Alternativespe MCP server

alternativespe-mcp

An MCP server for the Alternatives Partner API v3 (altdmp.io) — read-only programmatic access to private-market data across Southeast Asia (funded companies, investors, funds, people, service providers).

Features

• Handles the API-key → bearer-token exchange automatically, with token caching/refresh.
• Exposes each list endpoint with the full POST filter tree (all/any/not + operators), plus search, ordering, limit, offset.
• Detail-by-UUID tools for every core entity.

Tools

Setup

npm install
npm run build

Set your API key (obtain credentials from support@alternatives.pe):

export ALTDMP_API_KEY=your_api_key_here

Usage with Claude Desktop / Claude Code

Add to your MCP config (e.g. claudedesktopconfig.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "alternativespe": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/absolute/path/to/alternativespe-mcp/dist/index.js"],
      "env": {
        "ALTDMP_API_KEY": "your_api_key_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Or, for local development without building:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "alternativespe": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["tsx", "/absolute/path/to/alternativespe-mcp/src/index.ts"],
      "env": { "ALTDMP_API_KEY": "your_api_key_here" }
    }
  }
}

Filtering

filters is forwarded verbatim as the API's filters body. Combine logical groups with conditions:

{
  "filters": {
    "all": [
      { "op": "eq", "field": "domicile_country_iso_alpha3", "value": "SGP" },
      { "op": "gte", "field": "latest_valuation_usd", "value": 50000000 },
      { "any": [
        { "op": "eq", "field": "is_raising_now", "value": true },
        { "op": "in", "field": "themes_keys", "value": ["themes_payments"] }
      ]}
    ]
  },
  "limit": 50,
  "ordering": "-latest_valuation_usd"
}

Operators: eq, in (array), gt, gte, lt, lte, range (2-element array), contains, isnull. Logical groups: all (AND), any (OR), not (negate).

Use getreferencedata to discover valid field enum values.

Notes

• Rate limit: 320 requests / rolling 60-second window (enforced by the API).
• Subscription tiers: Atlas (all endpoints) and Allocate (excludes funds and allocator commitments).
• Tokens are valid for 24 hours; this server refreshes them automatically.
