Connect the hosted SV Atlas MCP server at https://svatlas.io/mcp and sign in
with your existing Atlas Google account before using these tools. Never ask
for a password or token in chat. If the server is unavailable or sign-in is
required, explain how to connect and stop; do not invent results. Tool names
may have a client-specific prefix; use the connected server's tool catalog.
Search and product matching use the account's monthly quota; other reads do
not.
For OpenClaw, configure the connection once with
openclaw mcp set svatlas '{"url":"https://svatlas.io/mcp","transport":"streamable-http","auth":"oauth"}',
then openclaw mcp login svatlas. Installing this skill does not connect the
server. Ask before creating or changing outreach lists.

funding rounds with investors, founders, and signals, each with its source.search_people with keywords, program, vertical, location,
or founding-year window.company_updates returns sourced product announcements
for companies on the person's lists.enrich_company or enrich_founder queues a refresh.
Say it was queued; the result appears later, not in this answer.Every fact in Atlas comes from a public page. Quote the source link when you
state a number or a date, and say plainly when Atlas has no data on
something instead of filling the gap. Link companies as
