## FAQ

### What tools are available via the MCP server?

The MCP server includes twelve tools such as list_rounds, search_rounds, get_company, list_trending, mark_seen, list_presets, and tools for company profiles, investors, and news.

### How do I enable MCP on a private deployment?

You must set the MCP_API_KEY environment variable; a password-protected deployment will refuse MCP connections until this key is set.

### Does Fireround require a database setup?

No database setup is required for local use, as the app will run on an embedded Postgres (PGlite) if no DATABASE_URL is provided.
