# How can I look up startup revenue from ChatGPT, Claude or Cursor?

> Connect the ShowMRR MCP server, https://showmrr.com/api/mcp, to your assistant. It is free, read-only and needs no sign-in or key. Then ask, for example, for the top SaaS startups by MRR. Every figure comes back with its verification status and a link to the startup's public ShowMRR page.
