How this service works
Plain-HTTP twin of the Alion MCP server. Every tool is also a GET/POST endpoint. Send "Authorization: Bearer <key>" (a key from https://alion.io/developers/keys); calls are paid from the account's credits. Or pay a paid tool per call in USDC with x402 (https://x402.org), no account: call it without a key, sign one of the offers in the PAYMENT-REQUIRED header of its 402 and repeat the call with the PAYMENT-SIGNATURE header; or with MPP (https://paymentauth.org): answer a WWW-Authenticate: Payment challenge with Authorization: Payment <credential> (USDC on Base or Solana, a transfer you sign or have sent). Docs: https://alion.io/developers
Output
Returns a JSON object containing the company's name, domain, website, industry, size band, and headquarters location, along with a detailed funding object that includes an array of funding rounds (each with round type, announcement year, amount in USD, and valuation in USD), a list of backers (with their kind such as accelerator or fund, name, batch if applicable, and domain), total rounds count, and total raised in USD.
Example use cases
Startup funding due diligence
“I'm evaluating Anthropic as a potential partner — can you pull up their full funding history, total capital raised, current valuation if available, and list of major investors?”
Competitive landscape funding comparison
“What is the funding background for Plaid? I need the funding rounds they've gone through, how much they raised total, and which VCs or accelerators backed them.”
Investor portfolio research
“I'm trying to find out which startups Y Combinator backed that are in the payment processing space — can you start by pulling funding data for Stripe, including their backers and round history?”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://alion.io/mcp/rest/company_funding?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need structured, machine-readable funding intelligence for a specific company — especially when you have the company's domain or URL for precise identification. Prefer this over general web search when you need normalized, comparable data across funding rounds with consistent fields like round type, USD amounts, and backer classification. It is particularly valuable for due diligence workflows, competitive analysis, or enriching a CRM with investor and funding metadata.
Side effects
- Company not found in Alion database — returns empty or null funding object
- Ambiguous company name matches multiple entities — use domain or URL parameter for precision
- Missing or invalid API key returns 401 Unauthorized
- Insufficient credits returns 402 Payment Required with x402 or MPP payment challenge
- Funding data may be incomplete or outdated for private companies with undisclosed rounds
- Rate limiting or quota exhaustion returns 429 Too Many Requests
