Overview

AI-generated overview

Hosted Apify MCP server that looks up Crunchbase company profiles — funding, investors and firmographics — for named companies.

What you can do
  • Look up companies by Crunchbase organization URL or by name/website domain and get full profile rows
  • Retrieve funding rounds, investor and lead-investor names, founders, key people and advisors
  • Read firmographics: headquarters, industries, employee band, operating and IPO status, rank
  • Get products, similar companies, acquisitions, subsidiaries, recent news and public contacts
  • Inspect run status, page through large result sets, read stored records and abort runs
When to use it
Useful for account research, investor diligence, or enriching a list of named companies with funding and firmographic data. It is aimed at lookups of specific companies rather than searching the whole Crunchbase database.
Requirements
Remote Streamable HTTP endpoint at mcp.apify.com with the Actor pinned in the URL; nothing to install. Requires an Apify account and OAuth sign-in on first use, or an Apify API token sent as a Bearer authorization header. Calls run on your own Apify account and consume Apify credits.
Before you install
Paid: each call is billed on your Apify account per company returned and per name/domain lookup, plus small per-run and per-row charges; name lookups are charged even when no match is found. Cached rows are billed like live ones. Data comes from scraping Crunchbase public pages, so you are responsible for complying with the source's terms; the provider is not affiliated with Crunchbase.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Crunchbase Company in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Connect the required credentials. They are stored privately and never shown on public pages.
  3. Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Web executable via Streamable HTTP. Remote servers run from the web runtime once configured in a workspace.

Use with an agent

Paste this prompt into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or another agent — or into SourceWeft chat. The agent reads this server's install guide, shows you its publisher, endpoint and sign-in, and adds it to your client once you agree. Keys never go into a command.

Read https://sourceweft.com/mcp/io.github.johnisanerd%2Fcrunchbase-company/install.md and connect the MCP server it describes to my client. Before changing any config, show me its publisher, endpoint and sign-in method and wait for my OK. Never put an API key in a command or in a file I would commit; ask me where it should come from.

Read the install guide the agent follows

Other MCP clients

Add this to your client's mcpServers config. The client completes OAuth sign-in on first connect.

README

Crunchbase Company MCP server

Registry name: io.github.johnisanerd/crunchbase-company. Maintained by AlphaOSINT (Apify developer johnvc, GitHub johnisanerd).

What it does

Look up companies by Crunchbase organization URL and get funding rounds and totals, investors, industries, headquarters, employee count, rank and operating status.

When to use it

Funding and investor data for named companies, rather than a search across the whole database. Use it for account research, investor diligence and enriching a company list.

How it works

The server runs on Apify's hosted MCP endpoint, so there is nothing to install or host. Its URL pins one Actor with ?tools=johnvc/crunchbase-company-api, which gives your agent a single tool, johnvc--crunchbase-company-api, whose parameters are the Actor's typed input schema. The agent can call that tool directly without searching for an Actor first, and it can't start other Actors through this server. For general access to the whole Apify Store, use https://mcp.apify.com without the tools parameter.

Pricing

Each tool call runs the Apify Actor johnvc/crunchbase-company-api on your own Apify account and is billed there at the Actor's prices:

ChargePrice (USD)What it covers
Company scraped$0.006Fee per company returned. Charged once for each company pushed to the dataset.
Name or domain lookup$0.002Fee per company name or website domain looked up (companyNames), charged whether or not a match is found. Organization URLs (companyUrls) never pay it.

Free-plan rates as of 2026-11-12; paid Apify plans pay less per event. Apify also bills a token amount per run start and stored row ($0.00001, $0.00001). Current prices are on the Actor's page: https://apify.com/johnvc/crunchbase-company-api

Endpoint

  • Transport: Streamable HTTP
  • URL: https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=johnvc/crunchbase-company-api
  • Auth: Apify OAuth (opens on first use), or the header Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_TOKEN> (Apify Console → Settings → API & Integrations)

Setup

Claude Code

bash
claude mcp add --transport http crunchbase-company "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=johnvc/crunchbase-company-api"

VS Code (.vscode/mcp.json)

Claude Desktop: Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector, and paste the URL. Older versions without remote connectors can bridge through mcp-remote in claude_desktop_config.json:

json
{  "mcpServers": {    "crunchbase-company": {      "command": "npx",      "args": [        "-y",        "mcp-remote",        "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=johnvc/crunchbase-company-api"      ]    }  }}

Tools
