Example uses
Use Beauhurst data where it works best in your AI workflow, alongside your other datasets already connected such as client and prospect lists.
1. Prepare for a client or prospect meeting
Get a quick briefing on a company before a call: what it does, recent deals, people changes and ownership.
“I’m meeting [company] tomorrow. Give me a one-page briefing from Beauhurst: what they do, recent fundraisings or acquisitions, and who’s on the board.”
“Using Beauhurst, draft a follow-up email to [company] that mentions their latest funding round.”
2. Due diligence and KYC checks
Pull financials, shareholders, directors and group structure to check a company.
“Show me [company] turnover, EBITDA and net assets from Beauhurst for the last three years.”
“Using Beauhurst, who are the shareholders and directors of [company]? Is it part of a larger group?”
“Using Beauhurst, who are the biggest shareholders in [company], and what percentage does each hold?”
3. Understand company corporate structures and groups
See how separate registered companies roll up into one True Company.
“Using Beauhurst, show me the corporate structure of [company]. Which subsidiaries sit underneath it?”
“Check this client list against Beauhurst, which companies belong to the same group?”
4. Screen and prioritise a list you already have
Score, rank and prioritise companies.
“Every Friday: list the companies added to my [collection name] this week, rank them by recent funding and headcount.”
“Using Beauhurst data, score my prospect list on industry, employee count, last fundraising date and recent people changes.”
“Of the companies in my [collection name], which have raised money in the last 12 months?”
“In my [collection name], which companies are still majority-owned by their founders?”
5. Look up people
Check someone’s roles and connections.
“Using Beauhurst, who are the key people at [company]? And what other companies are they a director of?”
FAQs
Which AI tools does it work with?
You can currently connect to Claude, Copilot and ChatGPT, let us know if there’s another tool you want to connect to.
What can Beauhurst see?
Your AI tool works out what data needs to be requested from Beauhurst using the MCP. Beauhurst only receives the specific requests your AI tool makes for data, such as the company to look up and which tools to use. We don’t see the rest of your conversation.
Do I need a Beauhurst licence to use the MCP?
Yes you need a platform licence and you see what your licence allows. If you have a Viewer licence you won’t be able to see collections.
Can it find new companies for me, e.g. “fintechs in Leeds”?
Not yet. It works with companies you name or that are in your collections. To build a new list, use Advanced Search on the platform, save it as a collection, then use the MCP to analyse it.
Does the MCP cost credits
Yes it uses your Export credits, contact your Account Manager for more information
