Security note

MCP servers receive tool arguments from a conversation and may perform external actions. Review what a server can do before you enable it, and give it only the access it needs.

The registry verified that this server's namespace belongs to modevc.com, which also runs its endpoint. That identifies the publisher; it does not make the server's tools safe.

SourceWeft's checks cover whether the listing is complete and the endpoint answered; they do not review the server's code or what its tools do.

Overview

AI-generated overview

Scores startup distribution moats and returns Mode VC's published chart data and investment thesis for early-stage valuation context.

What you can do: Score distribution defensibility from 1 to 5 based on the acquisition channels you list and whether you have proprietary data or network effects.
Look up a Chart of the Day by slug or title and get its data table, claim, takeaway, note and cited sources.
Retrieve Mode VC's published investment parameters: ticket size, geography, stage, core conviction and how to pitch.
When to use it: Useful when discussing early-stage startup strategy, comparing distribution defensibility, or grounding a pre-seed valuation conversation in Mode VC's published charts and thesis. It is a discussion aid, not a valuation or investment recommendation.
Requirements: Remote streamable HTTP endpoint at modevc.com; no packages, environment variables, headers or authentication declared.

Before you install

The moat score is a rule-based discussion aid built from Mode VC's published thesis, not a valuation or investment decision; the business_model input is echoed back and does not change the score. Chart data is as published and should be checked against the cited source URLs.

Installation

In SourceWeft

Open Mode VC Startup Distribution Moat & Valuation Benchmarks in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Web executable via Streamable HTTP. Remote servers run from the web runtime once configured in a workspace.

Use with an agent

Paste this prompt into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or another agent — or into SourceWeft chat. The agent reads this server's install guide, shows you its publisher, endpoint and sign-in, and adds it to your client once you agree. Keys never go into a command.

Read https://sourceweft.com/mcp/com.modevc%2Fvaluation-benchmarks/install.md and connect the MCP server it describes to my client. Before changing any config, show me its publisher, endpoint and sign-in method and wait for my OK. Never put an API key in a command or in a file I would commit; ask me where it should come from.

Read the install guide the agent follows
