# VC Deal Flow Signal — MCP Server Search startup engineering acceleration signals directly from your AI assistant. [](https://glama.ai/mcp/servers/@kindrat86/vc-deal-flow-signal) > Glama A-Tier (4.9 / 5.0). 13 tools — 10 free, no API key. One-line install for Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, Cline, and Continue via `npx -y @gitdealflow/mcp-signal`.  Tracks commit velocity, contributor growth, and repository expansion across 20 sectors and 85+ startups. Built for angels, scouts, and technical operators looking for traction signals before they show up in traditional deal flow. ## Install Add to your Claude Desktop config (`claude_desktop_config.json`): ```json { "mcpServers": { "vc-deal-flow-signal": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@gitdealflow/mcp-signal"] } } } ``` Or for Claude Code (`.mcp.json` in project root): ```json { "mcpServers": { "vc-deal-flow-signal": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@gitdealflow/mcp-signal"] } } } ``` ## Tools All tools are read-only, idempotent, and fetch live data from the public API (no auth required).

No API key required. Updated weekly on Mondays. ## Complementary: the Scout Game If you want to put your own eye on the line, there's a prediction game on top of the same dataset at [signals.gitdealflow.com/predict](https://signals.gitdealflow.com/predict). Call which tracked startups raise a round in the next 6 months, earn points when your calls resolve, climb a public rank ladder from Curious to Oracle. Free tier: 3 predictions per month. Paid: 10 per month. Leaderboard: [signals.gitdealflow.com/leaderboard](https://signals.gitdealflow.com/leaderboard). ## Complementary: two Chrome extensions Same dataset, different surfaces. Install one or both: - **[VC Deal Flow Signal — Crunchbase + Wellfound badge](https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/hehkgipiamajnnlpkfhpeoeaoaogmknn)**: a green "Accelerating" engineering-acceleration badge appears inline on any Crunchbase or Wellfound startup profile where the GitHub data is interesting. For investors who research deals in browser tabs. - **[VC GitHub Lookup — Startup Signals on Hover](https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/vc-github-lookup-%E2%80%94-startu/plgngijmloeljfkenecdkhiblcfcbblm)** (NEW, May 2026): hover any GitHub repo or org link to see commit velocity (14d), velocity change vs prior period, contributor count and growth, signal type, and stage estimate. Chip injected on direct repo and org page loads. Toolbar opens a manual lookup form for any GitHub URL. For developer-investors who live on GitHub. Both are free in perpetuity. Manifest V3, no analytics, no account. ## Links - Website: https://gitdealflow.com - Dashboard: https://signals.gitdealflow.com - Scout Game: https://signals.gitdealflow.com/predict - Leaderboard: https://signals.gitdealflow.com/leaderboard - Chrome extension #1 (Crunchbase + Wellfound badge): https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/hehkgipiamajnnlpkfhpeoeaoaogmknn - Chrome extension #2 (VC GitHub Lookup — hover): https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/vc-github-lookup-%E2%80%94-startu/plgngijmloeljfkenecdkhiblcfcbblm - JSON API: https://signals.gitdealflow.com/api/signals.json - Twitter/X: https://x.com/data_nerd ## License MIT
