New • MCP Integration
The Cornect MCP server lets Claude Desktop — and any client that speaks the Model Context Protocol — search companies, look up details, create exports, and check credits, right inside your conversation.
You: Search Cornect for software companies in
Berlin with 50–200 employees.
Claude: [calls search_companies via Cornect MCP]
Found 47 companies matching your filters.
Here are the first few…What is MCP?
The Model Context Protocol is Anthropic's open standard for connecting AI assistants to external tools and data. Cornect's MCP server exposes the public Cornect API as a set of tools, so the assistant can query company data and run exports on your behalf — no glue code required.
What you can do
Search the company database with filters for industry, location, tech stack, size, and more.
Fetch full company profiles by ID — descriptions, location, technology stack, funding, and more.
Create export jobs and pull lead lists straight into Claude. Requires a read_write token.
Poll export jobs and know exactly when your data is ready to download.
Get short-lived presigned download URLs for completed exports.
Check workspace credits and recent transactions before bulk operations.
Install
Sign in at app.cornect.io and create a token at Account → API tokens. Choose read for search and lookup, or read_write if Claude will create exports.

Ask Claude:
"Use Cornect to search for software companies in Berlin."Not just Claude Desktop
The steps above show Claude Desktop, but mcp.cornect.io is a standard remote (Streamable HTTP) MCP server — it works with any client that supports custom/remote MCP connectors. Point your client at the same URL: https://mcp.cornect.io/mcp/YOUR_TOKEN.
Prefer to self-host? The server also runs as a local stdio process (advanced) — see the mcp-server README for the CORNECT_API_TOKEN + built-entrypoint path.
FAQ
Yes — the MCP server is free. You only spend Cornect credits when creating exports. Search, company lookup, credit checks, export status, and downloads don't charge.
A read token covers everything except creating exports. Use a read_write token only if Claude will create exports on your behalf.
Revoke it at Account → API tokens and mint a new one. Revocation is immediate — the next request with the old token is rejected.
The server lives in the Cornect repo under mcp-server/. Until it's published to npm, you can install it from source — see the README in the repo.
