Details
From the project READMEHiveround — MCP server for live venture-capital raises
Hiveround is a marketplace for live startup
fundraises, built MCP-first. Founders publish a markdown pitch
(pitch.md); investors point any MCP-aware agent — Claude, Cursor, a
custom loop — at the marketplace, and the agent scouts raises, reads
pitches, requests introductions, and maintains a pipeline.
This repository hosts the public metadata for the hosted server. There is nothing to install or run from here — the server is remote.

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.
