# Startup Health Score MCP for AI Agents AI Agent Connect

> Startup Health Score MCP quantifies your company's operational health from 0 to 100. It benchmarks your actual KPIs, like runway, CAC, and retention, against specific targets for every stage from Pre-seed to Series B. It identifies where you're winning and where you're falling behind your peers.

## Description

Stop guessing if your startup is actually performing well. Startup Health Score takes the guesswork out of growth by turning raw numbers into a clear health score. Instead of looking at a spreadsheet of isolated metrics, you can see how your specific stats stack up against what's expected for your current funding stage. It looks at five key areas: Finance, Product, Growth, Team, and Market. You can pull in the benchmarks for a Seed or Series A company, plug in your actual numbers, and see exactly where you're lagging. This Connector is part of the Vinkius catalog, making it easy to plug into your existing workflow. It gives you a diagnostic summary that tells you why your score is what it is, highlighting specific risks like a high burn multiple or low retention before they become deal-breakers.

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
What are the target benchmarks for a Seed stage startup?
```

**Response:** 
```
For a Seed stage startup, here are the typical targets you should be aiming for:

| Metric | Target Benchmark |
| :--- | :--- |
| **Runway** | At least 18 months |
| **Burn Multiple** | Below 2.0 |
| **Retention Rate** | Over 40% |

These targets help ensure you have enough capital to reach your next milestone while maintaining a healthy burn rate.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
My startup is at Series A. Our CAC is $50 and our target is $40. How does this affect our Growth score?
```

**Response:** 
```
Since your actual CAC ($50) is higher than the Series A target ($40), your **Growth dimension score will decrease**. This reflects lower capital efficiency in your customer acquisition. You might want to look into your marketing spend or conversion rates to bring that cost down.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Generate a health report for a Series B company with these scores: Finance: 0.8, Product: 0.9, Growth: 0.4, Team: 0.7, Market: 0.6.
```

**Response:** 
```
Here is your startup health report:

**Final Health Score: 68/100**
**Status: Stable**

**Key Insights:**
*   **Strengths:** Product (0.9) and Finance (0.8) are performing exceptionally well.
*   **Critical Risks:** Growth (0.4) is your biggest bottleneck. The low efficiency in CAC and MoM growth is dragging down your overall score.

I recommend focusing on your growth strategy to improve your capital efficiency.
```
