## Description
Ask Claude what SaaS ideas are worth building. Aggregates revenue data, growth signals and pain points from AppSumo, TrustMRR, Product Hunt, Indie Hackers, Reddit and more.

## Tools
Capabilities this server exposes over MCP:

- **get_discover_data** — Query FounderSignal's market intelligence database and return all ranked SaaS opportunities scored by revenue proof, competition density, momentum, and build feasibility. Returns structured JSON. Use this first, then write Market Gap / Why Now / Execution Plan narratives for each idea, then call render_report to produce the final HTML artifact.
- **render_report** — Render the final personalized discovery report as a full HTML document. Pass the ideas array from get_discover_data, each augmented with a narrative object containing marketGap, whyNow, and executionPlan (written by you based on the data). Returns an HTML artifact to display directly.
- **market_query** — Query aggregated market intelligence from TrustMRR, AppSumo, Product Hunt, Indie Hackers, Reddit and Google SERP. Returns a ranked text table of SaaS opportunities scored across revenue proof, momentum, entry window, pain intensity and build feasibility.
- **generate_report** — Generate a full HTML market intelligence report with all ranked opportunities.

**Ask Claude what to build. Get ranked opportunities backed by real market data.**

FounderSignal is an MCP server that connects Claude (and any MCP-compatible AI client) to curated market intelligence — revenue figures, growth signals, competition analysis and community pain points aggregated from the platforms founders actually use.

Instead of spending a Saturday copy-pasting data from AppSumo, TrustMRR, Reddit, Google, or Product Hunt into a spreadsheet, you just ask.
