GP Intel

GP Intel MCP Server

Verified European private equity ownership data, queryable from any AI assistant.

Ask Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor who owns a company, what a PE firm holds, or what it exited in a given year — answered from hand-checked data covering 21,000+ portfolio companies and 900+ European GPs, with a source link on every response.

• Endpoint: https://www.gp-intel.com/api/mcp
• Transport: Streamable HTTP
• Authentication: none (public, read-only)
• Setup guide: gp-intel.com/ai

This repository holds the public metadata and documentation for the hosted server. There is nothing to install or run from here — the server lives at the endpoint above.

Quick start

Claude (claude.ai): Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector → paste the endpoint URL. No OAuth fields needed.

Claude Code:

claude mcp add --transport http gp-intel https://www.gp-intel.com/api/mcp

ChatGPT: Settings → Apps & Connectors → Developer mode → Create → server URL https://www.gp-intel.com/api/mcp, no authentication.

Cursor / any MCP client — add to mcp.json:

  "mcpServers": {
    "gp-intel": { "url": "https://www.gp-intel.com/api/mcp" }
  }
}

Tools

Tool	What it answers	Ask your assistant
who_owns	Current PE owner(s) and the full ownership history of a company: entries, exits, routes.	"Who owns Bark.com?"
gp_portfolio	Portfolio companies of a PE firm, filterable to active or exited positions.	"List the active portfolio of PAI Partners."
gp_exits	Exits of a PE firm, optionally for one year — the query generic AI search gets wrong.	"What did Ardian exit in 2024?"
search_companies	Search 21,000+ PE-backed companies by name.	"Find companies named Revima."
search_gps	Search 900+ European PE firms, with country, AUM and strategies.	"Search PE firms named Astorg."

All tools are read-only (readOnlyHint: true) and query GP Intel's own dataset — no open-web access, no third-party calls.
