For AI agent builders · Pay-as-you-go · No subscription
If you’re shipping a deal-flow agent, an investor-briefing assistant, or a startup-research tool, the bottleneck isn’t the LLM — it’s the data layer. We sell the data layer. Six free MCP tools cover discovery and shallow lookup. The seventh — get_deep_signal — runs at €0.19/call with misses free. Zero rate limits inside quota. ~200ms median.
Start with the highest-intent routes
Use this page when you want the builder-specific offer. But if your real question is proof, MCP workflow fit, or buyer-side evaluation, start with the sharper pages first.
The single belief
That’s the only durable difference between an agent that briefs investors after the fact and one that briefs them before the round closes. Same LLM, same prompt, completely different output — because the input is forward-looking instead of lagging.
“The deck lags the code by 21 to 47 days.” — The Data Nerd
Six free MCP tools — distribution magnet, never gated
The free six cover discovery and shallow lookup. Most agents never need to upgrade — the seventh tool is for when you’ve identified a target and need report-grade output for an investor brief.
get_trending_startups
Top N startups across all 20 sectors, ranked by 14-day commit-velocity acceleration.
search_startups_by_sector
Filter the 4,200-org universe by sector slug + stage + geography. Returns ranked list.
get_startup_signal
Shallow signal for one named org — current acceleration percentile, signal type, last refresh.
get_signals_summary
Aggregate signal counts across the entire universe — hiring bursts, infra buildouts, shipping sprints, framework migrations.
get_scout_receipts
Backwards-looking taste grade for any GitHub username. Same engine that powers /receipts.
get_methodology
Open methodology spec — every signal definition, the SSRN abstract, the Zenodo dataset link, the regression code.

The seventh tool — pay-per-call deep enrichment
get_deep_signal · €0.19/call · misses freeReturns a composite 0–100 score, in-sector rank, plain-English thesis, top 3 comparables, multi-period history, and a citation string. Hits charge one credit. Misses (org not in our universe) return { found: false } with a suggestion and charge zero. Credits never expire.

Crypto-native alternative — x402 / USDC on Base
Fully autonomous agents with their own wallet can skip the credit pack and pay per call in USDC on Base via the x402 protocol. No signup, no API key — same payload, $0.19/call settled per request via HTTP 402. Misses still free.

Forever. The free MCP server is the public entry layer. Credits only apply to the seventh tool (get_deep_signal) and its HTTP twin (POST /api/agent/deep-signal). The free six stay free permanently.
A composite 0–100 score weighted across velocity / contributor growth / repo novelty, in-sector rank and percentile, a one-sentence plain-English thesis you can drop into a memo, top 3 sector comparables with signal type, up to 6 prior periods of velocity history, and a citation string. The free get_startup_signal returns just the current percentile and signal type. The deep tool is what you call when you've identified a target and need report-grade output.
One credit per match. €19 buys 100 credits = €0.19/call. If you query an org we don't track ('found: false'), the call is free and your balance is unchanged. Credits never expire — buy when you need to, use when you need to. Top up any time. No subscription, no monthly minimum, no auto-renewal. The HMAC API key stays the same key forever; topping up just adds credits to its balance.
~200ms median for get_deep_signal. The endpoint is HMAC-keyed (no DB lookup on the hot path), runs on Vercel Functions in fluid-compute mode, and pre-computes scores nightly. Inside your quota there are no rate limits — burst freely.
Yes for now. We may add bulk-pack pricing (1k+ packs at lower per-call rates) once volume justifies it. Founding builders who buy at €0.19/call will keep that rate on top-ups indefinitely, same lock-in policy as the founding-member subscription tiers.
Yes — three runtimes covered on /agents/credits: MCP config (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, any host), HTTP curl, and balance check. The MCP server is the same npm package as the free version (@gitdealflow/mcp-signal); set GITDEALFLOW_API_KEY in env and the deep tool wakes up. The other six tools ignore the env var entirely.
The free tools take three minutes to wire into Claude Desktop or Cursor. The paid tool takes one Stripe checkout and a bearer-token header. If your agent doesn’t produce sharper output after burning the first 100 credits, the credits never expire — and the free six tools stay live regardless.
