Built on the Model Context Protocol (MCP) for Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and more

The Model Context Protocol standardizes how applications expose capabilities to LLMs. Instead of operating in isolation, your AI gains direct access to external platforms, live data, and real-world actions through secure, standardized connections.

This connection provides 13 powerful capabilities that interface natively with Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and other compatible AI platforms. No middleware. No custom integration required.

The manual headache of tracking venture capital deal flow., Solved with Vinkius AI Gateway

Today, figuring out where a company stands financially means opening multiple tabs: one for the company profile, another for Crunchbase, and then maybe an investor site just to see who backed them. You spend hours copy-pasting funding round details into spreadsheets just to map out the full financial narrative.

With this MCP, you simply ask your agent about a firm's market position or its investment history. The system pulls all that data—the company profile, the deal records, the investors involved—and gives you one coherent answer right in the chat window.

Get full funding intelligence with get_org_funding.

Manual tracking requires finding every press release and then manually stitching together which investor led which round. It's slow, error-prone work that leaves huge gaps in the historical record.

Now, running get_org_funding gives you a single, comprehensive timeline of capital raised, showing amounts and lead investors from Seed to IPO without leaving your workflow.

What your AI can actually do with this

Need to know what's happening in a fast-moving sector? This MCP connects CB Insights data directly to your agent. You can use natural conversation to research entire markets, pull up full company profiles, or track how much money an organization has raised over time. For example, you can ask about the top competitors of any firm and get a list based on market overlap.

It also lets you explore major investor portfolios—you'll see exactly which companies firms like Sequoia Capital have backed and what their average check size is. Getting this data used to involve jumping between dozens of terminals and reports; now, through Vinkius, it’s all available in your AI client with simple conversation.

You get actionable business intelligence without ever leaving your workflow.
