Indie Dev Ships a Funding Database as a Remote MCP Server with OAuth
zeninfinity · reddit · 2026-11-11
The maker of BloomWatch, a daily list of newly funded startups (round, amount, investors, open roles), launched a remote MCP server at bloomwatch.co/api/mcp (Streamable HTTP).
- Access: Chat clients (claude.ai, Claude desktop, ChatGPT) use OAuth with dynamic client registration and PKCE — add a custom connector, sign in, allow. Dev tools (Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Gemini CLI) use a Bearer key.
- Three read-only tools: recentraises (last 1–30 days, filters by round, industry, HQ country, hiring), searchcompanies (name/domain with same filters), getcompany (round and open roles), up to 25 rows per call.
- Tested: claude.ai returned 22 Series A rounds over two weeks; ChatGPT returned 10 seed rounds in 20 seconds.
MCP is part of the $29/mo plan (500 rows/day); new accounts get a 7-day trial with MCP included. The author invites feedback on tool shapes, especially tuning tool descriptions for ChatGPT vs Claude.
