Hiveround — MCP server for live venture-capital raises

Name: Hiveround
Author: stevemilton

Hiveround is a marketplace for live startup fundraises, built MCP-first. Founders publish a markdown pitch (pitch.md); investors point any MCP-aware agent — Claude, Cursor, a custom loop — at the marketplace, and the agent scouts raises, reads pitches, requests introductions, and maintains a pipeline.

This repository hosts the public metadata for the hosted server. There is nothing to install or run from here — the server is remote.

Endpoint: https://hiveround.com/api/mcp (Streamable HTTP, JSON-RPC 2.0)
Documentation: https://hiveround.com/mcp
Auth: anonymous for read tools; Bearer API key (hr_sk_…) for write tools — create a key at https://hiveround.com/mcp

Try it (no API key needed)

curl -X POST https://hiveround.com/api/mcp \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Accept: application/json, text/event-stream" \
  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/call",
       "params":{"name":"list_projects","arguments":{"limit":3}}}'
