Data Flow

1. collect_profile — Scrapes LinkedIn + Twitter via Apify → merges data → generates embedding → stores in Supabase
2. analyze_profile — Fetches stored profile → calls Groq LLM for strategic analysis → caches result
3. fetch_personalized_news — Checks cache freshness → if stale: generates search queries → scrapes Google News → embeds articles → ranks by cosine similarity → summarizes with Groq → stores; if fresh: returns cached articles

Caching & Cost Optimization

The fetch_history table tracks last_profile_scrape and last_news_fetch timestamps. The staleCheck.js module compares these against configurable thresholds.

Setup

1. Prerequisites

• Node.js 20+
• Supabase project (with pgvector enabled)
• API keys: Apify, Groq, OpenAI-compatible Embeddings

2. Install

cd /Users/praveenkumar/Desktop/mcp
cp .env.example .env
# Edit .env with your real keys
npm install

3. Database

Run the migration against your Supabase SQL Editor:

-- Paste contents of migrations/001_init.sql

Or via psql:

psql $DATABASE_URL < migrations/001_init.sql

4. Run MCP Server

node src/index.js

5. Configure MCP Client

Add to your MCP client config (e.g., Claude Desktop claude_desktop_config.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "founder-intelligence": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/Users/praveenkumar/Desktop/mcp/src/index.js"],
      "env": {
        "SUPABASE_URL": "...",
        "SUPABASE_SERVICE_KEY": "...",
        "APIFY_API_TOKEN": "...",
        "GROQ_API_KEY": "...",
        "EMBEDDING_API_URL": "...",
        "EMBEDDING_API_KEY": "..."
      }
    }
  }
}

6. Background Worker (Optional)

# Single run (for cron)
node src/backgroundWorker.js

# Daemon mode
BACKGROUND_LOOP=true node src/backgroundWorker.js

Cron example (every 6 hours):

0 */6 * * * cd /app && node src/backgroundWorker.js >> /var/log/worker.log 2>&1
