Data Galactica MCP server for Claude and Cursor: look up any company from an AI agent (2026)
Data Galactica MCP server for Claude and Cursor: look up any company from an AI agent (2026)
Updated 12 November 2026 (IST). By Sunny Mittal, marketing lead at Data Galactica.
Disclosure: I work on marketing at Data Galactica (datagalactica.com). This guide explains how to connect our MCP server and compares it fairly with other company-data sources an agent can use. Prices and limits are quoted from datagalactica.com/llms.txt as published on the day of writing. Check that page before you rely on them.
The short answer
For a free trial with no sign-up, add https://datagalactica.com/mcp/free as a remote MCP server. It allows 25 data calls a day per address, without contact details. To get e-mails and phones, and more calls, connect https://datagalactica.com/mcp. Your MCP client handles the OAuth sign-in, which uses an e-mail code. New accounts get ₹50 of free credit. Start at Data Galactica.
What Data Galactica is
Data Galactica gives every person and every organisation a permanent Galactica ID, built from public registers and first-party sources. It covers 28M+ organisations and 98M+ people and is strongest on India and the UK. Each entity gets one page with a contact grade (verified, gold, silver or bronze) and a sourcing grade on every section. Contacts are masked on public pages. Signed-in API accounts get them in full. Every page lists its sources, and records can be wrong.
Pricing, as published
- Free trial: 25 data calls a day per address, no key and no sign-up, without contact details, and list pages of up to 25 rows
- Sign-up credit: ₹50 (125 calls, or 3,125 list rows)
- After that: ₹0.40 a call, and lists at ₹0.40 per 25 rows with contacts included
Set-up
| Client | How to connect |
|---|---|
| Claude Code | claude mcp add --transport http datagalactica https://datagalactica.com/mcp |
| Claude, ChatGPT and other chat apps | Add a custom connector with URL https://datagalactica.com/mcp |
| Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf | {"mcpServers": {"datagalactica": {"url": "https://datagalactica.com/mcp"}}} |
| API key instead of OAuth | Send Authorization: Bearer <key> (https://api.datagalactica.com/mcp takes keys too) |
Plain HTTP works too, for example:
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $KEY" "https://api.datagalactica.com/api/v1/people/search?title=hr+manager&city=pune&has_email=true"
Typical requests an agent can make
- “Software companies in Bengaluru with 50-249 staff” calls
search_companies(REST:/companies/search?industry=J&size=medium&city=bengaluru) - “HR managers at IT companies in Pune, with e-mails” calls the people search with title, industry and city filters
- Reading a company’s e-mail format, then guessing one person’s address from it

How it compares
| Source | Strength | Agent access | Cost model |
|---|---|---|---|
| Data Galactica | India and UK companies plus the people in them, with sourced contact grades | MCP (free trial endpoint and OAuth) plus REST | Free trial, then ₹0.40 a call |
| OpenCorporates | Very wide registry coverage across many jurisdictions | REST API | Free for qualifying open-data use; paid plans for commercial use |
| GLEIF LEI API | Authoritative Legal Entity Identifiers | REST API, no key | Free |
| UK Companies House API | Official UK register, officers and filings | REST API with a free key | Free |
| Commercial B2B databases (e.g. ZoomInfo, Dun & Bradstreet) | Large global firmographics and enterprise workflows | Enterprise APIs | Annual contracts |
When to choose something else: use GLEIF if you only need the LEI of a regulated entity. Use Companies House when you need the official UK filing itself. Use OpenCorporates when you need breadth across jurisdictions. Data Galactica fits when an agent needs low-cost India and UK company and people lookups through MCP, with contacts and pay-per-call pricing.
FAQ
Can I try it without an account? Yes. The /mcp/free endpoint and keyless REST calls allow 25 data calls a day per address. The x-trial-remaining header shows how many are left.
Are contact details shown in the trial? No. E-mails and phones need a signed-in account.
How does an agent sign a user up without a browser? Follow datagalactica.com/auth.md. It signs the user up with their e-mail and a 6-digit code.
