Crunchbase

Crunchbase ships a first-party REMOTE MCP server at https://mcp.crunchbase.com over Streamable HTTP, authenticated with OAuth 2.1 + PKCE against the user's own Crunchbase account. It is not a wrapper over a slice of the REST API: Crunchbase states that everything available through the Data API is available through MCP, plus expert (natural-language) tools and list write operations that have no REST equivalent. Access is sold per workspace and assigned per user as an "MCP seat"; an MCP seat carries Crunchbase's highest level of data access, including predictions and insights.

One-click install for Cursor, VS Code, Claude, and 20+ other MCP clients, powered by API Commons MCP Install — visit install.apicommons.org for more information.

Connect

This is a remote MCP server — point an MCP client at the endpoint URL. Clients with native remote support (Claude, Cursor, VS Code, …):

# mcp client config (e.g. .mcp.json / mcp settings) { "mcpServers": { "crunchbase-data": { "url": "https://mcp.crunchbase.com" } } }

For stdio-only clients (older Claude Desktop, etc.), bridge with mcp-remote:

# Add to claude_desktop_config.json { "mcpServers": { "crunchbase-data": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "mcp-remote", "https://mcp.crunchbase.com"] } } }

If the server requires authentication, add the provider's token/header (e.g. an X-API-Key) per its docs. A quick reachability check:

curl -i -X POST https://mcp.crunchbase.com \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "Accept: application/json, text/event-stream" \ -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/list"}'

About MCP

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open protocol Anthropic introduced for connecting LLM-based agents to external tools and data sources. Providers publish MCP servers that expose their API surface as structured, discoverable tools — an MCP-compatible client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Cline, Continue, etc.) can connect to the server and call its tools without any per-provider integration code.
