# CB Insights — AI Connector CB Insights publishes 15 MCP tools to Claude and is listed in the ChatGPT apps directory. Marketplace availability, tool surface, verification tier, and what Node8 measured against the live endpoint. Source: https://node8.ai/ai-connectors/finance/cb-insights/ --- [AI Connectors](https://node8.ai/ai-connectors/) · [Finance](https://node8.ai/ai-connectors/finance/) # CB Insights Private company research and market mapping Listed in ChatGPT and Claude · 15 published tools · Verified partner [ChatGPT listing](https://chatgpt.com/plugins/cb-insights?open_in_app) [Claude connector docs](https://mcp.cbinsights.com) [cbinsights.com](https://www.cbinsights.com) Overview ## What CB Insights does CB Insights turns private markets research into tasks that run from a chat: sourcing companies, assembling market maps, drafting investment memos, and monitoring competitors. The data set behind it is described as more than eleven million double-validated company profiles, together with recent equity deal coverage, proprietary taxonomies, scoring, hidden signals, and two decades of technology research. Predictive intelligence sits on top of that, aimed at surfacing companies earlier than a manual scan would. The stated audience is corporate strategy groups looking for acquisition targets, venture investors filtering deal flow, and business development teams searching for partners. ### Who it is for Corporate development, venture, and partnership teams whose work begins with a list of private companies. ### What stands out The output is shaped around deliverables such as market maps and investment memos rather than single company lookups. Availability ## Where CB Insights is listed CB Insights ships this on both marketplaces: CB Insights 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 CB Insights 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 Finance publishes 12, so this one runs 3 tools above its bucket's median and ranks 63rd of 159 by tool count. It falls in the 11-20 tools band, which holds 22.5% of the Claude directory. CB Insights 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. Publisher CB Insights Verification Verified partner (37.8% of the Claude directory) Filed under Financial Services Endpoint `https://mcp.cbinsights.com` Documentation [Publisher setup docs](https://mcp.cbinsights.com) Published tools 15 · 11-20 tools band Depth rank in Finance 63 of 159 Snapshot August 2026 CB Insights carries partner verification in the Claude directory, which 474 of 1,253 listings do (37.8%). That is a review step past self-publishing, not an Anthropic-built server. In the publisher's words ## How CB Insights describes it > Unleash Claude as your private markets research agent.
