MCP server · connected agents

Run your raise from Claude Code, Cursor, or Claude.

Signal Raise speaks MCP, the open protocol AI agents use to pick up tools. Give your agent one key and it can read your investor pipeline, search the investor database, refine your drafts, check your inbox, and, with your say-so, send. Your agent does the thinking. Signal Raise supplies the facts and the actions.

It is the opposite of a chatbot bolted onto a dashboard. You stay in the tool you already work in all day, and your raise comes along.

Ask your agent things like

“Which investors replied this week, and what did they say?”
“Find five seed investors in climate hardware and add the two best fits to my pipeline.”
“Rewrite the draft for Maya Chen so it leads with our revenue number.”
“Who in my network can introduce me to Northwind Capital?”
“Send the drafted email to Daniel Okoye.”

Built so it cannot run away

Sending, replying, starting a run, and pausing or resuming outreach need your explicit approval, every time.
Every address is verified before a send; drafts with unfilled placeholders are refused.
60 requests a minute per key, 25 rows per search, 100 contact lookups a day as a ceiling credits cannot raise.
Never exposed: billing, team management, your local files, send-all.
Keys act as you, are shown once, and revoke instantly.

Set up in two minutes

Questions

What is MCP?+

The Model Context Protocol is an open standard that lets an AI agent use outside tools. Claude, Claude Code, Cursor, and VS Code all speak it. Signal Raise runs an MCP server, so any of those agents can read and act on your workspace once you give it a key.

Does this use Signal Raise's AI or my own?+

Your own. The thinking happens in your agent, on your subscription. Signal Raise provides the tools it calls for facts and actions: your pipeline, the investor database, your drafts, your inbox. The only AI on our side runs inside specific tools, such as refining a draft, and is metered the same way it is in the dashboard.

Can my agent send emails on its own?+

No. Sending, replying, starting a run, and pausing or resuming outreach require a confirm flag the agent may only set after you approved that exact action. Every address still passes verification, drafts with unfilled placeholders are refused, and your plan limits apply. Send-all is not available to agents at all.

What can an agent never touch?+

Billing, team management, your local files through Signal Bridge, and bulk sending. Those stay in the dashboard, under your own login.

How is scraping prevented?+

Each key is limited to 60 requests a minute, every list or search returns at most 25 rows, and contact lookups are capped per day at a ceiling that buying credits cannot raise. Keys act as the workspace owner and can be revoked instantly.

Which plans include it?+

Paid plans, and free workspaces during their first-month boost. Up to two keys per workspace.
