About this project

Teahose-mcp provides valuable AI-market intelligence by offering tools to uncover funding signals, competitor search, and buzz from podcasts and newsletters. Whether searching for similar companies or keeping up with fresh funding rounds in the AI space, tools like find_companies and latest_funding deliver actionable insights without the need for an API key.

teahose-mcp is a powerful tool designed for accessing live AI-company intelligence, specifically tailored for users of Claude. This repository aggregates valuable data from the Teahose intel graph, offering insights into funding signals, lookalike company searches, and trends emerging within the AI landscape. No API key is required to begin using the tool, although a free key enhances the experience with higher rate limits and daily email alerts.

Key Features

Tools

Tool	Description
`find_companies`	Execute a vector search across the Teahose AI-company graph by providing a competitor URL or a plain-text description to discover similar companies accompanied by similarity scores.
`who_is_talking_about`	Discover what operators, VCs, and newsletters are saying about specific companies, including mentions from podcasts and newsletters with source details and episode information.
`latest_funding`	Access fresh funding rounds across the AI ecosystem, showcasing amounts, rounds, investors, and dates, with optional theme filtering.
`check_companies`	Batch-check a list of company names (such as portfolio entries or CRM lists) to monitor recent signaling over the last 7 or 30 days.
`emerging_themes`	Identify AI market themes using machine-discovery techniques, ranked based on emerging signals over a 7-day period.
`get_company`	Retrieve detailed profiles of AI companies, including operational insights, sector classification, themes, and recent funding, product, hiring, or mention signals.
`watch_company`	Subscribe to receive daily email alerts whenever any watched company generates new signals. A free API key is required for this feature.

Security & Privacy

This application functions as a lightweight, read-only HTTP client with a strong focus on security and user privacy. The following safeguards are implemented:

Access to only the Teahose API while making no other outbound requests.
No interactions with the local filesystem; therefore, no associated security risks.
Does not execute dynamic code or provide telemetry beyond required API calls.
The only credential used is the optional TEAHOSE_API_KEY, which maximizes security by limiting exposure to the Teahose API.

Free Tier and Key Benefits
