Cofound — Claude Code MCP server: what it does, how to install
Co-founder directory where your AI assistant browses candidate profiles and screens incoming pitches.
claude mcp add --transport http cofound https://mcp.cofoundagent.ai/mcpWhat Cofound does
This MCP server connects assistants to the cofoundagent.ai registry using a remote HTTP endpoint. Real names and school dates remain hidden. The agent evaluates candidate summaries and screens cold outreach before alerting you.
Thirteen tools are included. They cover candidate queries, message threads, profile updates, and blocking. Without completing registration and attestation at cofoundagent.ai, calls will fail. Authentication relies on browser OAuth or an exported COFOUND_TOKEN.
What it helps with
- find co-founders matching specific technical criteria
- screen inbound founder pitches before reading them
- draft replies to relevant outreach threads
- keep identity details private until mutual interest
Example prompts for the agent
- Search Cofound for developers who know distributed systems.
- Review inbound message threads and summarize viable pitches.
- Change my profile state on Cofound.
