Connect Buildside to Claude and ChatGPT

Use Buildside MCP to discover founders and products, research public details, and work with your conversations from an AI assistant.

What’s changed

  • Eight focused tools cover discovery, research, private inbox reads, individual text messages, and free usage inspection.
  • Claude and ChatGPT connect through Buildside sign-in and permissions tied to a scoped API key you choose.
  • Existing API credits, monthly allowances, prices, and spending limits apply, with a free synthetic sandbox and no MCP subscription.
  • Keep native confirmation enabled for messages. Automatic tool approval can skip confirmation; retries reuse the same message identifier to prevent duplicates.
