For developers

Xcout Intel MCP server

Remote MCP · Streamable HTTP · Keyed by your API key

Xcout Intel's company data — companies, funding rounds, investors, people, jobs and hiring, rankings and metric histories — as tools that Claude and other AI agents can call directly.

Ask an agent which Series A fintechs in Germany are hiring engineers, or who sits on a company's board, and it answers from the same data as the app and the API.

Server URL

https://intel.xcout.app/api/mcp

Sign in from the client (below), or send an API key on every request as Authorization: Bearer sk_intel_…. Create an API key.

Connect

Claude.ai and ChatGPT: click Connect and sign in

Add the server URL above as a custom connector (Claude: Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector; ChatGPT: create an app with OAuth authentication). Click Connect, sign in to Xcout Intel, pick the workspace and approve. No key to copy: the connection gets its own API key, listed under Settings → API keys as “Connected: <app>”, where you can revoke it.

Connecting needs a workspace admin with two-factor authentication on, the same rule as creating an API key by hand. Calls count against the workspace's plan like any other key.

Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport http xcout-intel https://intel.xcout.app/api/mcp --header "Authorization: Bearer sk_intel_YOUR_KEY"

Cursor

Add to ~/.cursor/mcp.json (or .cursor/mcp.json in a project):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "xcout-intel": {
      "url": "https://intel.xcout.app/api/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer sk_intel_YOUR_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}

Claude Desktop and other clients that only speak stdio

Bridge with mcp-remote (needs Node.js). In claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "xcout-intel": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "mcp-remote",
        "https://intel.xcout.app/api/mcp",
        "--header",
        "Authorization:Bearer ${XCOUT_KEY}"
      ],
      "env": {
        "XCOUT_KEY": "sk_intel_YOUR_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}

Any other MCP client

URL:     https://intel.xcout.app/api/mcp
Header:  Authorization: Bearer sk_intel_YOUR_KEY
Transport: Streamable HTTP (stateless, JSON responses)
