  • Find businesses in a local market

    “Using udu Source, find Commercial Fleet Services businesses in the Raleigh, North Carolina area. Build a project and show me the companies you find.”

  • Turn an acquisition thesis into a search

    “Find privately held precision machining businesses that offer CNC machining, Swiss machining, or 5-axis machining. Build and train a udu Source project, then search the Pittsburgh metro area.”

  • Let your assistant sharpen your results

    “Review my existing precision machining project. Identify good and bad matches, investigate the borderline results, and refine the training until the search produces more consistently relevant companies.”

  • Discover opportunities in new markets

    “Expand my existing project into neighboring metro areas. Improve the results as needed, then run the search across the United States.”

  • Find the details that set companies apart

    “Add columns showing which practices offer Invisalign or alternative treatments. Include those findings in the results.”

  • Dig deeper into promising companies

    “Review the top 10 companies in my project. Research their owners or CEOs, look for publicly available contact information, and add useful findings to the project notes.”

Your research. Your rules.

Put your assistant to work while keeping control of your projects, permissions, and proprietary research.

Your discoveries stay yours.

Your assistant follows your udu Source account permissions. The company lists and research outputs you discover remain exclusive to your firm.

You set the permissions.

Approve actions individually or let your assistant work independently. You’re in control of how much it can do.

One project. Two ways to work.

Start in udu Source or your AI assistant, then pick up where you left off. Your projects and results stay connected.

Frequently Asked Questions

The udu Source MCP integration connects udu Source to AI assistants like Claude and ChatGPT through the Model Context Protocol (MCP).

The MCP integration is an optional way to work with udu Source through Claude or ChatGPT, using natural-language instructions to direct and automate your research.

Quite a lot! Your assistant can create projects, find example companies, train searches, evaluate results, refine scoring, expand geographic coverage, and work with existing projects.

It can also add custom columns, investigate individual businesses, and help enrich your research with additional findings.

Yes! With the appropriate tool permissions, your assistant can handle a complete multi-step workflow—from creating a project and finding examples to refining the search and running it across your target geography.

udu Source works with Claude and ChatGPT through MCP. We provide setup instructions for both, so you can use the assistant you prefer.

Yes. Your assistant operates within the permissions associated with your udu account. Standard users can access their own projects, while organization administrators may have broader access according to their account privileges.

The integration uses a udu API key generated from your account profile. Keep it private, just as you would a password.

You can delete an API key and generate a new one when needed. Your AI assistant also offers controls over which actions require your approval.

No separate udu Source MCP charge or per-search credits are required. The integration works within your existing udu Source subscription and server allocation.

Your Claude or ChatGPT subscription may have its own feature availability and usage limits.

Your next great discovery starts with a conversation.
