# Grasp — AI Connector Grasp publishes 16 MCP tools to Claude. Marketplace availability, tool surface, verification tier, and what Node8 measured against the live endpoint. Source: https://node8.ai/ai-connectors/finance/grasp/ --- [AI Connectors](https://node8.ai/ai-connectors/) · [Finance](https://node8.ai/ai-connectors/finance/) # Grasp Private-market company, buyer and deal research with exports Listed in Claude · 16 published tools · Verified partner [Claude connector docs](https://www.grasp-ai.com/mcp-documentation) [grasp-ai.com](https://grasp-ai.com) Overview ## What Grasp does Grasp is a private-market database, and the listing puts its scale at over 100 million companies, 500,000 buyers and 500,000 deals. The connector runs deal research through it end to end instead of answering one lookup at a time. Target, buyer and transaction lists are built first, then refined with structured research. From there financials and ownership can be analysed, data tables queried and exported, and company profiles or decision-maker contacts pulled. The sequence mirrors how a thesis narrows into a shortlist. This connector carries the partner tier, meaning it passed a review step. ### Who it is for Corporate development and private equity teams researching targets, buyers and transactions. ### Tool surface The endpoint requires credentials before naming anything, so sixteen is the publisher's figure. List building, structured research refinement, financial and ownership analysis, data table export, and contact retrieval are the groupings given. Availability ## Where Grasp is listed Grasp is listed in the Claude connectors directory only. Grasp AI has no app under the same domain in the ChatGPT directory; 392 of the 3,150 products here are on both marketplaces, and this is not one of them. The MCP server behind a Claude connector is usually the same server a ChatGPT app would need, so the absence is a distribution decision rather than a technical one. Claude listing ## In the Claude connectors directory Grasp publishes 16 tools to Claude, deeper than 61.6% of the 1,253 Claude-listed connectors. The median Claude-listed connector filed under Finance publishes 12, so this one runs 4 tools above its bucket's median and ranks 57th of 159 by tool count. It falls in the 11-20 tools band, which holds 22.5% of the Claude directory. Grasp 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 Grasp AI Verification Verified partner (37.8% of the Claude directory) Filed under Financial Services Endpoint `https://app.grasp-ai.com/mcp` Documentation [Publisher setup docs](https://www.grasp-ai.com/mcp-documentation) Published tools 16 · 11-20 tools band Depth rank in Finance 57 of 159 Snapshot August 2026 Grasp 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 Grasp AI describes it > Grasp brings the most exhaustive private-market database into Claude — 100m+ companies, 500k+ buyers and 500k+ deals, with data straight from the source. Run deal research end to end: build target, buyer and transaction lists; refine with structured research; analyse financials and ownership; query and export exhaustive data tables; and pull company profiles or decision-maker contacts. Move from a broad investment thesis to final insights — surfacing the opportunities no one else can. Quoted from the connector's own Claude directory listing as captured in August 2026.
