CB Insights (CB Information Services, Inc.) is a New York-based private-market intelligence platform covering 12M+ private and public company profiles, funding deals, cap tables, M&A and IPO exits, business relationships, management and board data, and proprietary predictive scores (Mosaic, Commercial Maturity, Exit Probability, Competitor Score). The company exposes that data programmatically through the CB Insights API v2 — a token-authenticated REST API at api.cbinsights.com documented with a published Swagger 2.0 contract of 28 operations across Firmographics, Financial Transactions, Business Relationships, Management & Board, Outlook, Revenue, Strategy Map, Scouting Reports and the ChatCBI research LLM — plus a maintenance-mode v1 REST API, a hosted OAuth-protected MCP server at mcp.cbinsights.com listed in Claude, ChatGPT, Perplexity and Microsoft Copilot connector directories, a Snowflake Marketplace data share with Semantic Views and a Cortex Knowledge Extension, and Salesforce and Microsoft 365 Copilot connectors. Access is credit-metered and credential-gated: clientId/clientSecret are issued by CB Insights, exchanged for a 24-hour bearer token, and every data call debits an account credit ledger.
