Frequently asked questions about the Crunchbase MCP Server

01

Do I need a paid Crunchbase license to use this MCP?

Yes, the Crunchbase API requires a paid license (Starter, Professional, or Enterprise tier). Free accounts have limited access. Your API key (user_key) is provided via email upon license activation. Contact Crunchbase sales at data@crunchbase.com for licensing options.

02

Can I track real-time funding announcements and new startup launches?

Crunchbase data is updated regularly but not in real-time. Funding rounds appear within days of public announcement. The API provides the most recent data Crunchbase has processed. For real-time monitoring, consider combining this MCP with news API monitoring for immediate PR detection.

03

Can I search for companies by industry or location instead of name?

This MCP currently supports name-based search. For industry/location filtering, you can search with broad terms and then review company profiles for location and industry details in the detailed results. Advanced filtering by industry vertical, funding stage, or employee count would require the Crunchbase Enterprise API tier with additional query capabilities.
