From the repository

Set up via OAuth login (npx frontrun-mcp-server --login) or a manual API key from frontrun.vc. After authentication, configure your client using --setup for Claude Desktop or --setup-code for Claude Code. Then ask natural‑language questions such as “What are the trending companies this week?” or “Show me convergence signals.” Frontrun provides 33 tools—all callable automatically by the AI based on your query.

VC follow intelligence for AI agents. Track what top investors follow on X — detect new follows, convergence signals, and trending companies before they're announced.

No API key needed. Log in with your frontrun.vc account:

# Step 1: Log in — opens browser, saves credentials locally npx frontrun-mcp-server --login # Step 2: Auto-configure your client npx frontrun-mcp-server --setup # Claude Desktop npx frontrun-mcp-server --setup-code # Claude Code (uses claude mcp add)

Credentials are saved to~/.frontrun/credentials.json. Other commands:

npx frontrun-mcp-server --status # Check auth status npx frontrun-mcp-server --logout # Clear saved credentials

The server is also hosted athttps://www.frontrun.vc/mcp(streamable HTTP). Point any remote-capable MCP client at it with your API key:

claude mcp add --transport http frontrun https://www.frontrun.vc/mcp --header "Authorization: Bearer sig_your_key_here"

If you prefer to use an API key directly, go tofrontrun.vc→Settings > API Keysand generate a key (starts withsig_).

claude mcp add frontrun -e FRONTRUN_API_KEY=sig_your_key_here --scope user -- npx frontrun-mcp-server

"What's trending in my tracked accounts this week?"

Here are real prompts that work out of the box. Just type them into Claude Code, Claude Desktop, or Cursor.

- "What are the trending companies this week?"
- "Show me what my tracked VCs followed in the last 48 hours"
- "Any convergence signals? Who are multiple VCs following independently?"

- "Tell me everything about @hitdotone — who founded it, what they're building, and who's backing them"
- "Who are the founders of @someproject and what's their background?"
- "What funding has @tempofinance raised?"

- "Find me early-stage DeFi companies that my tracked VCs are following but I'm not tracking yet"
- "What sectors are getting the most attention from VCs right now?"
- "Search for stablecoin startups in the follow graph"

- "Track @a16zcrypto and @paradigm"
- "Show me a16zcrypto's recent follow activity and what sectors they're focused on"
- "Find VCs with similar follow patterns to @multicoin"

- "Create a rule to flag any stablecoin neobank companies"
- "Tag @hitdotone as a portfolio candidate"
- "Show me all entities matching my stablecoin rule from the last 7 days"

Frontrun monitors the X (Twitter) follow graphs of VCs and investors you choose to track. When a VC follows a new account, Frontrun detects it, classifies the entity (startup, protocol, founder, etc.), and makes it queryable through AI.

The signal:VCs typically follow companies 2-8 weeks before a funding announcement. Convergence — multiple VCs independently following the same account — is the strongest signal.

Receipts:@techdollarhq flagged at 13 followers, $3M pre-seed announced 123 days later · @orthogonal_sh flagged 184 days before its $4.3M round led by Pantera · @rialto_xyz flagged at 18 followers, 26 days before its Robinhood partner announcement.

What you're paying for:Every response is computed intelligence, not raw data. Sectors are classified by AI, convergence is detected algorithmically, and company profiles are synthesized from multiple sources.

API + MCP access is included with thePro plan ($99/mo)— it comes with 10,000 credits every month, and you can add more (or turn on auto-refill) at frontrun.vc/api/billing. Each query costs credits:

A typical daily check-in (feed + convergence + a few company deep-dives) runs ~300 credits — an included month covers it more than 30x over. Agent-scale usage is what auto-refill is for.

The agent has access to these tools automatically. You don't need to call them by name — just ask your question and the agent picks the right tool.

Prefer HTTP? Every tool maps to a REST endpoint. Base URL:https://frontrun.vc/v1

# Set your key export FR_KEY="sig_your_key_here" # Check your account curl -sL -H "X-API-Key: $FR_KEY" "https://frontrun.vc/v1/status" # What's trending? curl -sL -H "X-API-Key: $FR_KEY" "https://frontrun.vc/v1/trending?since=168h" # Convergence signals curl -sL -H "X-API-Key: $FR_KEY" "https://frontrun.vc/v1/convergence?since=168h"
