TrueBases MCP Server

An open-source Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that gives AI agents access to TrueBases data intelligence.

What is TrueBases? TrueBases is the data intelligence platform. We help teams to find opportunities, track market activity, and make better decisions using real-time data from across the internet.

What can agents do with this?

Ask your AI assistant things like:

• "Find me seed investors in climate tech"
• "What grants are available for AI startups?"
• "Show me accelerator programs in Europe"
• "Find remote startup jobs for engineers"
• "Which VCs invest in health tech at Series A?"

The agent calls TrueBases MCP tools under the hood and returns real data.
