What you can do with this MCP connector
Need to profile a company or person? Your agent can get_entity_profile to pull a full intelligence profile for any entity ID. Wanna see what they've been up to? Use audit_entity_changes to check and report on an entity's historical changes. You can map out connections using get_entity_connections to reveal direct and indirect relationships between entities.
To check out market movements, your agent pulls current trends for a category with get_market_intelligence_trends. You can list all the raw data points collected for an entity with list_entity_data_points, or see what sources are feeding the research data by running list_intelligence_sources. You can search the database for specific records or data source types using search_data_sources, and find entity IDs that match criteria with search_intelligence_entities.
When you need something super specific, run a custom query using query_custom_intelligence with a JSON string payload. You can also check the server's status with check_knowfirst_api_status.
How KnowFirst MCP Works
- 1 First, get your KnowFirst API Key from your dashboard.
- 2 Next, configure that key within this MCP server environment.
- 3 Then, use natural language commands with your AI client to start extracting data intelligence.
The bottom line is, your AI client connects to KnowFirst using your API key and runs complex research queries, returning structured data results.
Who Is KnowFirst MCP For?
This is for institutional research analysts, corporate development teams, and financial due diligence professionals. If your job involves tracking competitive movements, mapping supply chains, or validating M&A targets, you need this. Stop relying on disparate dashboards and spreadsheet scraping. Your agent handles the deep, multi-source query work.
They use the server to map the connection graph between two target companies, identifying shared vendors or parent entities before a pitch meeting.
They run get_market_intelligence_trends to see what signals are surging in a category like 'AI Infrastructure' or 'Renewable Energy' across the board.
They use audit_entity_changes to pinpoint exactly when a target company's executive team changed or when a key contract was signed, validating the timeline.
What Changes When You Connect
- See the entire picture with
get_entity_profile. Instead of piecing together data from LinkedIn, Crunchbase, and news articles, you get one centralized, deep profile on any entity. - Map hidden dependencies using
get_entity_connections. This tool doesn't just list connections; it graphs them, showing you critical parent companies or strategic partners you might otherwise miss. - Validate claims over time. Use
audit_entity_changesto track historical signals for an entity. You can prove when a company shifted focus or when a key executive left. - Understand the macro view with
get_market_intelligence_trends. You can query entire sectors—like 'Fintech'—to see if regulatory change signals are surging or if funding reports are declining. - Know your data sources.
list_intelligence_sourcesshows you exactly where KnowFirst pulls its information, which is essential when your report needs to cite its data origins. - Bypass limited toolsets. If a standard query isn't enough,
query_custom_intelligencelets you pass structured JSON to run a query tailored exactly to your research question.
Real-World Use Cases
Diagnosing a competitor's sudden pivot.
A competitor suddenly shifts its product focus. You ask your agent to check the entity. The agent runs get_entity_profile to gather core data, then uses audit_entity_changes to pinpoint the exact date the market signals changed, confirming a strategic pivot.
Mapping a complex supply chain risk.
You need to know if Vendor X is connected to any high-risk entities. You run get_entity_connections on Vendor X, which maps out all dependencies. This reveals a critical, overlooked connection to a problematic parent company.
Assessing market readiness for a new sector.
You want to know if the 'ClimateTech' sector is hot right now. Your agent runs get_market_intelligence_trends for 'ClimateTech,' showing a surge in 'Government Funding' signals but a decline in 'Private Investment' signals.
Finding a specific, obscure data point.
You need to find raw data about a specific contract from 2018. You use search_intelligence_entities first to get the ID, then run list_entity_data_points to pull the raw data for manual verification.
The Tradeoffs
Searching only by name.
Asking the agent: 'Tell me about Apple.' The agent only gets general info and misses the deep connections or historical shifts.
→
First, use search_intelligence_entities to get the unique ID. Then, pass that ID to get_entity_profile and follow up with get_entity_connections to map the full network.
Assuming data is current.
Reading a market trend report and assuming the data is live, only to find the signals are months old.
→
Always check the data lineage. Use list_intelligence_sources to see what data feeds are powering the report, and run audit_entity_changes to confirm the latest signal date.
Treating data points as isolated facts.
Collecting 5 separate facts about a company (e.g., funding round A, executive B, product C) and missing the link between them.
→
Run get_entity_connections immediately. This tool links the facts together into a graph, showing how executive B influenced product C, which is tied to funding round A.
When It Fits, When It Doesn't
Use this server if your research requires deep, interconnected data points—the kind you can't find on a single webpage. You need to know why a company is behaving a certain way, not just that it is.
Use KnowFirst if:
* You need to track the evolution of a company or sector over time. (audit_entity_changes, get_market_intelligence_trends)
* You must map out relationships to identify hidden dependencies or common parents. (get_entity_connections)
* You need a comprehensive, multi-source data snapshot. (get_entity_profile)
Don't use it if:
* You just need a simple definition or a basic search. Use a standard search engine or a simple database query tool instead. This server is overkill for basic lookups.
* You are trying to diagnose a system error due to user permissions or network failure. This server handles data intelligence, not system health. You'll need a dedicated system monitor tool for that.

Works with Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and more
The Model Context Protocol standardizes how applications expose capabilities to LLMs. Instead of operating in isolation, your AI gains direct access to external platforms, live data, and real-world actions through secure, standardized connections.
This server provides 10 capabilities that interface natively with Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and any MCP client. No middleware. No custom integration required.
Available Capabilities
Sifting through competitor data feels like detective work.
Today, checking a competitor's status means opening 5 tabs: one for their news, one for their funding rounds, one for their executive team, and two for their product mentions. You spend hours copying names, IDs, and dates into a master spreadsheet, trying to connect the dots manually.
With KnowFirst, you tell your agent to profile the competitor. The agent runs `get_entity_profile` and instantly pulls the full intelligence snapshot. You get a clean, structured record of their entire operation, including key people and market signals, without lifting a finger.
KnowFirst MCP Server: Entity Data Analysis
Manual research requires you to check multiple data sources—public records, social feeds, and news—and manually cross-reference them. This is slow, prone to human error, and always incomplete.
The KnowFirst MCP Server handles this complexity. It synthesizes data from dozens of sources and delivers a single, auditable intelligence profile. You get the truth, sourced and structured, immediately.
Common Questions About KnowFirst MCP
