Security Report

4.8
Use Caution4.8High Risk

FundzWatch MCP is a well-structured financial data aggregation server with proper authentication practices and appropriate permission scoping. The code demonstrates good security hygiene: credentials are read from environment variables (never hardcoded), API requests use Bearer token authorization, and sensitive operations require authentication. The server's purpose (fetching business event data) aligns well with its permissions (network HTTP calls, environment variable access). Minor code quality observations exist but do not indicate security vulnerabilities. Supply chain analysis found 3 known vulnerabilities in dependencies (0 critical, 3 high severity). Package verification found 1 issue.

FundzWatch MCP Server

npm version License: MIT Node

Listed on

npm Smithery Cline Marketplace awesome-mcp-servers Glama

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.

Hosted assistants (ChatGPT, Claude.ai, Gemini, Grok) — no install

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.net

Add 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.

Quick Start

Option A — 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 env block 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).

Option B — Smithery (hosted, one-click)

FundzWatch is live on Smithery: smithery.ai/servers/fundzwatch/fundzwatch-mcp

npx -y @smithery/cli install @fundzwatch/mcp-server --client claude

Then just ask

  • "Which companies raised in the last year and are hiring right now?" (no key)
  • "Show me UCC liens lapsing in the next 12 months in California." (no key)
  • "Find recently funded companies with a Form 5500 plan and a named carrier." (no key)
  • "Get my AI-scored leads with buyer-intent above 70." (key)
  • "Track stripe.com and github.com and alert me on new events." (key)

What is FundzWatch?

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.
