mcp

mcp is a tool that provides AI agents with access to corporate ownership data. It connects AI tools to databases containing information about parent companies, private equity backers, and corporate branches, aiming to improve the research capabilities of AI. The software acts as a bridge between an AI and public databases, retrieving only information about corporate entities without accessing private documents or local personal data. It operates within the standard framework of the Model Context Protocol.

When queried about a business, mcp supplies details such as corporate hierarchy (identifying if a business is a branch of a larger parent company), investment ties (showing if a private equity firm backs the business), portfolio siblings (listing other companies under the same ownership group), and data enrichment (adding context to standard company names to reduce AI mistakes). The tool requires a Windows 10 or Windows 11 operating system, at least 4 gigabytes of RAM, a stable internet connection, and an AI client that supports the Model Context Protocol. Installation involves downloading an .exe file and following on-screen instructions, after which the user must link the tool to their AI agent by providing the installation path in the AI application's settings.
