Your teams already work inside AI tools. They draft, analyze, and make decisions there every day. Until now, getting trusted industry data into that work meant switching platforms, downloading reports, and copying numbers across by hand.
That changes today. The IBISWorld MCP Server is live and available on Claude and Microsoft Copilot’s connector libraries.
Watch our latest video to understand what IBISWorld’s MCP connector means for your work.
Get the answer where you’re already working
No more toggling between tabs or hunting for the right report. Ask a question in plain language and IBISWorld data appears right in your conversation, properly sourced and ready to use. A credit analyst can pull the story behind an industry risk score without leaving their workflow. A relationship manager can walk into a client meeting prepared in seconds, not hours. The research meets you where the decision happens.
Built on Model Context Protocol (MCP), the open standard for connecting AI tools to trusted data sources, the server does the heavy lifting so your teams can stay focused on the call, the memo, or the deal in front of them.
Trust every answer
AI is only as good as the data behind it, and the first question most teams ask of any AI tool is a simple one: can I rely on this?
With the IBISWorld MCP Server, you can. Every answer is grounded in human-verified IBISWorld research, not scraped web content or the model’s best guess. Our proprietary risk scores, benchmarks, and classifications are preserved exactly as our analysts built them, never invented or reshaped by the AI. And every response cites its source and date, so you can stand behind the numbers you put in front of a client or a credit committee.
Research shaped to the decision you’re making
The same data set serves very different jobs, and the IBISWorld MCP Server understands the difference. Ask it to summarize an industry for a credit memo and you get exactly that. Ask it to benchmark a client’s financials against their industry and it shapes the response for that decision instead. Whether you’re preparing for a call, planning an audit, or screening an acquisition target, the data arrives ready for the task rather than as a generic dump you have to wrangle.
It also surfaces the connections you might not have thought to look for: adjacent industries, supply chain context, and peer comparisons that sharpen the picture.
Connect once, work across your AI tools
MCP is AI-agnostic, so a single connection puts IBISWorld to work across the platforms your teams choose. The server is compatible with Claude, ChatGPT, and Microsoft Copilot today. If different teams use different tools, that’s no problem. IBISWorld plugs into all of them from one place.
From a quick question to a finished deliverable
Most teams start with the chat experience: a question in, a structured and cited answer out, in seconds. It’s the fastest way to feel the value, and anyone can do it on day one.
From there, the possibilities grow. As your AI workflows mature, the server can feed into more advanced, automated processes that help draft documents and populate templates with verified industry data. We’re building these use cases alongside our customers right now, and being early means shaping them around the work that matters most to you.
Be early, with a partner you can trust
There’s no established source doing this for industry research yet, which makes this a genuine first-mover moment. Being live in the Claude Connectors Directory is a concrete milestone, and a signal that this works, vetted by one of the leading names in AI.
The teams figuring out their AI workflows today are setting the standard for how their organizations work tomorrow. The IBISWorld MCP Server makes sure trusted industry intelligence is part of that standard from the start.
Getting started
Setup takes three steps. Add MCP to your IBISWorld license, then install IBISWorld from the connector library and sign in with your existing credentials. Your access stays gated exactly as it is on-platform.
Industry intelligence, embedded in the decision. That’s expert insight that sharpens your competitive edge.
