No MCP client? Call it directly: GET https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/vc_search_people for the schema, then POST the same URL with its arguments for the data.

Search investing people — partners, principals, associates, scouts, venture partners, fund GPs, angels, syndicate leads — by role, firm, the firm’s sector, the firm’s HQ geography, or name. Returns each person’s current firms and which kinds of contact route they published (email, LinkedIn, X, personal site). Only people in an investing role are included. People and their contact routes come from public sources — the firm’s own site or the person’s own published page — and every route carries the page it was published on and the quoted text showing it. Phone numbers and home addresses are never collected. Anyone can request removal at [email protected].
