NPM package @gitdealflow/mcp-signal
Claude Code 
claude mcp add gitdealflow-github-signals-for-startup-i -- npx -y @gitdealflow/mcp-signal@2.2.2
JSON configuration (Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code)

VC Deal Flow Signal — MCP Server

Search startup engineering acceleration signals directly from your AI assistant.

Glama A-Tier (4.9 / 5.0). 13 tools — 10 free, no API key. One-line install for Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, Cline, and Continue via npx -y @gitdealflow/mcp-signal.

Tracks commit velocity, contributor growth, and repository expansion across 15 sectors and 350+ startups. Built for angels, scouts, and technical operators looking for traction signals before they show up in traditional deal flow.

Install

Add to your Claude Desktop config (claude_desktop_config.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "vc-deal-flow-signal": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@gitdealflow/mcp-signal"]
    }
  }
}

Or for Claude Code (.mcp.json in project root):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "vc-deal-flow-signal": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@gitdealflow/mcp-signal"]
    }

Data

All data is sourced live from the deal flow data API public API. No API key required. Updated weekly on Mondays.

Complementary: the Scout Game

If you want to put your own eye on the line, there's a prediction game on top of the same dataset at signals.gitdealflow.com/predict. Call which tracked startups raise a round in the next 6 months, earn points when your calls resolve, climb a public rank ladder from Curious to Oracle. Free tier: 3 predictions per month. Paid: 10 per month. Leaderboard: signals.gitdealflow.com/leaderboard.

Complementary: two Chrome extensions

Same dataset, different surfaces. Install one or both:

  • VC Deal Flow Signal — Crunchbase + Wellfound badge: a green "Accelerating" engineering-acceleration badge appears inline on any Crunchbase or Wellfound startup profile where the GitHub data is interesting. For investors who research deals in browser tabs.
  • VC GitHub Lookup — Startup Signals on Hover (NEW, May 2026): hover any GitHub repo or org link to see commit velocity (14d), velocity change vs prior period, contributor count and growth, signal type, and stage estimate. Chip injected on direct repo and org page loads. Toolbar opens a manual lookup form for any GitHub URL. For developer-investors who live on GitHub.

Both are free in perpetuity. Manifest V3, no analytics, no account.
