Grata Expands AI Ecosystem with Native MCP Integration in Perplexity Computer
August 26, 2026 | Press Release
NEW YORK, August 26, 2026 – Grata, the leading private market intelligence platform and a Datasite company, today announced that its Model Context Protocol (MCP) server is now available within Perplexity Computer, bringing Grata’s proprietary private market intelligence directly into one of the world’s leading AI agent platforms. The integration enables Perplexity users to incorporate Grata’s verified company intelligence into AI-powered research, sourcing, market mapping, and investment workflows without leaving their existing environment.
Through the integration, mutual customers can access Grata’s proprietary intelligence on more than 22 million companies, ownership structures, executive contacts, conference participation, seller intent signals, deal comps, and other private market datasets alongside Perplexity’s web intelligence. The result is richer, more complete outputs that combine real-time public information with proprietary data unavailable through traditional web search.
“As AI becomes central to private market workflows, the quality of the underlying data determines the quality of the outcome,” said Andrew Bocskocsky, Executive Vice President, Private Markets Intelligence at Datasite. “Perplexity has built an exceptional platform for turning information into finished work. By bringing Grata’s proprietary private market intelligence into that experience, we’re enabling investors, bankers, consultants, and corporate development teams to move beyond publicly available information and generate insights they can act on with confidence.”
“Grata has built one of the most rigorously verified datasets on private companies anywhere, backed by a team of more than 600 research analysts who validate differentiated private-market data,” said Jeff Grimes, Head of Live Events Product at Perplexity. “In Computer, that means dealmakers can research a target, map a market, and build a comp set with proprietary intelligence woven directly into their work, without leaving the platform or standing up a separate connector.”
Unlike public web data alone, Grata’s intelligence is built from foundational company information, exclusive private sources, proprietary network data, transaction intelligence, and human verification performed by a team of more than 600 research analysts. Through MCP, users can seamlessly combine Grata’s proprietary datasets, Computer’s reasoning and orchestration capabilities, and other connected data sources to produce complete, customizable research outputs on complex business questions in a single workflow.
Example use cases include:
- Identifying acquisition or investment targets within a specific market
- Building comprehensive market maps across fragmented industries
- Constructing nuanced comp sets for accurate financial modeling
- Discovering strategic buyers and sponsor-backed businesses
- Researching executives, ownership structures, and investment themes
- Combining Grata’s proprietary intelligence with current market news and broader web research in a single AI-powered analysis
The integration is part of Grata’s broader expansion to make its proprietary private market intelligence available wherever customers work. Grata’s MCP also connects with leading AI assistants and agentic platforms including Blueflame AI, allowing deal professionals to access investment-grade intelligence directly within their preferred AI workflows.
The Grata MCP is available today for Grata customers on any AI platform that supports custom MCP connectors.
