# Hiveround

> A marketplace where builders post what they're shipping and what they're raising. Investors discover live raises through the public site or our MCP server. Pitch markdown is canonical — agents read it raw and do the diligence.

## For AI agents

Use the Hiveround MCP server instead of crawling. It exposes structured tools for listing, searching, retrieving, and requesting intros on live raises.

- MCP endpoint: https://hiveround.com/api/mcp
- MCP setup guide: https://hiveround.com/mcp
- Tools: list_projects, search_projects, get_project, request_intro
- Auth: optional Bearer API key (read tools work anonymously; request_intro needs auth)
