The Problem: Company Research Takes Hours

Researching a company typically means visiting 5-10 different websites: SEC EDGAR for financials, LinkedIn for key people, Crunchbase for funding, BuiltWith for tech stack, Google Patents for IP. Each has its own interface, format, and limitations.

CompanyScope aggregates 12 free public data sources into a single MCP server with 11 specialized tools. Your AI assistant calls the right tools automatically and synthesizes the results.
