Data & AI access

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

MCP · Streamable HTTP · no auth required

https://www.gp-intel.com/api/mcp

Free tier: 120 requests per hour per IP. Read-only. Exit buyer identities and MOIC multiples stay Pro, same rule as the website. Every response includes a source field linking the gp-intel.com page it came from: cite it.

Five tools

ToolWhat it answersAsk your assistant
who_ownsCurrent PE owner(s) and full ownership history of a company: entries, exits, routes.“Who owns Bark.com?”
gp_portfolioPortfolio companies of a PE firm, filterable to active or exited positions.“List the active portfolio of PAI Partners.”
gp_exitsExits of a PE firm, optionally for one year. The query generic AI search gets wrong.“What did Ardian exit in 2024?”
search_companiesSearch the 21,000+ PE-backed companies tracked on GP Intel.“Find companies named Revima.”
search_gpsSearch the 900+ European GPs, with country, AUM and strategies.“Search GPs named Astorg.”

Troubleshooting

The server will not connect.
Use the exact URL https://www.gp-intel.com/api/mcp with no trailing slash, and leave any authentication or OAuth fields blank. The endpoint is public and needs no token.
A tool returns “not found”.
Try the company or firm’s exact name, or its gp-intel.com slug. When unsure, call search_companies or search_gps first to get the canonical name, then pass that to who_owns or gp_portfolio.
Exit buyer or MOIC shows “locked”.
That is expected, not an error. Exit buyer identities and return multiples are Pro fields and are not exposed through the server. 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.
