Question 1

What is Dormy?

Accepted Answer

Dormy is an AI-powered fundraising copilot for founders, exposed as both an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server and a CLI tool. It integrates into your agent stack (Claude Code, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client) to provide curated investor intelligence, warm-intro paths, and proactive growth opportunities.

Question 2

Who is Dormy for?

Accepted Answer

Founders and solo entrepreneurs raising pre-seed to Series A capital. Especially useful for technical builders and lean teams (2 to 5 people) who use AI agents daily and want data-driven investor intelligence without hiring a fundraising consultant.

Question 3

How do I install Dormy?

Accepted Answer

Sign in at https://heydormy.ai with email OTP (no password). New accounts get $5 free credits. Then on /console/install copy the command `claude mcp add dormy --transport http https://mcp.heydormy.ai/mcp` and paste it in your terminal. The first tool call opens a browser tab to approve the OAuth connection — you're already signed in, so it's a one-click Approve. No API key required in the install command. For Telegram bot access, DM @dormyaibot directly with /start.

Question 4

Does Dormy cost money?

Accepted Answer

New accounts get $5 free credits — enough for roughly 100 cheap-tier tool calls or 30 premium-tier (Claude Sonnet, Gemini Pro) calls. After that, top up from /console/billing via Stripe. Cheap-tier calls run ~$0.005 each, deep-reasoning calls ~$0.05. Power users can paste their own OpenRouter API key in /console/settings to bypass Dormy's per-token markup; you'd pay OpenRouter directly and Dormy charges nothing for that path.

Question 5

What API keys do I need?

Accepted Answer

None to start. The MCP install command no longer requires an API key — Dormy uses OAuth 2.1 (authorization_code + PKCE) for MCP authentication. Sign in once via email OTP, click Approve in the consent screen the first time your agent calls a tool, and you're connected. Optionally, you can add your own OpenRouter API key in /console/settings to pay OpenRouter directly instead of buying Dormy credits.

Question 6

How long does setup take?

Accepted Answer

Connect your workspace (Slack or Telegram) in about 2 minutes. Train Dormy on your context in roughly 15 minutes, or one founder call. Then Dormy starts working proactively.

Question 7

Can I use Dormy without Claude Code or Cursor?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Request access to the Dormy Telegram bot via the contact form on https://heydormy.ai/#get-in-touch; once approved you'll receive a one-time invite link. Or connect to the same MCP server from any MCP-compatible client using URL https://mcp.heydormy.ai/mcp.
