Fundraise from inside your AI agent

Capital Atlas is a remote MCP server. Connect it once and your agent can find the funds deploying into companies like yours, read their recent deals, pick the partner to contact and draft the first email.

Connect your agent Browse the tools

What you can ask

“Find seed funds in the Nordics writing $1–3M checks into climate software.”
“Which of my strong matches did a deal in the last six months, and who should I email there?”
“Draft a warm intro email to the partner at Northlight asking for a 20-minute call.”

Connect your agent

The server URL is the same for every client. You sign in with your Capital Atlas founder account the first time your agent uses a tool.

Server URL

https://capitalatlas.ai/api/mcp

Claude → Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector. Name it Capital Atlas and paste the URL.

Server URL

ChatGPT → Settings → Connectors → Create. Paste the URL as the MCP server and choose OAuth.

MCP server URL

https://capitalatlas.ai/api/mcp

Run once in your terminal, then type /mcp in Claude Code to sign in.

bash

claude mcp add --transport http capital-atlas https://capitalatlas.ai/api/mcp

bash

codex mcp add capital-atlas --url https://capitalatlas.ai/api/mcpcodex mcp login capital-atlas

Add to Cursor

Or add it to ~/.cursor/mcp.json:

~/.cursor/mcp.json

{  "mcpServers": {    "capital-atlas": {      "url": "https://capitalatlas.ai/api/mcp"    }  }}

Any client that supports remote MCP over HTTP works with the same URL, including Windsurf, VS Code and Zed.

Sign-in and access

The server uses OAuth 2.1 with dynamic client registration and PKCE, so there are no API keys to paste. Your agent opens a sign-in page, you approve access once, and the token refreshes on its own.

Plan: the tools need Pro ($99/mo) or Team ($149/mo). See pricing
Account: sign in with the founder account that owns your startup profile. Matches, shortlist and drafts all come from that profile.
Any fund: profiles, contacts and outreach briefs work for every fund in Capital Atlas, whether you found it with search_funds or it is one of your matches.

Tools

Agents pick tools on their own from your request. You rarely need to name one, but knowing them helps you ask for exactly what you want.

`atlas_mcp_status`

Atlas MCP StatusAny planRead only

Checks that the server is reachable and what this account can use: whether it's a founder, a VC firm or both, the founder plan (free, pro or fundraise; fundraise is the Team plan) when there's a startup workspace, and which tool groups work. Founder tools need Pro or Team; vc_ tools are free for VC firms. Agents call this first when another tool returns an upgrade message.

No parameters.

Instructions for agents

/for-agents tells an agent how to use these tools well: read the startup profile first, check each fund's recent deals before recommending it, ask before writing, and never present a draft as sent. The same text is at /for-agents.md for agents that read Markdown. Paste it into your agent's instructions or project rules.

llms.txt

/llms.txt lists the public pages of Capital Atlas with a one-line summary each, following the llms.txt convention. Agents that browse the web read it to find the right page without crawling the site.

Sources and freshness

Fund managers, funds and deals come from licensed private-markets data, combined with profiles that firms keep up to date on Capital Atlas.
Matches are computed from your startup profile: stage, sectors, geography and raise amount. Keep it current with update_startup_profile.
Investor signals such as profile views and deck requests come from activity on Capital Atlas.
