Three ways to build on top of VC Deal Flow Signal: an MCP server for AI assistants, raw JSON and CSV endpoints for automation, and an OpenAPI schema for generating typed clients.
The Model Context Protocol server for VC Deal Flow Signal. Works with Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, Continue, and any MCP-compatible client.

Rate limits
Public endpoints are cached with s-maxage=3600 and served from the edge. There is no hard per-IP limit, but sustained high-frequency scraping should use the RSS feed or a cached local copy instead.
