That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed.
Here is a step-by-step guide with screenshots.
The key-less AI-agent gateway to FundzWatch answer sections — real-time business-event intelligence via the Model Context Protocol.
Give Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, Cline, or any MCP client live access to verified funding rounds, executive moves, UCC refinancing windows, Form 5500 benefit-plan signals, and AI-scored leads matched to your ICP.
7 of the 14 tools work with no API key, no signup, and no account — point your agent at the server and it returns live, daily-rescored "answer section" data on the first run, each row carrying the Fundz page that supports it. The other 7 (AI-scored leads, watchlists, full event feeds) need a Fundz Pro or Strategic seat.
This package is stdio: your client spawns it as a local subprocess, which hosted assistants cannot do. For those, point the client at the remote endpoint instead — no key, no signup, no account:
https://mcp.fundz.netAdd it as a custom connector / MCP server URL. It speaks Streamable HTTP (protocol 2025-06-18,
negotiating back to 2024-11-05) and serves the same seven key-less tools.

npx (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, Cline)No install needed. Add this to your client's MCP config:
{
"mcpServers": {
"fundzwatch": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@fundzwatch/mcp-server"],
"env": {
"FUNDZWATCH_API_KEY": "fundz_test_your_key_here"
}
}
}
}Config file locations for Claude Desktop:
macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json
Linux: ~/.config/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
The
envblock is optional. Omit it entirely and the 7 key-less tools still return live data. The keyed tools (AI-scored leads, watchlists, full event feeds) require a Fundz Pro or Strategic seat — see fundz.net/pricing.
For Cursor / Windsurf / Cline, use the same block under their MCP settings (the inner "fundzwatch": { ... } object).

FundzWatch.ai is the AI-agent front door to Fundz's verified business-event intelligence — funding rounds, acquisitions, executive moves, government contracts, hiring signals, UCC liens, and DOL Form 5500 benefit-plan filings, fused into cross-dataset "answer sections" that no single-source lookup reproduces. Everything is re-scored daily.
Key-less answer sections — point an agent at the server and get live data on day one, no signup.
AI-scored leads — companies scored against your ICP with buyer-intent and outreach guidance (Pro or Strategic seat).
Cross-dataset cohorts — funded-and-hiring, money-in-motion, refinancing windows, benefit-plans-in-play.
Who-finances-whom — lender (8,600+) and broker (65,000+) directories from UCC and Form 5500.
The 7 key-less tools need nothing at all. Keyed tools require a Pro or Strategic seat: fundz.net/pricing.
The full scored feeds, ICP filters, contact data, and daily alerts live in the Fundz app — app.fundz.net, Strategic plan ($149/mo).
Built by Fundz — millions of business events analyzed since 2017.
