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.
