Available tools 3

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

startup
find_startup_perks
Rank the startup credits, perks and deals one specific company can claim, from a catalog of 1,000+ programs (AWS Activate, Google for Startups, Microsoft for Startups, NVIDIA Inception, Anthropic, Stripe Atlas, Mercury, HubSpot and more). Use it when the user describes their own startup and asks what they can get or qualify for; use search_startup_perks to look up a provider or topic without a company profile, and get_startup_perk for one program's full terms. It checks each program's stated eligibility (stage, funding gate, raised-amount cap, company age, region) against the profile, ranks the categories the user needs first and takes each need in turn, and leaves out programs whose applications are paused or closed. Returns up to 25 programs, each with the value as the provider states it, whether the company qualifies and why, how to claim it, and links to the StartupPerks page, the provider's application and the provider's terms, plus a realistic claimable total (one program per provider, cloud counted once). Read-only; values are headline maximums, not guarantees.
get_startup_perk
Return the full terms of one startup program. Use it after find_startup_perks or search_startup_perks by passing the slug from a result's details_url, or with a program or provider name when the user asks about one program (for example "What are the terms of AWS Activate Founders?"). Returns what the program gives, every eligibility gate (stages, funding requirement, raised-amount and company-age caps, regions), other requirements, expiry, how to claim, the application status and when it was last verified, the provider's apply and source links, up to 3 open alternatives from other providers in the same category, and the category guide. Returns an error when nothing matches; search_startup_perks can then find the program. Read-only.
search_startup_perks
Search the catalog of 1,000+ startup programs by provider, program or topic. Use it for questions like "Does Stripe have a startup program?" or "Which providers give GPU credits?", or to browse a category, a benefit type, or programs open to any startup without investor or accelerator backing; use find_startup_perks instead when the user wants what a specific company qualifies for. A provider or program name returns only programs that carry that name; a topic (CRM, banking, GPU, payroll) also matches the category that covers it, and rarer words weigh more. Programs whose applications are paused or closed are left out. Returns up to 25 programs with the stated value, the primary eligibility gate and links, plus a page to browse more. Read-only.

StartupPerks — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can StartupPerks do?
It exposes 3 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: find_startup_perks, get_startup_perk, search_startup_perks. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →
Is StartupPerks working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 0 of 91 checks got a reply (0.0%), average response time 114 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
The registry lists StartupPerks as active — why does it not respond?
The official MCP registry stores what the author submitted; it does not verify that the server still runs. We check the endpoint ourselves, and this one does not answer. Catalogues that copy the registry without checking will show it as working.
How do I connect StartupPerks?
Copy the ready config from this page. We generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each in the form that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.
Does StartupPerks need an API key?
No. StartupPerks completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 3 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
