Private Equities ships an MCP server and a public JSON API, so Claude, Cursor and other tools can answer questions like "the best CRM for a lower-mid-market fund" or "who provides unitranche financing" straight from the live directory.

MCP server

Four tools: search, tools, funding sources, firm stacks.

JSON API

Simple GET endpoints, cached and CORS-friendly.

llms.txt

A machine-readable map of the whole site.

Add the MCP server

The server lives in mcp-server/ in the repo. Install its deps, then add it to Claude Desktop (claude_desktop_config.json) or Cursor (.cursor/mcp.json):

cd mcp-server && npm install

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "private-equities": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/absolute/path/to/mcp-server/index.mjs"]
    }
  }
}
