VC and Accelerator Portfolio List Builder MCP Server

What it does
Y Combinator is read from its public company directory and can be filtered by batch, industry, region, status, and search words. Andreessen Horowitz (a16z), Sequoia Capital, Accel, Index Ventures, Founders Fund, Greylock, Lightspeed Venture Partners, Khosla Ventures, First Round Capital, Techstars, and Antler are built in, and any other portfolio page works by URL. Each source also returns one free summary row with the count and the way it was read, or the reason it returned nothing. Pages are read from the investor's own site and robots.txt is obeyed.
All of the work runs on Apify. This package is a thin client that starts the actor run, waits for it, and hands back the dataset rows.
Quick start
You need Node.js 18 or newer and an Apify account with an API token.
Add this to your Claude Desktop config (claude_desktop_config.json), Cursor, or any MCP client:
{
"mcpServers": {
"mamba-vc-accelerator-portfolio-list-builder": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",
"@mambalabsdev/mcp-vc-accelerator-portfolio-list-builder"
],
"env": {
"APIFY_TOKEN": "your-apify-token"
}
}
}
}Restart the client. The build_portfolio_list tool appears.
Prerequisites
Node.js 18 or newer.
An Apify API token from console.apify.com/account/integrations, set as
APIFY_TOKEN. The server lists its tool without a token; a call needs one.
