How to Give Claude and ChatGPT Live Funding Data With the Fundable MCP
Published August 31, 2026 by Jacob Klionsky
If you research startups or investors, your assistant can reason but it cannot tell you who raised this week, because it has no live funding data. The Fundable MCP gives it that, a live venture data layer you can query in plain language and push into your own tools. Fundable is a real-time VC funding and startup data platform, and MCP is how its data reaches your assistant.
What you need
- A Fundable account on Pro+, the plan that includes MCP access.
- A client that supports remote MCP connectors: Claude on desktop, claude.ai, or Claude Code, or ChatGPT.
- Your Fundable login, for the OAuth sign-in.
Connect the Fundable MCP in three steps
1. Add the Fundable connector. In your client's connector settings, add Fundable's MCP server: https://mcp.tryfundable.ai. It is a hosted, remote server, so there is nothing to install.
2. Authorize with your Fundable account. The server uses OAuth, so you sign in through your browser with your Fundable login. Access requires an active Pro+ subscription.
3. Ask your first question. Type a funding question in plain language. The assistant queries the dataset and answers in the chat, and you can keep refining from there.
Watch the full flow, from connecting the server to the first answer:
Once it is connected, you can ask things like:
- US companies that raised a seed round in the last 12 months, backed by a16z or Y Combinator, with a Stanford founder
- Who led a given company's latest round, and who else took part
- Series B SaaS companies in London that raised this quarter
- Which funds have backed at least three developer-tool startups this year
From there you can combine the results with your own notes and push qualified companies into your CRM, so the assistant works as a sourcing workspace, not just a search box.
Give your assistant a live view of the funding market
Connect the Fundable MCP and your assistant can answer funding questions the moment you ask them, straight from the dataset.
Frequently asked questions
What is Fundable MCP?
MCP is an open standard for connecting AI assistants to external data. Fundable MCP is a hosted server that exposes Fundable's funding dataset through it, so Claude or ChatGPT can query it live.
Does Fundable MCP work with ChatGPT?
It works with any client that supports remote MCP connectors. Claude supports this on desktop, claude.ai, and Claude Code. ChatGPT supports remote MCP servers as connectors.
How is Fundable MCP different from the API?
The API is for scheduled, programmatic workflows. MCP is for asking questions in natural language inside an assistant. It is the same data, reached a different way. If you are building a pipeline, use the API; if you are researching, use MCP.
What plan do I need?
MCP access is included on Fundable Pro+.
Do I need to code?
No. You add the connector, sign in, and ask questions in plain language.
