Integrations

Validate before your build agent scaffolds a line of code.

Trigvale ships an MCP server (@trigvale/mcp) that exposes the validation endpoint to any MCP-aware build agent. Wire it into Cursor, Claude Code, Codex, or ChatGPT-with-MCP and the agent can call validate_idea on a raw founder idea before generating a project skeleton.

1. Issue an agent token

Agent tokens are available on the Integrate plan. Issue and revoke them in Settings. Token format is tv_…; the plaintext is shown exactly once at issue time. Treat it like a password.

2. Drop the MCP config into your agent

Same JSON shape across every MCP-aware client. The transport is stdio; no daemon, no port. Your agent runs npx -y @trigvale/mcp on first tool call.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "trigvale": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@trigvale/mcp"],
      "env": {
        "TRIGVALE_AGENT_TOKEN": "tv_..."
      }
    }
  }
}

Where the config goes, by client:

3. Tell the agent to use it

The MCP server exposes one tool today: validate_idea(rawIdea, save?). A minimal system-prompt nudge that flips the behaviour on:

Before scaffolding a new project from a founder idea, call
trigvale.validate_idea(rawIdea). Show the verdict + the dominant
archetype's structural cautions to the user. Only proceed with
scaffolding if the user confirms after reading them.

What gets returned

• — A 10-dimension Venture Readiness Score (0–100) with per-dimension breakdown.
• — An evidence brief with each item tagged observed | inferred | missing | ai | user-claim.
• — A deterministic kill / pivot / test / build verdict.Build is rare by construction.
• — Founder-fit calibration deltas if the user has a skill graph on file (re-weights founder-fit, reachability, and execution-complexity dimensions deterministically from declared inputs).
• — 1–3 archetype assignments with structural cautions for the dominant archetype.
• — A vault deep link if save was true (default).

What we don't claim

Trigvale exposes assumptions; it does not predict outcomes. The rubric score is one term in a noisy equation dominated by execution, marketing, distribution, timing, and luck. See methodology for the full stance.
