Toolsuite

A remote Model Context Protocol server that connects AI assistants to a user's Startup Ignition ToolSuite account. ToolSuite is a startup idea validation platform used by founders, accelerators and university entrepreneurship programs.

This repository holds the registry metadata and documentation. The server itself is hosted by Startup Ignition.

Server address	https://mcp.startupignition.com/mcp
Transport	Streamable HTTP
Authentication	OAuth 2.1 with PKCE (dynamic client registration and client ID metadata documents supported)
Registry name	com.startupignition/toolsuite
Setup guide	https://www.startupignition.com/toolsuite/connect/

What it does

With a user's permission the connector lets an assistant:

• Read everything on the user's idea pages: idea analysis, Big Idea Canvas, business model canvas, customer personas, riskiest assumptions, interview scripts, interview findings (participants' identities removed), mentor conversations and version history.
• Run the Startup Ignition validation steps: Idea Analysis, Big Idea Canvas, Business Model Canvas, Identify Assumptions, Interview Scripts, Wow! Factor Analysis, Market Research and Founder-Idea Fit, and ask the Startup Ignition mentor a question.
• Edit canvas answers, canvas items, assumptions, personas, journey steps and storyboards. Every edit is recorded in the idea's history and can be undone.
• Export any tool page as a PDF or a picture.

62 tools in all. Every tool carries a title and a readOnlyHint or destructiveHint annotation. Run tools spend the workspace's ToolSuite credits within a daily limit the user sets when connecting; the connector never sells credits or links to billing.

How to configure

1. Add the server to your client. In VS Code: Command Palette → MCP: Add Server → HTTP → https://mcp.startupignition.com/mcp. Other clients are covered step by step in the setup guide.
2. Start the server. Your browser opens the ToolSuite sign-in page.
3. Sign in, choose the workspaces the assistant may use, the permissions (read, run tools, edit) and a daily usage limit, and click Approve.

No API key or client secret is needed. A ToolSuite account is required; free accounts can connect.

How to use

Ask the assistant about your ideas by name:

• "Give me an overview of my idea in ToolSuite and what to do next."
• "Identify the riskiest assumptions behind my idea and draft the interview scripts."
• "Ask the Startup Ignition mentor which customer segment I should interview first."
• "Show me my business model canvas as a picture."
• "What did the customer interviews say about pricing?"

Disconnecting and privacy

Disconnect at any time in ToolSuite under Settings → AI assistants & MCP. Changing your password disconnects every app. Interview participants' names, contact details and interview links are never passed to the assistant.
