Perplexity

Query raw company data from your terminal

`get_company_details` returns pure JSON payloads that you can pipe directly into local CLI tools like jq. Claude Code executes the query, filters the exact fields you specify, and prints clean output to stdout. This terminal-first MCP execution makes it easy to audit startup metrics without leaving your shell. You get instant access to headcount, location, and founding dates in a single command.

Build automated bash scripts with this MCP Server

`search_companies` allows you to write shell scripts that fetch target startups based on specific growth signals. Claude Code writes the script, sets up the execution permissions, and tests the pipeline. You can run these scripts as cron jobs to monitor specific industries. The output gets written directly to your local logs or database files without any manual overhead.

Audit venture funding rounds via CLI

`search_funding_rounds` searches the entire history of venture deals directly from your command prompt. Claude Code parses the returned transactions, extracting deal sizes and investor participants. By combining this with `get_company_funding_rounds`, the agent prints a clean chronological timeline of any startup's capitalization. You get the raw facts instantly, ready to be piped into your next pipeline.
