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.
