AI agents overview

FounderSync runs an MCP server (Model Context Protocol) that lets an AI agent work in your startup workspace. You add the server URL to your AI tool, sign in to FounderSync, approve access once, and the agent can then read your data and, if you allow it, change it.

The agent acts as you. It sees the startups you belong to and nothing else, and changes it makes to your startup are recorded. Read security and access for how that works.

What an agent can do#

The server exposes more than 120 tools. The full list is in the tools reference. They cover these areas:

• Workspace, team and inbox: your startups, an overview of each one, the team, cofounder invitations, notifications, settings and profile.
• Idea: the structured startup idea, how complete it is, and supporting documents such as a one-pager.
• PRD and roadmap: the product requirements document and the roadmap derived from it.
• Launch: the launch checklist, its progress and the next steps.
• Tasks: the board, with status, priority, owners, deadlines, comments and time.
• Contributions: who did what, and how that compares with the equity each founder holds.
• Vault: the document register, and text documents the agent can create and read.
• Agreement: the cofounder agreement sections and the review requests raised by changes.
• Cap table: share classes, stakeholders, grants, option pool, SAFEs and notes, and 409A valuations.
• Modeling: priced-round scenarios, dilution, exit waterfalls and vesting.

Two endpoints#

Use the read-only URL when you want an agent to analyze or summarize without any chance of changing data. You can connect both, with different names, and pick per conversation.

How sign-in works#

You do not create an API key. When you add the URL, your AI tool discovers FounderSync's sign-in and sends you to a FounderSync consent screen at https://foundersync.io/oauth/consent. It names the agent, lists what it can and cannot do, and has Allow access and Deny buttons. After you approve, the tool receives a token for your account. The sign-in is standard OAuth 2.1, handled by Supabase Auth.

Settings, AI Agents in the app shows both URLs with copy buttons and the recent changes agents made.

What to try first#

Connect your agent with one of the guides, then ask it:

• "Who am I in FounderSync, and what startups do I have?"
• "Give me an overview of my startup: what is complete and what is missing?"
• "What tasks are overdue or blocked?"

Once that works, try a guided setup. The server offers ready-made prompts such as setting up a startup from an idea; see prompts and resources.
