Who it is for
Sales, marketing, and research teams building account lists or tracking what tools a market is adopting.
Overview
What Trace does
Trace supplies structured company data on three fronts: the technologies a business runs, the partners it integrates with, and the roles it is hiring for. Queries return structured records rather than prose, which suits agents doing research at volume.
Lists can be created and watched over time, so a change such as a newly adopted tool or a new partner surfaces as a signal instead of something to recheck by hand.
The example uses run from account research and competitive analysis to building target lists, including filters that combine tools a company does run with tools it does not.
What stands out
It pairs technographic lookups with lists that keep watching for change, so research does not have to be repeated to catch an adoption.

Where Trace is listed
Trace ships this on both marketplaces: Trace is listed in the Claude connectors directory and in the ChatGPT apps directory, under the same publisher domain.
Only 392 of the 3,150 products in this directory are listed in both marketplaces. One MCP server can serve both surfaces; what differs is each platform's listing and review process.

Claude listing
In the Claude connectors directory
Trace publishes 15 tools to Claude. That is a mid-sized surface: 59.4% of the 1,253 Claude-listed connectors expose fewer.
The median Claude-listed connector filed under Data & Analytics publishes 12, so this one runs 3 tools above its bucket's median and ranks 70th of 198 by tool count.
It falls in the 11-20 tools band, which holds 22.5% of the Claude directory.
Trace publishes a remote MCP endpoint. Claude connects to it over HTTP; there is nothing to install locally.
Every connector in the Claude directory is remote, all 1,253 of them, so transport is not a differentiator there.

Trace is community-listed in the Claude directory, the tier 770 of 1,253 connectors sit in (61.5%). It is the default for a self-published server, and says nothing either way about quality.
In the publisher's words
How Trace describes it
Trace gives agents structured data on what technologies companies use, who they partner with, and who they're hiring. Ask about any company's tech stack, integration ecosystem, or recent hiring signals, and Trace returns structured answers. Create lists to monitor changes over time. Useful for account research, market analysis, competitive insights, or spotting when a company adopts a new tool or partner.
