Taghash launches AI-integrated MCP Server for VC and PE firms

Snippets Taghash launches AI-integrated MCP Server for VC and PE firms Taghash, a SaaS platform that powers venture capital, private equity, and family office workflows, has launched its new Venture Capital MCP Server, a first of its kind integration that enables AI agents to securely access and interact with live fund data. The MCP (Model Context Protocol) Server acts as a secure bridge between AI copilots like OpenAI, Claude, and Microsoft Copilot, and internal fund operations. It allows firms to query, analyze, and act on real time data across deal flow, CRM, MIS, LP engagement, and portfolio tracking. Taghash counts over 60 firms as clients, including Blume Ventures, A91 Partners, Elevar Equity, and 360.one. With this launch, these users can now connect their workflows directly to AI systems without risking data leaks or hallucinations, as the server operates entirely within existing login and role based access controls. Clients can deploy the MCP Server in minutes using Node.js. The integration supports structured data entry, automated report generation, and smart insights while eliminating the need for third party plugins or manual processes. The platform has been built with enterprise grade compliance including SOC 2 certification, short lived tokens, and explicit consent for AI driven changes. According to Blume Ventures and Avaana Capital, the system has significantly improved data handling and AI reliability. Taghash aims to become a full stack operating system for investment teams, and the MCP Server is a key step toward that vision. It enables faster, safer, and more intelligent decision making powered by governed AI. The company is also offering prebuilt templates and prompt libraries for immediate adoption.

SaaS startup Scalekit raises $5.5 Mn in seed round led by Together Fund and Z47

SaaS startup Scalekit has raised $5.5 million in a seed round led by Together Fund and Z47, with participation from angel investors including Adam Frankl, Oliver Jay, and Jagadeesh Kunda. Founded by Satya Devarakonda and a team of ex-Freshworks engineers, Scalekit offers modular, drop-in infrastructure for SaaS and AI-first teams. Products include MCP Auth for agentic servers, Agent Actions for secure API calls with consent and revocation, and modern human authentication with enterprise features like SSO and SCIM. Unlike monolithic solutions like Auth0, Scalekit’s à-la-carte approach lets developers adopt only what they need. The founding team previously developed Freshworks’ in-house auth platform, now used by over 50,000 businesses and 2 million users, and saw firsthand how painful it was for SaaS teams to deliver secure, enterprise-ready authentication. The firm is building the authentication and actions layer for AI-native applications. With protocols like the Model Context Protocol (MCP), applications are exposing functionality directly to agents, breaking traditional identity systems designed for humans. Scalekit is now building the authentication foundation for the agentic era. Already used by startups such as Hubbl, Sifthub, Fello, Unstract, Tiphaus, and Aerchain, Scalekit helps teams move agentic workflows from prototypes to production.
