Use the live data without a dashboard
The weekly table above is generated from the same public endpoint. Here is a direct shell check:
curl -s https://signals.gitdealflow.com/api/signals.json \
| jq '.trending[:3] | map({name, signalType, commitVelocityChange})'
For an AI client, run the MCP server locally:
{"mcpServers":{"vc-deal-flow-signal":{"command":"npx","args":["-y","@gitdealflow/mcp-signal"]}}}
Then ask: "Which startups are accelerating fastest this week?" Both examples read the live public dataset. They do not make a funding prediction.
