What Crunchbase does

Trusted private market intelligence, right inside your conversation.

Crunchbase MCP brings private market data and predictive signals into the AI tools and agents you already use. Built for investors, go-to-market teams, product builders, and anyone else who needs answers, not just search results.

Ask in plain English. No code, no technical training. The MCP figures out the filters, fields, and connections you might not have known to ask for, and returns a complete, sourced answer. Most other MCP servers only offer raw search and list data.

Supercharge your workflow. Identify high-growth companies, run diligence in seconds, and act on opportunities before other firms catch on, or give your customers foresight into market movements directly in your product, without the engineering lift.

Build lists you can return to. Save companies as you find them. A search today becomes a pipeline you monitor over time.

Predictions you can act on. Forecasts of what a company is likely to do next such as: funding, acquisition, IPO, growth, shutdown, or headcount cuts, plus an estimated current valuation. Every prediction carries a confidence tier, so you can rank an entire market by likelihood instead of reading profiles one at a time. Powered by 15M+ predictions refreshed weekly.

Why Crunchbase? The only dataset combining the aggregated activity of 80M users, 1,000+ public sources, and 600k+ data team members, VC partners, and subject-matter experts.

What Crunchbase can access

The official listing names no Read or Write capability for Crunchbase. Check what it asks for when you add it, and connect only the accounts you want it to use.

Before you connect it

OpenAI’s plugin pages note that a connected plugin may receive relevant parts of your chats to answer a request, and that Crunchbase’s own terms and privacy policy then cover that data. You can disconnect a plugin later in ChatGPT’s settings. Read the privacy policy (about.crunchbase.com) and terms (about.crunchbase.com).
