MCP server for the ProspectAPIs funding data and research API. It gives an MCP client (Claude Desktop, Claude
Code, Cursor and others) fourteen tools over https://api.prospectapis.com, one per customer endpoint (the
liveness probe GET /health has none; api_version answers the same question). Five tools change state:
research_submit (starts a paid research job), watchlist_create, watchlist_test, watchlist_delete and
feedback_send; every other tool only reads.
| Tool | Endpoint | Cost |
|---|---|---|
funding_search | GET /v1/funding | $0.02 per record returned, after 100 free records a month; no match is free |
funding_get | GET /v1/funding/:id | $0.02 when found; a missing id is free |
research_submit | POST /v1/research | one research at research_price_usd (see account_balance), charged only when the brief completes; refunded on failure |
research_get | GET /v1/research/:id | free; poll until status is completed or failed |
watchlist_create, watchlist_list, watchlist_get, watchlist_deliveries, watchlist_test, watchlist_delete | /v1/watchlists | free to manage; a delivered event costs one record, only when your webhook answers 2xx |
account_balance | GET /v1/account | free |
feedback_send | POST /v1/feedback | free; reports a bug, wrong field or missing capability to the team (10 an hour per key) |
pricing_get | GET /pricing | free, no key needed; the live price list |
api_version | GET /v1/version | free, no key needed |
funding_search filters: since, until (YYYY-MM-DD), round (comma list such as seed,series_a),
min_amount_usd, max_amount_usd, company, domain, investor, country, limit (1 to 100) and
cursor (the previous page's next_cursor, passed back unchanged).
research_submit takes exactly one prospect identifier (domain, website_url, company_name,
company_linkedin_url, a work email or linkedin_url), or person_name with company_name, plus an optional
context (your own product, at most 1,000 characters) and purpose (account_research, pre_call or
outreach). It returns a research_id at once; a brief takes 20 to 90 seconds.
Configure
| Variable | Required | Default |
|---|---|---|
PROSPECTAPIS_API_KEY | yes (all tools except pricing_get and api_version) | none |
PROSPECTAPIS_BASE_URL | no | https://api.prospectapis.com |
Client config (for example claude_desktop_config.json):
{
"mcpServers": {
"prospectapis": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "prospectapis-mcp"],
"env": { "PROSPECTAPIS_API_KEY": "pa_live_..." }
}
}
}
Claude Code: claude mcp add prospectapis -e PROSPECTAPIS_API_KEY=pa_live_... -- npx -y prospectapis-mcp.
Develop
cd mcp
npm install
npm test # mocked fetch over an in-memory MCP transport, no network
npm run check
The package is versioned independently of the API (SemVer, CHANGELOG.md in this folder). It is marked
private so it cannot be published by accident; publishing is done only from the product's own npm identity.
