Overview

Mergr is a private equity and M&A intelligence platform built to be accessible: straightforward, current data on PE firms, deals, and private companies — no onboarding, no training, no enterprise-database complexity. This connector gives Claude direct, read-only access to Mergr's live database: 4,100+ active PE firms, 224,000+ companies, 223,000+ M&A transactions, and 100,000+ original press releases, with ownership histories, deal advisors, and sector analytics. Ask questions the way you'd ask an analyst: • "Which PE firms would be the strongest buyers for a $30M revenue HVAC company in Texas?" — Buyer Match scores financial and strategic buyers against the target's profile. • "Which sponsors are building roll-ups in collision repair?" — Roll-Up Tracker surfaces active platforms and their add-on velocity. • "Which banks and law firms advised the most software deals last year?" — Rankings builds advisor and acquirer league tables with full filtering. In total, 23 research tools cover firm, company, and deal search with the same filter sets as mergr.com; buyer, investor, and advisor matching; ownership lineage and exit signals; divestiture candidates; investor lookalikes; press-release search; and market analytics. Every answer links back to mergr.com profiles and source press releases, so results are verifiable — not a black box. Getting started takes seconds: connect with your mergr.com login (read-only — the connector never acts on your behalf). Not a member? Sign up for a free trial at mergr.com.
