Startup Ignition ToolSuite MCP server

A remote Model Context Protocol server that connects AI assistants to a user's Startup Ignition ToolSuite account. ToolSuite is a startup idea validation platform used by founders, accelerators and university entrepreneurship programs.

This repository holds the registry metadata and documentation. The server itself is hosted by Startup Ignition.
Server addresshttps://mcp.startupignition.com/mcp
TransportStreamable HTTP
AuthenticationOAuth 2.1 with PKCE (dynamic client registration and client ID metadata documents supported)
Registry namecom.startupignition/toolsuite
Setup guidehttps://www.startupignition.com/toolsuite/connect/

What it does

With a user's permission the connector lets an assistant:

  • Read everything on the user's idea pages: idea analysis, Big Idea Canvas, business model canvas, customer personas, riskiest assumptions, interview scripts, interview findings (participants' identities removed), mentor conversations and version history.
  • Run the Startup Ignition validation steps: Idea Analysis, Big Idea Canvas, Business Model Canvas, Identify Assumptions, Interview Scripts, Wow! Factor Analysis, Market Research and Founder-Idea Fit, and ask the Startup Ignition mentor a question.
  • Edit canvas answers, canvas items, assumptions, personas, journey steps and storyboards. Every edit is recorded in the idea's history and can be undone.
  • Export any tool page as a PDF or a picture.

62 tools in all. Every tool carries a title and a readOnlyHint or destructiveHint annotation. Run tools spend the workspace's ToolSuite credits within a daily limit the user sets when connecting; the connector never sells credits or links to billing.

How to configure

  1. Add the server to your client. In VS Code: Command Palette → MCP: Add Server → HTTP → https://mcp.startupignition.com/mcp. Other clients are covered step by step in the setup guide.
  2. Start the server. Your browser opens the ToolSuite sign-in page.
  3. Sign in, choose the workspaces the assistant may use, the permissions (read, run tools, edit) and a daily usage limit, and click Approve.

No API key or client secret is needed. A ToolSuite account is required; free accounts can connect.

How to use

Ask the assistant about your ideas by name:

  • "Give me an overview of my idea in ToolSuite and what to do next."
  • "Identify the riskiest assumptions behind my idea and draft the interview scripts."
  • "Ask the Startup Ignition mentor which customer segment I should interview first."
  • "Show me my business model canvas as a picture."
  • "What did the customer interviews say about pricing?"

Disconnecting and privacy

Disconnect at any time in ToolSuite under Settings → AI assistants & MCP. Changing your password disconnects every app. Interview participants' names, contact details and interview links are never passed to the assistant.
