Global Database

Global Database — MCP Server

Remote MCP server that gives LLM agents access to Global Database: company profiles, financials, ownership, digital insights, people search and contact enrichment, prospecting, and KYB/compliance lookups against official government registries.

Hosted at https://mcp.globaldatabase.com/mcp (Streamable HTTP). Nothing to install or run — you connect to it and sign in with your Global Database API key through the browser.

Install

Cursor

Add to ~/.cursor/mcp.json (global) or .cursor/mcp.json (per project):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "global-database": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.globaldatabase.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport http global-database https://mcp.globaldatabase.com/mcp

Or install the plugin, which adds the server and the company-due-diligence skill:

/plugin marketplace add global-database/mcp-server
/plugin install global-database@global-database

VS Code (GitHub Copilot)

Use the Install server badge above, or add it from the terminal:

code --add-mcp '{"name":"global-database","type":"http","url":"https://mcp.globaldatabase.com/mcp"}'

Gemini CLI

Install the bundled extension straight from this repo:

gemini extensions install https://github.com/global-database/mcp-server

Or add the server to settings.json by hand:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "global-database": {
      "httpUrl": "https://mcp.globaldatabase.com/mcp",
      "authProviderType": "dynamic_discovery"
    }
  }
}

Perplexity

Requires a paid plan (custom connectors are a Pro/Enterprise feature). In Settings → Connectors → + Custom connector → Remote, enter:

Field	Value
Name	Global Database
MCP Server URL	https://mcp.globaldatabase.com/mcp
Authentication	OAuth
Transport	Streamable HTTP

Then open the connector card to run the OAuth sign-in.

Grok

At grok.com/connectors → New Connector → Custom, enter the MCP server URL https://mcp.globaldatabase.com/mcp and complete the OAuth sign-in. Grok discovers the tools from the live endpoint.

Microsoft Copilot Studio

In your agent → Tools → Add a tool → Model Context Protocol → New MCP server, enter the server URL https://mcp.globaldatabase.com/mcp and pick OAuth 2.0 with dynamic registration / discovery. Leave Scope empty — the server publishes no scopes, and a non-empty one fails the token request.

Copilot Studio ignores the MCP instructions field, so the agent starts without the routing rules every other client receives. Paste copilot-studio-instructions.md into Agent → Overview → Instructions after the connection is created.

Claude.ai / other MCP clients

Add a custom connector pointing at https://mcp.globaldatabase.com/mcp.

Authentication

OAuth 2.1 with PKCE and Dynamic Client Registration — the client registers itself, so there is nothing to configure. On first connect your browser opens a Global Database login page where you paste your API key; the key is held in the access-token claims server-side and is never passed as a tool argument.

Get an API key at globaldatabase.com.

Tools

Tool	What it does

Resources and prompts

Beyond tools, the server exposes MCP resources so a client can load reference data once per conversation instead of spending a tool call (and credits) on it:

Resource	Contents
gdb://nomenclature/country	Country list for the prospecting location filter.
gdb://nomenclature/kyb-countries	Country list for kyb_search.
gdb://nomenclature/company-status	Company status values for prospecting.
gdb://nomenclature/department	Department ids for search_employees.
gdb://nomenclature/seniority	Seniority ids for search_employees.
gdb://docs/prospecting-filters	Full prospecting filter catalog — field names and value formats.
gdb://docs/intent-glossary	Keyword → tool glossary for routing a request.

Larger, hierarchical nomenclatures (NACE, ISIC, SIC, industry focus, region) stay behind the get_nomenclature tool and its search parameter.

Prompts shipped with the server: company_research, due_diligence, lead_generation, competitor_analysis, market_research.

Plugins and skill

The same contents ship as a plugin for both Cursor (.cursor-plugin/plugin.json) and Claude Code (.claude-plugin/marketplace.json), so the server can be installed from a marketplace instead of being wired up by hand. Each plugin bundles:

• the remote MCP server above (all tools), and
• a company-due-diligence skill that walks the agent through a structured KYB review — resolve the entity, then pull registry details, officers, shareholders, group structure and financials into one dossier.

About this repository

Distribution metadata only (server.json, .mcp.json, plugin.json, .claude-plugin/, .cursor-plugin/, gemini-extension.json) so MCP directories and clients can discover the hosted server, plus the client-side extras that ship with it — the company-due-diligence skill and the Copilot Studio instruction block. MIT covers this metadata; the server implementation and the Global Database API are not open source.
