Early access open — Join the waitlist at foundersignal.io

Ask Claude what to build. Get ranked opportunities backed by real market data.

FounderSignal is an MCP server that connects Claude (and any MCP-compatible AI client) to curated market intelligence — revenue figures, growth signals, competition analysis and community pain points aggregated from the platforms founders actually use.

Instead of spending a Saturday copy-pasting data from AppSumo, TrustMRR, Reddit, Google, or Product Hunt into a spreadsheet, you just ask.

    TDQS

    A3.9/5.0

    Scored across 2 tools

    Disambiguation5/5

    The two tools have distinct purposes: market_query retrieves intelligence data, while generate_report exports a report based on that data. There is no overlap, making them easy to distinguish.

    Naming Consistency5/5

    Both tool names follow a consistent verb_noun pattern with lowercase and underscores (market_query, generate_report). The naming style is uniform and predictable.

    Tool Count2/5

    With only 2 tools for a market intelligence platform covering multiple sources, the tool count feels insufficient. A minimum of 3-5 tools would better cover typical workflows like saving or filtering queries.

    Completeness3/5

    The tools cover querying and report generation, which forms a basic workflow. However, there are notable gaps: no tools for saving queries, viewing past results, or managing data, limiting the agent's ability to perform iterative analysis.

      LinkedIn prospect intelligence inside Claude. It automates the research behind outreach, not the sending: scrapes posts, profiles and comment threads into a local SQLite database, classifies what a person or company actually posts about, mines comment threads for people already describing your problem, and surfaces uncommon commonalities worth opening with.
