Imagine being able to ask, “Which of my deals had the highest exit multiple?” Or, “What are the most popular sectors among the top 10% of angels this year?” Or even just, “How much did I invest in SaaS startups last quarter?” MCP can help with that.
What Is MCP?
MCP (Model Context Protocol) is a flexible, open protocol for structuring and managing alternative investment data. Signed’s MCP server lets you not only store your own portfolio data, but also surface insights, run analytics, and even compare your activity to the broader angel investing community—all in a standardized way.
Why Use MCP for Portfolio Management?
Traditional portfolio management tools often trap your data in spreadsheets or dashboards. MCP frees your data so you can:
- Query your portfolio: Slice and dice by company, sector, investment round, geography, or time period.
- Benchmark against others: Anonymously compare your deal flow, sector bias, or exit rates against other investors.
- Automate reporting: Generate custom reports—monthly summaries, exit tracking, or IRR calculations—on demand.
- Collaborate: Share portfolio snapshots or due diligence notes with co-investors, all using a common protocol.
Examples: What Can You Do With MCP?
- Find all your investments in AI startups from the past three years.
- List every company in your portfolio that has reached Series B funding.
- Calculate your average check size by sector, or identify which sectors you’re underexposed to.
- See how your portfolio’s DPI compares to the average for your peer group (see Understanding DPI and MOIC).
- Automate a quarterly email that summarizes new investments and follow-ons.
How Does Signed’s MCP Server Fit In?
Signed’s MCP server acts as your data hub. You can export data from AngelList, forward deal emails, or upload spreadsheets—Signed normalizes it all into MCP format. Once your data is on the MCP server, you can:
- Run custom queries directly.
- Use Signed’s dashboards for analysis and visualization.
- Connect with third-party tools or build your own scripts on top of the API.
It's like having a Bloomberg Terminal for your alternative investments—minus the sticker shock.
