Overview

AI-generated overview

Local MCP server that lets an assistant query curated SaaS market intelligence and export a ranked opportunity report, currently on sample data.

What you can do
  • Query aggregated market intelligence on SaaS opportunities, revenue benchmarks, growth signals and competition
  • Generate and save a full HTML market intelligence report to disk with ranked opportunities, deep dives and pain points
  • Draw on sources such as TrustMRR, AppSumo, Product Hunt, Indie Hackers, Reddit, Hacker News, G2, Crunchbase, Google Trends and others
When to use it
Useful when you want an assistant to help brainstorm or rank SaaS product ideas and back them with market signals, rather than copy-pasting data from several sites into a spreadsheet. Note that the published version runs on curated sample data, not live data.
Requirements
Runs as a local process over stdio, launched with npx foundersignal-mcp (Node.js) or by cloning the repository and running node index.js. No accounts, API keys or environment variables are declared. Desktop client configuration is needed, for example in the Claude Desktop config file.
Before you install
The README states the full live-data release is still in development and the current version uses curated sample data, so figures should not be treated as real market data. The generate_report tool writes an HTML file to disk. The README promotes a waitlist signup for early access.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Foundersignal in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Desktop only via STDIO. STDIO servers start a local process, so they need the SourceWeft desktop host.

Other MCP clients

Follow the launch instructions in the repository.

Ask Claude what to build. Get ranked opportunities backed by real market data.

FounderSignal is an MCP server that connects Claude (and any MCP-compatible AI client) to curated market intelligence — revenue figures, growth signals, competition analysis and community pain points aggregated from the platforms founders actually use.

Instead of spending a Saturday copy-pasting data from AppSumo, TrustMRR, Reddit, Google, or Product Hunt into a spreadsheet, you just ask.

Score

40% of the applicable checks met

How complete this listing is, computed from the registry entry, the endpoint and public sources. Not a rating of the server and not a statement that it is safe or working today: reachability is a dated check, and no installs or reviews go into the score.

    Keep the endpoint answering the MCP handshake; SourceWeft probes it every 30 days.

  • Auth declared10 pts

    Declare the credential headers in the registry entry, or keep the endpoint answering the probe so its auth can be classified.
