Connect your AI tools (MCP)

Use DealSlide with your favorite AI tools like Claude and ChatGPT through MCP.

MCP is a standard way to connect an AI tool to another app. Once you connect DealSlide, you can ask your AI tool about businesses for sale, and it looks up real listings instead of guessing.

It works with chat assistants like ChatGPT, coding tools like Claude Code, and personal agents, as long as they support MCP and let you log in to DealSlide in a browser.

You need a DealSlide account. Free and Pro get the same tools and listings, and Pro includes more requests per day.

What your AI tool can do

  • Search live and pending listings with the same filters as the site
  • Read a listing's full description, price history, and timeline
  • Find similar listings
  • Find recent price cuts and listings back on the market
  • List the marketplaces and brokers we cover
  • Add listings to your watchlist and read it back
  • Save a search and check it for new matches

Saving a search turns on a daily email alert. Your AI tool can't save more once your account has 25 saved searches.

At this time, your AI tool can't remove anything. To remove a watched listing or a saved search, use the site.

Your AI tool can't search sold or archived listings. Those stay on the site, where we can explain what the data means, and they're for Pro members. A watched listing that left the market shows only its status and when we recorded it.

Things to ask

  • "Find SaaS businesses under $500k with at least $100k in annual profit."
  • "Which content sites had a price cut in the last week?"
  • "What came back on the market this month?"
  • "Show me the full history of this listing and find similar ones."
  • "What changed on my watchlist?"
  • "Save this as a search and email me new matches."
  • "Which marketplaces does DealSlide cover?"

Add DealSlide to your AI tool

  11. In any new chat, you can now ask Claude to use the DealSlide connector to interact with your account to find business listings, check for new saved search matches, watch listings, and more.

These steps work on the Claude website and in the desktop app.

On a Team or Enterprise plan, an owner adds DealSlide under Organization settings, then Connectors. Each member then clicks Connect.

On the screen with your tool permissions, click the three dots in the top right, then click Refresh tools list.

Other AI tools

Other AI tools and frameworks that support MCP often ask for the same things. Look for a place to add a custom connector or MCP server, then:

  1. Name the connection DealSlide.

  2. Paste this address as the URL:

    https://dealslide.com/api/mcp
  3. Follow the prompts until the DealSlide page opens. If no browser opens, look for a login link from your AI tool and open it.

  4. Log in if asked, then click Allow.

Limits

If your AI tool says you've reached the daily limit, it resets at 00:00 UTC. Pro plan members get 20x the MCP tool call usage compared to free. Learn more

Disconnect

To end every AI tool's connection at once, reset your password. An AI tool can keep access for up to 15 minutes after that.
