Make your AI agent fluent in private markets.
Specter MCP connects Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, or any MCP client to live company, people, investor, and signal data. 29 tools behind every prompt. The first 100 calls each day are free.
Trusted by 400+ elite firms
All of Specter inside the agents you already run.
Live data behind every answer
Every answer comes from the current Specter record: metrics, funding, headcount, and signals as they stand today, not as your model last saw them.
Read and write
Your agent doesn't just look things up. It builds lists and saved searches back in your Specter workspace, and every write tool asks for confirmation first.
Net-new tracking
Saved-search pulls return only what's new since the last read. Recurring runs never repeat themselves, so a daily check stays a one-line prompt.
Tools that chain themselves
Ask in plain English and the client picks the right tools in the right order: resolve the entity, run the search, enrich the results, act on them.
29 tools. Each one does a whole job.
Specter MCP ships job-oriented tools, not raw endpoints: 24 read tools that resolve, search, and pull memo-ready records, and 5 write tools that build lists and saved searches back in your workspace. Your agent picks the right one and chains the next, and anything that writes asks you first.
Resolve & search
4 toolsHand over a domain, a LinkedIn URL, an email, or a plain-English question. The right records come back before anything else runs.
Company intelligence
10 toolsFull profiles formatted like investment memos, plus competitors, funding, revenue, valuation, and the news and investor-interest signals on the record.
People
3 toolsCareer timelines, verified emails, and the talent signals Specter tracked for any person: founder moves, stealth launches, executive hires.
Investors
3 toolsFirmographics, the rounds a firm took part in with its co-investors, and the interest signals it's generating.
Lists
5 toolsCreate and update lists in your workspace, or read the ones your team already keeps. Your agent's work lands where everyone can see it.
Saved searches
4 toolsPersist a search and pull it on a cadence. Each pull returns only what's new since the last read, so a recurring check never repeats itself.
“We are embedding Specter into all our workstreams, and it is showing significant promise as part of our strategy to find the next company we will back.”

“Specter enhances the efficiency of our operations, and contributes to the in-house data systems we build to generate alpha. Covering both bases makes it a highly versatile and valued part of our tech stack.”

From one prompt to a working pipeline.
The same sourcing motions your team runs in the platform, spoken instead of clicked, and left running in the agent you already keep open.
Search in plain English.
“AI infrastructure companies in Europe that raised this year” is a complete query. The search tool returns a compact, ranked list your agent can hand straight to the next tool.
Track with saved searches.
Persist any search to your workspace and pull it on a cadence. Each pull returns only what's new since the last read, so a recurring check never shows the same record twice.
Build target lists.
Resolve the companies or people you care about and write them into shared lists without leaving the conversation. Every write tool asks you before it runs.
Deep dive on anything.
One promising name becomes a memo: profile, competitive landscape, funding history, and latest revenue, chained by your agent one tool at a time.
Connect to any harness in seconds.
Specter MCP is a hosted server: nothing to install, nothing to run. Add it wherever your team already talks to an AI and the tools appear on their own.
Add the connector
Point any MCP client at the Specter server URL. Claude Desktop and ChatGPT take it as a custom connector; Claude Code adds it with one command.
Sign in
Authenticate with your Specter account when prompted. Your workspace, permissions, and usage settings follow you into the agent.
Ask
That's the whole setup. Your agent discovers the tools on its own and starts answering with live Specter data.
Free daily allowance to augment your workflows.
100 free tool calls a day
Every user gets 100 calls a day at no cost, resetting daily. A call counts as one whatever the tool: a free lookup and a paid pull draw the same single call.
The essentials never cost credits
Entity resolution and all list and saved-search management are free tools. The connective tissue of a workflow never draws on your balance.
Scales with your team's credits
Past the daily allowance, calls draw on your team's API credit pool at per-tool rates, and workspace admins decide whether that door is open at all.
Specter Agents work the same live data from inside the platform — they plan the work, run the tools, and hand back answers with their sources attached.

Now we spend far less time on infrastructure and spend more of our time building those relationships and investing behind the best founders in our ecosystems. I think Specter will become table stakes for any fund that wants to be in the top quartile.

Specter allows me to narrow or expand the scope of searches at will, without needing to build or maintain any of the data pipelines and infrastructure myself. Using it on a daily basis is super powerful.
Timothy Chen
Partner at Essence VC
We've already found one of our investments through Specter! That being said, its value extends beyond pure sourcing. Signals provide a level of intelligence that's valuable throughout the entire investment lifecycle.
Pietro Invernizzi
Founder of firedrop
Specter's performance-based signals draw us towards the right startups at the right time, so we're prepared as we can be to make the right decision.
Danny Chepenko
Corporate VC at inDrive
We've invested in a founder with roots at Stanford and Wharton. They were a rising star in their industry with a strong technical background. We found them as a Stealth signal through Specter.

Tools like Specter surface early talent signals, company foundations, team moves, and nascent traction, beyond what internal scouts can manually track. We see companies we wouldn't see otherwise.

Specter has been a useful addition to our sourcing stack - it's surfaced interesting companies we might have otherwise missed and helps keep our pipeline fresh.
Dominique Yadegar
VP at Bonfire Ventures
Specter is my go-to for founder outreach before anything else. My time on LinkedIn is substantially reduced; I open Specter, run our saved searches, look at Talent and Investor signals, and reach out
