How an investor gets documents today

The vendor remote MCP (beta) and the Zapier and Salesforce integrations serve DocSend account users. Visitors get email-verified links and Space update emails; no visitor API documented. Whether an investor can get API access is not documented.

  • Ask the GP or administrator for delivery. With no investor API on record, the practical route is delivery of notices and reports to a nominated email address, an SFTP folder or a data feed set up by the fund side.
  • MCP server. An MCP server is in beta. The registry has not confirmed that an investor account can connect to it, so check with Dropbox before relying on it.
  • Email notifications. Turn on notifications and route them to a monitored mailbox, so new notices trigger your own processing. See How to automate capital call notices.
  • Manual download. Download documents from the web portal (exports recorded: other formats).
  • Check the terms. The registry has not reviewed the terms for automated access. Read them before automating anything.
