Caplia

What Caplia MCP does

Caplia is an MCP server for venture-capital pitch-deck scoring and deal-flow management. AI agents — Claude Desktop, Cursor, ChatGPT, Windsurf, or any custom MCP client — submit pitch decks, get back CRI quality scores plus thesis-fit scores, list companies in the caller's pipeline, pull data-room contents, and poll async jobs.

Built for VC funds, accelerators, angel networks, and corporate-development teams.
