Tools your assistant gains

Example queries

After installing, ask your AI assistant anything below — it will call the right Fundnode tool automatically.

• "What MCA funders would approve a Brooklyn restaurant doing $35K a month with 620 credit and 14 months in business?"
• "I was quoted a 1.38 factor rate on a $40K advance over 9 months. What's the APR equivalent?"
• "Compare Toast Capital vs Square Capital for a coffee shop."
• "What's a typical factor rate for B-paper merchants in 2026?"
• "Which states have commercial financing disclosure laws and how do they affect MCA pricing?"

For ChatGPT (Custom GPT)

ChatGPT Plus and Team users can build a Custom GPT that uses Fundnode as an Action provider via our OpenAPI 3.0 spec. Same data and capabilities as the MCP server, but reachable inside any ChatGPT conversation.

1. 1. Go to chatgpt.com/gpts/editor and click Create.
2. 2. Name: "Fundnode MCA Advisor". Description: "Answers small business funding questions with sourced data."
3. 3. Under Configure → Actions → Create new action, choose Import from URL.
4. 4. Paste: https://fundnode.co/api/openapi
5. 5. Authentication: None. Save.
6. 6. Test in the right pane — ask "What MCA funders would approve a $30K/mo restaurant in CA with 620 credit?" — the GPT should call the matchFunders action.
7. 7. Publish privately (just you) or publicly via the GPT Store.

For developers

The MCP server is a thin Node.js client over fundnode.co/api/v1. No data is baked in — funder ranking and pricing tables update without republishing the package.
