About Pitchprotocol
Pitchprotocol is an MCP server for founders and agents preparing or tracking applications to Pitch Protocol’s venture-capital service for AI-agent and agent-native startups. It provides the live application schema and read-only status checks; submission happens through Pitch Protocol’s email-verified flow.
Key features
- 01Retrieves the live application schema
- 02Shows required fields and character limits
- 03Includes enums and a complete example
- 04Checks application status and research progress
- 05Read-only status lookup
Use cases
- 01Prepare a Pitch Protocol application
- 02Check field requirements before drafting
- 03Track an existing application
MCP support
Exposes `pitchprotocol_schema` and `pitchprotocol_application_status` to MCP clients. It runs locally over stdio or through Pipeworx; application submission itself uses Pitch Protocol’s email-verified flow.
Configuration
Remote servers need no local install. Pick your client, then copy the config or install in one click.

Tools
Details
From the project READMEmcp-pitchprotocol
Pitch Protocol — agent-native venture-capital infrastructure (pitchprotocol.vc).
Part of Pipeworx — an MCP gateway connecting AI agents to 1683+ live data sources.
Tools
| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
pitchprotocol_schema | Get the LIVE Pitch Protocol pitch-application schema — the exact fields, character limits, enums, and a complete example a founder (or AI agent) must fill to pitch AI-agent / agent-native startups to matched VC funds via pitchprotocol.vc. Use for "how do I pitch Pitch Protocol", "what does an agent-native VC application require", or before assembling a submission. Returns the authoritative schema (company/sectors/traction/team/raise/governance, submitterType humanFounder|aiAgent|aiFounded). Submission is completed through Pitch Protocol's own email-verified flow. |
pitchprotocol_application_status | Check the status of a Pitch Protocol pitch application by its id (draft | intake | submitted, plus research progress). Read-only — use to track a submission you have already created via Pitch Protocol's flow. |
Quick Start
Add to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):
{
"mcpServers": {
"pitchprotocol": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/pitchprotocol/mcp"
}
}
}
What this endpoint actually serves
tools/list at https://gateway.pipeworx.io/pitchprotocol/mcp returns the tools in the table
above plus the shared Pipeworx meta-tools — ask_pipeworx,
discover_tools, search_within, remember/recall and the rest of the
gateway-wide set. So the tool count you see is larger than this table: a
single-pack endpoint currently lists roughly 30 shared tools alongside the
pack's own. The connection's initialize response states its exact scope, and
is the authoritative answer for a given day.
This is deliberate, not multiplexing by accident. The meta-tools are what let a
scoped connection answer a question this pack does not cover — via
ask_pipeworx, which routes across the whole catalog — without you adding a
second MCP server. There is currently no way to mount a pack endpoint without
them; if the extra schemas cost you more context than the routing is worth,
connect to the full gateway once rather than to several pack endpoints.
Or connect to the full Pipeworx gateway to get every pack's tools listed directly, instead of just this one's:
{
"mcpServers": {
"pipeworx": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/mcp"
}
}
}
Both URLs reach the same gateway and the same 1683+ data sources. The
only difference is which pack's tools are listed directly; ask_pipeworx
reaches all of them from either one.
No MCP client? Call it over HTTP
curl -X POST https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/pitchprotocol_schema \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-d '{}'
No account needed for the first calls. Inspect any tool: GET https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/pitchprotocol_schema. Find one: POST https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/search_packs with {"query":"..."}.
Standalone (no gateway account)
This package also runs as a local stdio MCP server — no Pipeworx account, no gateway round-trip:
{
"mcpServers": {
"pitchprotocol": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@pipeworx/mcp-pitchprotocol"]
}
}
}
Or run it directly to confirm it starts:
npx -y @pipeworx/mcp-pitchprotocol
It speaks MCP over stdin/stdout and answers initialize/tools/list/tools/call
for only this pack's tools — none of the shared meta-tools the gateway
connection above adds. Same source, same tools, no ask_pipeworx routing.
Using with ask_pipeworx
Instead of calling tools directly, you can ask questions in plain English — this works on the pack endpoint above as well as on the full gateway:
ask_pipeworx({ question: "your question about Pitchprotocol data" })
The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.

New to MCP?
From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
