Sieve MCP Server

From company name to investment decision. Sieve scores startups across 7 dimensions so you know who's worth a meeting.

An MCP server that brings AI-powered startup due diligence into Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, and any MCP-compatible assistant. Screen any startup, get a quantified Sieve Score (0-140), and a clear Take Meeting / Pass recommendation.

Quick Start

Claude Desktop

Add to your claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "sieve": {
      "command": "uvx",

      "env": {
        "SIEVE_API_KEY": "your-api-key"
      }
    }
  }
}

Claude Code

claude mcp add sieve -- uvx sieve-mcp

Then set your API key in the environment:

export SIEVE_API_KEY="your-api-key"

Example Usage

A typical workflow in any MCP-compatible AI assistant:

   "Run a Sieve screen on Acme Corp at acme.com"

2. Poll for progress (analysis takes 2-5 minutes):

   "Check the status of that Sieve analysis"

3. Get results:

   "Show me the Sieve summary for that analysis"

4. Check usage:

   "How many Sieve screens do I have left this month?"
