Crunchbase MCP Server FAQs
What is the Crunchbase MCP Server?
The Crunchbase MCP Server is a specialized integration that empowers your AI agents to access real-time public data from Crunchbase. It acts as a bridge, allowing tools like Claude, Cursor, and custom LLMs to search, extract, and interact with Crunchbase content dynamically.
How does the integration handle blocking and CAPTCHAs?
Built on Bright Data's robust infrastructure, the Web MCP Server handles the complexities of web data extraction behind the scenes. It automatically manages proxy rotation, CAPTCHA solving, and unlocking technology to ensure your AI receives structured, reliable data from Crunchbase without getting blocked.
Is the data from Crunchbase live or cached?
The data is completely real-time. Unlike databases that can become outdated, the Crunchbase MCP fetches live content directly from the source at the moment of request, ensuring your AI agents act on the most current pricing, posts, or profile information available.
Is there a free tier for the Crunchbase MCP?
Yes! We offer a generous free tier that includes 5,000 requests per month. This allows developers and businesses to test the Crunchbase MCP Server, build prototypes, and perform light data extraction at no cost before scaling up.

Yes. Beyond retrieving static data, the server supports full browser automation. Your agents can be instructed to navigate Crunchbase pages, click buttons, handle infinite scrolling, and even take screenshots, enabling complex workflows that simulate real user behavior.
Do I need to host the server myself?
You have the choice. You can use our fully managed Remote MCP for instant access with zero infrastructure setup, or you can deploy the Local MCP if you require on-premise control and custom environment configurations for your Crunchbase projects.
