Can an AI agent update my Crunchbase lists and deals?
Short answer. Yes, through AgentWeb. As of Oct 22, 2026, the Crunchbase map (version 0.5.0) gives your agent 26 actions on the user's own Crunchbase account: 11 that change things (create lists and smart lists, add companies, export a list, create and update tasks and deals, add notes and tags) and 15 that read first (companies, people, funding rounds, saved lists, the account's plan).

How the login works
The person signs in once on Crunchbase through AgentWeb's hosted login, started with agentweb_start_connection and confirmed with agentweb_poll_connection. Your agent never sees the password. Actions then run on that person's own account, and they can disconnect at any time.
Try it
curl -s https://mcp.agentweb.us/api/execute \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $AGENTWEB_API_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-H "Idempotency-Key: crunchbase-company-1" \
-d '{"domain":"crunchbase.com","action":"get_company","params":{"permalink":"stripe"}}'
Parameter names shown are illustrative. Your agent gets the exact schema for every action from AgentWeb's list_actions tool.
What it does not cover yet
- Deleting lists, deals or notes is not mapped.
Frequently asked questions
Does it use the user's own Crunchbase plan?
Yes. Actions run on the connected account, and get_account shows the plan and what it allows, so the agent can check before promising an export.
What does it cost?
Each completed action costs $0.05, paid from prepaid blocks of $25, $50 or $100 that never expire. Failed actions are refunded.
Which AI tools can use it?
Any agent that speaks MCP or HTTP. Add https://mcp.agentweb.us/mcp as a remote MCP server in Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Codex or Grok, or call the REST endpoint directly.
