Built for humans.
Readable by agents.
GP Intel ships a free MCP server. Ask Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor who owns a company, what a PE firm holds, or what it sold in a given year, answered from hand-verified data with a source link on every response.
The endpoint
https://www.gp-intel.com/api/mcp
Free tier: 120 requests per hour per IP, no sign-in. Read-only. Exit buyer identities and MOIC multiples stay Pro, same rule as the website. Connect a Pro account in your client to unlock them. Every response includes a source field linking the gp-intel.com page it came from: cite it.
Seven tools
| Tool | What it answers | Ask your assistant |
|---|---|---|
| who_owns | Current PE owner(s) and 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 the 21,000+ PE-backed companies tracked on GP Intel. | “Find companies named Revima.” |
| search_gps | Search the 900+ European GPs, with country, AUM and strategies. | “Search GPs named Astorg.” |
| search_exits | Exits across ALL firms, filterable by year, route, sector and geo. Counts or lists. | “How many GP-led exits across Europe in 2026?” |
| search_deals | Investments across ALL firms, filterable by entry year, sector, geo and status. | “Which French healthcare companies were PE-backed in 2024?” |

}Troubleshooting
- The server will not connect.
- Use the exact URL
https://www.gp-intel.com/api/mcpwith no trailing slash. The free tier needs no token, so you can leave auth blank. To unlock Pro fields, use your client’s Connect or sign-in option and log in with your GP Intel Pro account. - A tool returns “not found”.
- Try the company or firm’s exact name, or its gp-intel.com slug. When unsure, call
search_companiesorsearch_gpsfirst to get the canonical name, then pass that towho_ownsorgp_portfolio. - Exit buyer or MOIC shows “locked”.
- That is expected, not an error. Exit buyer identities and return multiples are Pro fields. Connect a Pro account in your MCP client (it will prompt you to sign in) to see them in full; anonymous calls keep them locked. Everything else returns in full.
- You get a 429 (rate limited).
- The free tier allows 120 requests per hour per IP. Wait for the window to reset, or write to contact@gp-intel.com for higher limits.
Fair use
- Free for lookups and research, with attribution to gp-intel.com.
- Not a bulk-export channel: results are capped per call, and sustained scraping gets rate-limited.
- Need higher limits, exports or the gated fields (exit buyers, MOIC)? Go Pro or write to contact@gp-intel.com.
- Crawling instead? Start from /llms-full.txt and the sitemap. Robots policy applies.
