Overview

The Starbridge MCP brings your bridges, feed, signals, and buyer research directly into any AI environment that supports the Model Context Protocol. Plug Starbridge into your existing agents, skills, and workflows in minutes — every draft, digest, and prep doc grounded in live Starbridge data. Use the Starbridge MCP to:
  • Ground pre-meeting and outbound prep agents in live Starbridge signals and contacts
  • Pull bridge data into your favorite tool to build vendor-presence maps, attribute breakdowns, or other buyer insight visualizations
  • Surface Starbridge data in places like Slack or wherever your team works today — on a scheduled cadence that fits your workflow

​
Install the MCP

The Starbridge MCP installs as a plugin or custom connector in any client that supports MCP with OAuth.
For Claude, we recommend installing the Starbridge plugin. The plugin bundles the full set of Starbridge skills alongside the MCP itself, so Claude has everything it needs to leverage Starbridge to its fullest.
1

Add the Starbridge plugin marketplace

In Claude, go to Customize → Plugins. In the Personal plugins section, click +, choose Add marketplace, then Add from a repository, and enter the Starbridge plugin repository:
2

Install the Starbridge plugin

Click Browse plugins, find Starbridge, and click Install.
3

Connect the Starbridge MCP

After installing the plugin, click Manage, navigate to the Connectors section, and connect the Starbridge MCP connector. You’ll authenticate into your Starbridge account with the same credentials you use for the Starbridge web app.
If installing the plugin isn’t feasible, you can install the MCP independently. Go to Customize → Connectors, add the connector URL below as a custom connector, and authorize with your Starbridge credentials:

What’s supported

Everything you need to bring Starbridge into your agents:
  • Bridges — pull rows and data from every bridge in your workspace.
  • Feed — pull your Starbridge feed, automatically tailored to your territory if one is set, and set the status of feed signals (Actioned, Starred, and more) right from your AI environment.
  • Buyer signals & summary — pull recent signals for any buyer alongside their summary. Ideal for pre-call research.
  • Buyer contacts — pull verified contacts at a buyer directly from Starbridge.
  • Deep buyer research — run one-off research across meetings, purchases, and RFPs that Starbridge has — even outside your existing bridges.
The feed isn’t just read-only through the MCP: you can both see the signals in your feed and set their status (Actioned, Starred, and more), enabling an end-to-end feed workflow — from reviewing signals to acting on them — without leaving your AI environment.

​
Contacts and credits

Starbridge offers verified contacts with emails and phones. The MCP surfaces these verified contacts directly in your AI environment. Contacts in the MCP work on a simple locked/unlocked model:
  • A contact is unlocked if your organization has previously enriched it — whether through a bridge or in a previous MCP session. Unlocked contacts are fully accessible through the MCP at no additional credit cost.
  • A contact is locked if your organization hasn’t enriched it yet. Locked contacts are visible in search results with their title and buyer, but name, email, and phone are not revealed until the contact is enriched. Enriching a locked contact costs 2 credits and makes the full contact details available.
Every contact your organization enriches is available to everyone on your team — you’ll never be charged twice for the same contact.

​
Enriching contacts in the MCP

When you search for contacts through the MCP, any previously enriched contacts are returned immediately. For locked contacts, your AI assistant will show what contacts are available and offer to unlock and enrich them before surfacing the full details. You can unlock contacts one at a time or in bulk. For large requests (more than 20 contacts at once), your AI assistant will always check in to confirm the bulk action. If you have a personal credit limit set by your admin, you’ll see that context surfaced alongside the enrichment option. Your admin can raise this credit limit at any time.

​
Other ways to enrich contacts

Contacts can also be enriched by running a Contacts Bridge, Job Changes Bridge, or Enrich Contact column in a Bridge. Any contact your organization has already enriched through a bridge will appear as unlocked in the MCP, and any contact your organization has already enriched in the MCP can be surfaced in a bridge at no additional credit cost. Learn more about credits in How Do Credits Work?.

​
Not yet supported

The following are on the roadmap but not yet available:
  • Creating or editing bridges. Aside from setting feed signal status, the MCP is read-only today — bridges should be created and edited inside the Starbridge app.
  • Territory- or TAM-wide analysis without a bridge. MCP analysis is scoped to a single buyer or small set. For full territory or TAM breadth, build a bridge in Starbridge first, then consume it via the MCP.

Where to start

For ready-to-adapt prompts across every capability, see Sample Use Cases.

Augment your prep skills

Add MCP calls to your pre-meeting or outbound email prep agents — every draft grounded in live Starbridge signals and contacts.

Visualize your bridges

Pull bridge data into your favorite tool to build vendor-presence maps, attribute breakdowns, or other buyer insight visualizations.

Consume Starbridge where you live

Build custom digests to surface Starbridge data in places like Slack or wherever else your team works today — use a scheduled task to pull fresh data through the MCP on a cadence that fits your workflow.

FAQ

Any Starbridge user with an active seat can connect the MCP using their existing credentials. Data access through the MCP respects the same territory and permission scopes as the Starbridge web app.
Mostly — the Starbridge MCP is read-only, with one exception: you can set the status of feed signals (Actioned, Starred, and more) directly through the MCP. Other write actions, like creating or editing bridges and bulk actions such as contact enrichment, must be done inside the Starbridge app.
Any MCP-compatible client that supports OAuth, including Claude (desktop & web), ChatGPT, Cursor, Cline, and Goose.
