StartupHub.ai MCP: funding rounds and investors in your AI app

Search AI startups and investors, check funding rounds and find contact emails, all from Claude or ChatGPT. StartupHub.ai's MCP server also runs agent-readiness checks and needs no API key. ContextGate connects it to your AI apps, and email discovery can be switched off if your team only researches companies.
