}
}
}

Cursor & Claude Desktop
- Build the project (
npm run build). - In your MCP host (e.g. Cursor Settings → MCP or Claude Desktop config), add a server (adjust paths):
{
"mcpServers": {
"companydata": {
"command": "node",
"args": ["/ABSOLUTE/PATH/TO/companydata-mcp-server/dist/index.js"],
"env": {
"COMPANYDATA_API_KEY": "your-api-key-here",
"COMPANYDATA_API_BASE_URL": "https://app.companydata.com"
}
}
}
}
- Reload MCP / restart Cursor if needed.
Smoke checklist
- Server starts without errors (
npm run build && node dist/index.jswith env set). - MCP host lists tools:
company_search,company_enrich,field_lookup. company_searchreturns 200 payload for a simple query (e.g.search=BoldData).field_lookupreturns city suggestions (e.g.search=amst).
Development without a separate build step:
{
"mcpServers": {
"companydata": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["tsx", "/ABSOLUTE/PATH/TO/companydata-mcp-server/src/index.ts"],
"env": {
"COMPANYDATA_API_KEY": "your-api-key-here",
"COMPANYDATA_API_BASE_URL": "https://app.companydata.com"
}
}
}
}
CLI
After npm run build, the package exposes companydata-mcp when linked (npm link) or when node_modules/.bin is on PATH.
Distribution
- Hosted:
https://companydata.com/mcp/(Streamable HTTP, stateless). The website serves the same tools from a copy ofsrc/tools.ts. - npm:
@companydata/mcp-server. - Official MCP Registry:
com.companydata/mcp(seeserver.json).

New to MCP?
From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
