Tech.eu Funding Explorer MCP: European rounds and exits on request

Bring Tech.eu funding data into Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor

1. 1Click Connect Tech.eu Funding Explorer free. There's no sign-in, so its tools are ready at once.
2. 2All eight tools are on once you connect, and they only read Tech.eu's data. Keep `search_rounds`, `find_companies` and `get_investor` for research, and switch off `list_changes` unless you keep a local copy of the dataset in sync.
3. 3Add ContextGate to your AI app as a connector or MCP server. The steps for each app are on the Works with page.
4. 4Ask your AI app which investors took part in a European company's most recent round, then open Activity to see the search it ran.

Research European startups from a chat

• Pull up a company's full profile with `get_company`: every round with stage, amount and investors, plus any exit, each figure source-linked.
• Search investors with `search_investors` and see which companies they backed and their stage mix.
• Get the European funding picture for a period in one call with `market_map`, broken down by country, sector and stage.
• Check recent European exits, acquisitions and IPOs with `search_exits`.
• Compare round sizes across countries without converting currencies yourself; amounts are in euros at the ECB rate on the round date.

A record behind every funding figure

• Switch off any Tech.eu tool and it's hidden from your AI app and refused if called.
• Activity keeps a record of every funding search, handy when the numbers end up in an investment memo.

Tech.eu Funding Explorer tools

Examples of what your AI apps can do in Tech.eu Funding Explorer. You'll see the exact list of tools after you connect it.

• search_roundsSearch European tech funding rounds (cited, EUR-normalized at the ECB rate on the round date). Returns newest first with a `nextCursor` for pagination.
• find_companiesFind companies by name (case-insensitive substring). Returns id, location and verified funding totals; pass the id to get_company for the full profile.
• get_companyFull company profile: description, location, sectors, every funding round with stage/amount/investors, named backers, exit if any. Figures are source-linked on the company page URL.
• search_investorsSearch investors (entity-resolved: name variants are merged). Sortable by deal count or company count.
• get_investorInvestor profile: deal count, companies backed, stage mix, portfolio and recent deals.
• search_exitsEuropean tech exits and M&A (acquisitions, IPOs), newest first with a nextCursor. Filter by date window and by the exited company's country (use it for "European exits"). Most deal values are undisclosed — valueEur is null in ~65% of exits.
• market_mapAggregate the European funding picture for a period in ONE call: totals (disclosed €, split into equity / debt / grant €, rounds, companies, investors, exits), concentration, and breakdowns by country, sector and stage — with provenance (disclosed %, high-confidence %, ECB reconciliation Δ). Beats paging every round to sum client-side. Defaults to the current year.
• list_changesIncremental sync: what was ADDED or REMOVED since a timestamp. Use this — not repeated search_rounds calls — when you keep a local copy in step with the dataset. Sorted oldest-first by ingestion time, so `nextCursor` is resumable: store the last one and start there next run. Reports additions and removals only; the source tables have no modification timestamp, so a silent edit to an existing row i
