One npm package — @gitdealflow/mcp-signal — installs in seven popular agent runtimes: Cursor, Cline, Block Goose, OpenHands, Aider (via mcpm-aider), AiderDesk, and Raycast. Each runtime gets the same six read-only tools — trending startups, sector lookup, single-startup signal, dataset summary, scout receipts, methodology — running against the identical weekly-refreshed dataset. No auth required.
npx -y @gitdealflow/mcp-signalAI-first code editor with native MCP support since v0.45. Adds servers via Settings → MCP → +Add new MCP server.
{
"mcpServers": {
"vc-deal-flow-signal": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@gitdealflow/mcp-signal"]
}
}
}Open Settings → MCP → +Add new MCP server, paste the snippet, and the six tools appear in the next chat. The streamable-HTTP variant works too — use "url": "https://signals.gitdealflow.com/api/mcp/rpc" instead of command/args.
Open-source autonomous coding agent for VS Code with a curated MCP marketplace. Install in one click once the marketplace entry merges.
// Cline → MCP Servers → Edit Config
{
"mcpServers": {
"vc-deal-flow-signal": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@gitdealflow/mcp-signal"],
"disabled": false,
"autoApprove": []
}
}
}Until the marketplace entry merges, paste the JSON above into Cline's MCP config (Cline panel → ⚙ → Edit Config). Restart Cline; the server appears in the MCP Servers list and tools become available immediately.
Open-source extensible AI agent (43k+ stars) from Block — runs MCP servers as extensions across CLI and Desktop.
goose session --with-extension "npx -y @gitdealflow/mcp-signal"
Works today via the --with-extension flag against any npx-installable MCP. Once PR #8974 merges, the server also appears in goose-docs.ai/extensions and installs via the directory's one-click button.
Autonomous coding agent (formerly OpenDevin) from All-Hands-AI. MCP servers via per-user JSON config — no marketplace, all servers are self-served.
// ~/.openhands/mcp.json
{
"mcpServers": {
"vc-deal-flow-signal": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@gitdealflow/mcp-signal"]
}
}
}OpenHands has no marketplace — every MCP server is added per-user. Drop the JSON above at ~/.openhands/mcp.json or use the GUI: Settings → MCP → Add Server. CLI shortcut: openhands mcp add vc-deal-flow-signal --transport stdio npx -- -y @gitdealflow/mcp-signal.
Aider doesn't natively run MCP servers (issue #2525 still open), but the community bridge mcpm-aider wires them in via shell-out.
npx -y mcpm-aider add vc-deal-flow-signal \ --command "npx -y @gitdealflow/mcp-signal"
Until Aider ships native MCP, the lutzleonhardt/mcpm-aider bridge is the practical path. AiderDesk users get the same tools by pasting the JSON snippet into Settings → Agent → MCP Servers → Add.
Electron wrapper around Aider with first-class MCP support in Agent Mode. Configure via Settings → Agent → MCP Servers.
{
"mcpServers": {
"vc-deal-flow-signal": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@gitdealflow/mcp-signal"]
}
}
}Open AiderDesk → Settings → Agent → MCP Servers → +Add. Paste the JSON. The six VC Deal Flow Signal tools become available in any Agent Mode task.
Mac launcher with native MCP runtime since v1.98 (May 2025). Install via the Manage MCP Servers command or the MCP Registry browser extension.
{
"mcpServers": {
"vc-deal-flow-signal": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@gitdealflow/mcp-signal"]
}
}
}Open Raycast → Manage MCP Servers → +Add Server, paste the snippet. Once PR #27618 merges into the MCP Registry extension, the server also installs via the in-Raycast registry browser.
Yes — every runtime above runs the exact same package: @gitdealflow/mcp-signal (current v1.5.2 on the npm registry, mirrored on the official MCP Registry as io.github.kindrat86/vc-deal-flow-signal). The classifications, methodology, and weekly refresh are identical across Cursor, Cline, Goose, OpenHands, Aider, AiderDesk, and Raycast. The streamable-HTTP variant at https://signals.gitdealflow.com/api/mcp/rpc also exposes the identical tools for runtimes that prefer hosted-MCP over local stdio.
No. The MCP server is read-only and unauthenticated. Every tool — get_trending_startups, search_startups_by_sector, get_startup_signal, get_signals_summary, get_scout_receipts, get_methodology — works anonymously across all seven runtimes. The HTTP variant supports OAuth 2.1 for runtimes that require it (Anthropic Connectors Directory, future enterprise gating), but anonymous calls remain supported indefinitely.
Cursor (cursor.directory listing — under review), Block Goose (PR #8974 open), Raycast (PR #27618 open), and Cline (issue #1491 submitted) all have marketplace submissions in flight that will give one-click install once accepted. OpenHands, Aider, and AiderDesk have no marketplace surface at all — installation is per-user JSON config, which the snippets above paste verbatim into the right file.
Skipped. The Continue Hub registry was deprecated in May 2026 — hub.continue.dev/hub returns HTTP 500 after the project's pivot to Continuous AI. We'll re-evaluate once a public registry comes back online.
Already covered on dedicated pages. Claude Desktop installs via the .mcpb extension at github.com/kindrat86/mcp-deal-flow-signal/releases or via Smithery one-click. Claude.ai uses the Anthropic Connectors Directory (HTTP MCP at https://signals.gitdealflow.com/api/mcp/rpc). Mistral Le Chat: see /integrations/mistral. ChatGPT GPTs: see /integrations/chatgpt.
Open an issue at github.com/kindrat86/mcp-deal-flow-signal/issues with the runtime name, version, and the verbatim error. The MCP server itself runs the same Node.js code in every host, so runtime-specific failures are usually transport/config issues we can resolve in a release within 24 hours.
VC Deal Flow Signal (signals.gitdealflow.com), <period name> data. Methodology: SSRN preprint 6606558. Refreshed weekly from public GitHub activity. Runtime-agnostic — the data does not depend on which agent runtime made the call.
