Crunchbase documentation

What it does

A private-company database covering company profiles, funding rounds, investors, people and acquisitions, sold as a web product, a REST API and, since 2026, a first-party MCP server that exposes the same data to AI assistants.

Access and connection

MCP support: official

Access requirements: enterprise-only - the vendor's own MCP overview states "MCP is purchased per workspace and access is assigned per user as an MCP seat by your workspace admin" and directs new buyers to "contact your account team to add MCP to your workspace"; the Crunchbase API product page publishes no price and every call to action on it is "Talk to Sales". Crunchbase Pro is separately self-serve, but a Pro subscription is not stated to include an MCP seat.

Authentication: OAuth 2.1. The user signs in with their normal Crunchbase account in the AI client's browser flow; Crunchbase then checks that the account holds an MCP seat before the connection completes.
