What the Grasp connector does

The Grasp MCP server connects Grasp — a private-market research platform for deal professionals — to Claude, ChatGPT and any MCP-compatible agent. Grasp documents 20 tools that build company, buyer and transaction tables, run SQL over them, look up company profiles and find decision-maker contacts. Sign-in is OAuth and requires a paid seat.

Tool names from Anthropic's directory listing. This server requires sign-in, so we could not read tool descriptions or parameter schemas.

Limits

  • The documented scopes are not the granted ones. Grasp's docs describe four application scopes — table read, table write, table export and research run. Its authorization server advertised only email, offline_access, openid and profile on 2026-08-22, and the RFC 9728 resource descriptor omits scopes_supported entirely. So the boundary Grasp documents does not appear at consent, and nothing separates listing a table from exporting one.
  • Anthropic's listing is four tools short. The directory omits grasp_setup_conversation, grasp_search_companies, grasp_get_buyer_deals and grasp_unlock_contact_emails. The last of those reveals third-party email addresses, so the omission skews toward consequence.
  • Grasp's own rate-limit table has the same gap. It assigns categories to 12 tools and covers none of the four the directory omits, so their limits are undocumented.
  • We could not read tool schemas or safety annotations. The endpoint returned 401 to an anonymous request, so no parameter-level detail and no readOnlyHint or destructiveHint values are published here. The read/write split on this page is our classification of the vendor's descriptions.
  • The tool count may be a floor. Grasp's documentation page is dated 7 June 2026 and ships an in-server documentation tool, grasp_read_docs, that only an authenticated user can read. A tool added since June would appear there before it appeared on the public page.
  • A paid seat gates everything. An active subscription and an assigned seat are required; Grasp states disabled accounts and inactive subscriptions are rejected. There is no evaluation path through the MCP server.
  • Exports leave the perimeter. grasp_export_table returns a signed URL, which anyone holding the string can fetch. Grasp documents no expiry for it and we did not test one.
  • Contact data is third-party and opt-out. Grasp sources it from Apollo.io on a legitimate-interests basis. Individuals can request removal from Grasp or Apollo directly, which means the contact surface can legitimately differ between two workspaces on the same query.
  • Rate limits are per tool category — 60 per hour for table operations, 120 for export, 600 for lookup, 3,600 each for read and status — and Grasp describes these as configurable defaults, so your workspace's actual limits may differ.

Frequently asked questions

How many tools does the Grasp MCP server have?

Grasp documents 20; Anthropic's directory lists 16. The four Grasp documents and Anthropic omits are grasp_setup_conversation, grasp_search_companies, grasp_get_buyer_deals and grasp_unlock_contact_emails. Every name Anthropic lists also appears in Grasp's documentation, so the directory is a subset rather than a contradiction. Treat 20 as the current figure.

Can the Grasp connector reveal someone's work email address?

Yes, through a tool Anthropic's directory does not list. Grasp documents grasp_unlock_contact_emails, which reveals work email addresses for specific people returned by contact search. Grasp states this contact data comes from Apollo.io and is processed on a legitimate-interests basis, with opt-out through Grasp or Apollo's privacy centre.

What OAuth permissions does the Grasp MCP server request?

Identity claims only, at the grant. Grasp's documentation describes four application scopes covering table read, write, export and research. Its authorization server advertised only email, offline_access, openid and profile on 2026-08-22, and the RFC 9728 resource descriptor declares no scopes_supported at all. Nothing at consent separates reading a table from exporting one.

Do I need a paid Grasp account to use the MCP server?

Yes. Grasp's documentation states access requires an authenticated Grasp account with an active subscription and an assigned seat, and that disabled accounts and inactive subscriptions are rejected. There is no free or anonymous tier for the endpoint. An anonymous request to it returned HTTP 401 with an OAuth challenge on 2026-08-22.

Can the Grasp connector delete a table?

No tool among the 20 carries a delete verb. The write set creates tables, updates table versions, adds research columns and cancels pending jobs. Grasp describes grasp_update_table as updating a table version rather than overwriting one, and grasp_cancel_job as cancelling a pending job before it starts, so both are bounded rather than destructive.

Does the Grasp MCP server send data anywhere outside Grasp?

One tool produces an outbound artefact. Grasp documents grasp_export_table as returning a signed download URL plus an MCP resource link. A signed URL is retrievable by anyone holding it, so an exported private-market table leaves Grasp's access controls the moment the link is shared. No tool emails, posts or messages anyone.

What are the Grasp MCP rate limits?

They are per tool category and configurable. Grasp documents defaults of 60 per hour for table operations, 120 for export, 600 for lookup, and 3,600 each for read and status calls. The published table assigns no category to the four tools Anthropic's directory omits, so their limits are not documented anywhere we could find.

Which AI clients work with the Grasp MCP server?

Claude Desktop, Claude.ai and Claude Code, per Grasp's documentation. Its authorization server advertises a registration endpoint, which is the dynamic client registration Claude Code requires, so no personal-token fallback is documented. Grasp also publishes a plugin in Claude's plugin directory that bundles recommended skills and connects to this same server.
