What is the IBISWorld MCP Server and how does it work with ChatGPT?
The IBISWorld MCP Server connects ChatGPT directly to IBISWorld's research database using Model Context Protocol, an open standard for linking LLM platforms to external data. Once connected, you can ask ChatGPT questions in natural language and get IBISWorld data pulled straight into your conversation, properly sourced and citable.
What kind of IBISWorld data can I access through ChatGPT?
You can reach IBISWorld's full research coverage across 50,000 plus industries, including revenue and employment statistics, financial ratios, risk scores, cost structures, trade data, and analyst-written insights. This includes national, provincial, and state-level industry research, company reports, procurement research, and segment benchmarking, depending on what's included in your membership.
Does connecting IBISWorld to ChatGPT share my data with OpenAI?
No. Authentication runs through your existing IBISWorld credentials, and the connector only pulls IBISWorld research into your ChatGPT conversation when you ask for it. Your IBISWorld access and permissions stay exactly as they are on the platform today.
How do I connect IBISWorld to ChatGPT?
You'll need MCP added to your IBISWorld license, then the connector enabled in ChatGPT and signed in with your IBISWorld login. Your ChatGPT admin may need to handle setup depending on your organization's account structure.
