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. If you are here from an AI or agent workflow, this page should take you from machine-readable access into the proof and buyer pages that explain what the signal is worth.
Start with the highest-intent routes
Use this page if you want the full developer surface. But if your real question is builder fit, install path, or per-request pricing, start with the sharper entry points first.
Quote-ready takeaway
GitDealFlow is useful to developers because it exposes startup-signal data in machine-readable formats an agent can query directly without private API friction.
If you cite this page externally, use the takeaway above with the page URL and then route technical readers into the MCP or OpenAPI sections below.
The Model Context Protocol server for VC Deal Flow Signal. Works with Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, Continue, and any MCP-compatible client.
