build_route

Returns the review Programscape would show a founder, from what they have said about their company (stage, funding, the tools they use, company type and answers to earlier questions): a short read of what matters at their stage, the programs worth their time now with each one’s standing and the questions that settle it, and what can wait and why. For questions about which startup credits, programs or perks fit a company. A standing is never a statement that the founder qualifies; each amount is that program’s own figure, never a total; no provider is ranked the winner. The result says how the review can be saved.

Parameters1

answers

object

required

The founder’s answers, keyed by question field: the shared questions’ fields or a question a review returned (e.g. "stage": "seed", "funding": ["venture"], "currentProviders": ["aws", "openai"], "companyTypes": ["ai"]). A fact the founder hasn’t given is left out and stays unknown.

Programscape MCP server

Ask your AI assistant which startup credits, programs and perks fit your company, answered from checked records with official sources.

Server URL: https://programscape.com/api/mcp (Streamable HTTP)

Programscape is an independent map of startup credits, programs and perks: cloud and AI credits, accelerator programs and product discounts from AWS, Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure, OpenAI, Anthropic, NVIDIA, Stripe and more. Every record carries its official source and the date it was last checked. Providers can't pay for placement.

This repository holds no server code. Programscape runs the server; this page explains how to connect to it.

`profile_questions`	Returns the questions, with answer options, that shape a review	No
`search_programs`	Searches the catalog of startup credits, programs and discounts	No
`get_program`	Returns one program's record: what it offers, who decides, exclusions, sources and the date checked	No
`compare_programs`	Returns programs that serve the same goal across providers, side by side, with no winner	No
`whats_changed`	Returns what the latest checks against providers' own pages found	No
`save_plan_draft`	Saves a review as a one-day draft and returns a link to keep it on programscape.com	No
`my_plan`	Returns the founder's saved plan	Yes
`update_my_plan`	Saves answers and program choices to the founder's plan. Your assistant asks you before each save	Yes

Searching, comparing and building a review need no account. The first time a plan tool is used, your assistant asks you to sign in to Programscape once, with Google or a one-time email code. There's no password. Sign-in is OAuth 2.1 with dynamic client registration and PKCE. You can disconnect an assistant from Your plan on programscape.com.

What it never does

Say you qualify for a program. The provider decides.
Add amounts into a total. Each figure is that program's own, often an "up to" maximum with conditions.
Pick a winning provider.

Privacy and support

Privacy notice: programscape.com/privacy. The server receives the answers your assistant passes to a tool, never your conversation.
