Meridian AI MCP Documentation
Meridian AI MCP connects your AI agent to your Meridian workspace so you can search your pipeline, relationships, documents, and emails in plain language, without leaving your AI tool.
Meridian AI MCP
Connect your AI agent to your firm’s Meridian workspace — and ask it anything about your pipeline, relationships, and documents in natural language.
Meridian AI MCP is a remote Model Context Protocol server. The Model Context Protocol is an open standard that lets AI agents securely connect to outside systems. This server connects your AI tool of choice to your Meridian AI CRM, so it can search across your deals, companies, people, meetings, emails, notes, documents, and reports on your behalf.
What is Meridian AI MCP?
Meridian AI is the CRM and deal-management platform built for private markets investment professionals. Meridian AI MCP exposes that workspace to AI agents through a single secure connection. Once connected, your agent can answer questions, pull context, and assemble briefs straight from your live CRM data — no copy-pasting, no exports, no switching tabs.
It works with any MCP-compatible client, including Claude (Desktop and web), ChatGPT, Cursor, and other tools that support remote MCP servers.
Why use Meridian AI MCP?
- One-click, secure sign-in — Connect with your firm’s existing single sign-on (SSO). There are no API keys to generate, store, or rotate.

- Your whole workspace, in one place — Pipeline, relationships, communications, and documents, all through a single connection.
- Semantic search built in — Notes, emails, and document contents are searchable by meaning, not just keywords, so you find the right passage even when you don’t know the exact wording.

Supported Tools
These tools read, compose, and — for deals and companies — create and update. The real power comes from combining them in a single prompt. For example, find a deal, pull its interaction timeline, read the relevant passage of its CIM, then log the outcome as a Deal Update, all in one query. The agent chains the calls for you.

Rate Limits
Requests are limited per authenticated user (not shared across your firm) using a token-bucket model — a steady sustained rate plus a small burst allowance for short spikes.
If you’re rate-limited:
- The server returns a standard MCP rate-limit error; wait a moment and retry.
Security Best Practices
Authentication
- Identity-bound — Every request runs as you, with the same organization scope and permissions you have in the app. A token issued for one firm can never read another firm’s data.
- Revoke access anytime — Sign out or end the session in your SSO or remove the connector in your AI client.
Writes
- Attributed to you — Every create and update is written as you and recorded in your workspace’s activity history, so you can always see what the AI changed.
- Safe to retry — An identical repeat is recognized and will not create the same record twice.
