Overview

What is Foundersignal?

FounderSignal is an MCP server that connects Claude to curated market intelligence. It lets users ask natural-language questions about SaaS categories, bootstrapped products, underserved niches, and competitive landscapes instead of manually collecting data from multiple sources.

How to use Foundersignal?

Add the server configuration to your MCP client’s mcpServers object using the command npx foundersignal-mcp. Then prompt Claude with market-research questions such as “What SaaS categories are growing fastest right now?” or “Show me bootstrapped products that hit $10K MRR in under a year.”
