From the project READMEGP Intel MCP Server
Verified European private equity ownership data, queryable from any AI assistant.

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.

}
}
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.

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.
