Crunchbase

A live handshake means the URL answered an MCP initialize as a server on the probe date. It is liveness and nothing more: nobody has run its tools. A tool being catalogued means a server names it, by answering tools/list, in its own source, or in the vendor's documentation. None of them has been called. A tool count of 0 means not measured, never zero tools.

Crunchbase

A private-company database covering company profiles, funding rounds, investors, people and acquisitions, sold as a web product, a REST API and, since 2026, a first-party MCP server that exposes the same data to AI assistants.

1 of 1 enterprise only, API access needs a contract.

The gate is the api_gate field on each product entry, established by hand on the last_checked date shown above. It records whether a solo operator can get API access without a contract. Money is not tracked.

No job tag on any product of this vendor.

An empty list means nobody has tagged these entries, not that the tools do nothing.

No product of this vendor records an MCP endpoint or docs URL that the probe could classify.

Crunchbase crunchbase-cli community CLI

This is a third party's CLI. It was published by somebody other than the vendor, so it is that author's surface for the vendor's API and not the vendor's published surface. The two must not be read as the same thing.

npm install -g crunchbase-cli

harvested 2026-09-27, all on the tool page.

A CLI being listed means the harvest found an install command or a package on a stated date. Nobody has run it. Every command is quoted verbatim from the URL beneath it.

github.com/crunchbase tied to the vendor by rule 3, account website https://www.crunchbase.com has the vendor's domain, confidence strong

Kind is a heuristic guessed from the repository name, topics and description, not a fact the vendor stated. A repository count is activity, not a verdict. Read 2026-09-08.

A job tag is a vendor claim: it means the vendor says the product does this, and it is not a test result. A listed tool has not been run: the catalogue says what an agent could try, not what works. 1 of 1,252 directory entries are bench tested, meaning somebody personally ran the tool on a stated date, and 0 of this vendor's 1 product are among them. There is no verdict here on whether this vendor is better than another.

Vendor pages group the directory's canonical product entries by vendor_domain. The vendor name is the product display name that matches the domain when several products share it; nothing on this page is typed by hand. Data baked 2026-09-27 by build_directory.py (phase 1).
