What the Claude Grasp connector changes for deal teams
Private-market research usually means building a list in one tool, cleaning it in a spreadsheet and chasing contacts in a third place. With this connector, you describe the thesis to Claude and it works inside Grasp for you: it builds tables of companies, buyers or transactions, filters and queries them, adds research columns, pulls profiles and contacts, and exports the result.
A target list from a thesis. A private equity associate asks for software companies in the Nordics above a revenue threshold. grasp_create_table starts the build in the background, grasp_check_job_status reports when it is ready, and grasp_query_table answers follow-up questions with read-only SQL.
An existing list, enriched. A corporate development team uploads a conference prospect list through grasp_import_table, then grasp_add_research_column asks the same custom question about every company on it.
The right people to call. Once targets are picked, grasp_get_company pulls each profile and grasp_search_contacts finds decision-makers at their domains.
What it does not do: Grasp's documentation lists four more tools, such as a company search and a buyer deal history, that the Claude sheet does not expose, so some flows Grasp describes are not reachable here. Access needs an active Grasp subscription with an assigned seat. And nothing runs on its own schedule: Claude only acts while it answers you, so no list refreshes itself overnight. Recurring jobs belong to an automation tool, a different job presented from the Integrations hub.
The vocabulary in one minute
Five words you will see while connecting Grasp.
- Connector
- The link you set up once between Claude and an account you already have, so Claude can work in it while it answers you.
- Tool
- One named action a connector gives Claude. Claude picks the ones it needs on its own; the directory lists them all by name.
- Authorization
- The service's own sign-in screen, where you hand Claude the access it will use. Granted once per person, and you can revoke it.
- Approval
- The confirmation Claude waits for before it goes ahead with something that changes your account, shown in the chat at that moment.
- MCP
- The shared standard connectors are built on: it is what lets an assistant like Claude work with an outside service such as Grasp.
Connect Grasp to Claude in three steps
- 01
Find Grasp in Claude
Open Claude's settings, go to Customize then Connectors, and look for Grasp in the list. On a Team or Enterprise workspace, an Owner or Primary Owner must enable the connector before members can sign in to it.
- 02
Sign in to Grasp
Click Connect on its row, then log in to your Grasp account in the window Grasp opens itself. If the connection ever breaks, use Disconnect and connect again.
- 03
Read the authorization screen
Read the authorization screen before you accept. It belongs to Grasp, not to Claude, and it sets what the access covers: reading tables, changing them, exporting, running research. You can withdraw it later from Grasp too.
The 16 tools, sorted by what they do
Grasp gives Claude 16 tools: 10 that read your account, 6 that change something in it.

What Claude reads (10)
10 toolsTen tools that look at tables, companies, contacts and job status without changing anything.
grasp_read_docs
Opens Grasp's built-in reference on schemas, entity types, source filters, data columns, financials, research columns, SQL, exports and common validation errors, so a request can be checked against what Grasp expects.
grasp_check_job_status
Polls a background job by its identifier. Once the job succeeds, Claude gets the table handles, row and column details and a small preview to show you.
grasp_get_table
Returns a table's metadata: its exact columns and their types, version details, the row count and a short preview. Claude learns the shape of the data without pulling every row into the conversation.
grasp_list_tables
Shows the tables you created most recently, with their source types, row and column counts, versions and links into the Grasp app.
grasp_get_table_rows
Reads rows page by page, with structured filters, one sort order and an optional choice of visible columns, so Claude only brings back the slice it needs.
grasp_query_table
Runs read-only SQL against your Grasp tables. Claude turns your plain-language question into a SELECT statement and answers from the computed result.
grasp_describe_table
Produces aggregate value summaries for the columns you pick, computed across the full table, which gives Claude an overview without fetching rows.
grasp_export_table
Turns a table, or one of its versions, into an Excel file and returns a signed download link. The table itself stays as it was.
grasp_search_contacts
Looks up people at known company domains and returns names, titles, seniority, email or phone where available, and LinkedIn profiles.
grasp_get_company
Retrieves a company profile by its company ID: identity, business, latest financials, employees, a compact ownership view and an acquisition-history summary, with optional sections on similar companies and contacts.
What Claude changes (6)
6 toolsSix tools that build, alter or cancel work in your account. No source describes a confirmation specific to any of them, so the general rule below applies.
grasp_create_table
Approval: see the ruleStarts a company, buyer or transaction table from a single search source. It runs in the background and hands back a job identifier; company and buyer tables come with recent revenue or asset evidence columns by default.
grasp_import_table
Approval: see the ruleBuilds a company table from rows parsed out of a CSV or Excel sheet, matching each company by its website or domain and keeping the columns you uploaded.
grasp_compose_table
Approval: see the ruleAssembles a new table from rows of tables you already have. Each component can pin a version, filter rows and map columns.
grasp_update_table
Approval: see the ruleChanges an existing table version: its workflow, view filters, sort and layout, its name or its description.
grasp_add_research_column
Approval: see the ruleAdds one AI research column to an existing table. The research then runs for every eligible row, answering the same custom question company by company.
grasp_cancel_job
Approval: see the ruleStops a background job before it starts, so a table build or research run that you no longer need never begins.
What Claude asks before it acts
By default, Claude stops and asks for your go-ahead before any action it carries out on an account for you. That covers the six tools that build, adjust, combine, enrich, import or cancel, since no source sets a different rule for them.
On Team and Enterprise, workspace owners decide whether members may let some actions through without being asked each time, and they can limit what a connector may do across the organization, for instance keeping reading open while closing changes. Nobody overrides that from their own account. Claude works with your Grasp rights and nothing more, and Grasp's own permission scopes separate reading tables, changing them, exporting and running research.
Which plans it is available on
None of the 819 sheets in the official directory shows plan availability. Connector by connector, that answer is published nowhere: a real gap in the catalogue.
The general rule is published: remote connectors are open to all users on Claude, Cowork, Claude Desktop and mobile. On Team and Enterprise, an Owner or Primary Owner enables a connector for the organization before members connect. For the current status of this one, check the Grasp sheet in the official directory. On the Grasp side, access also requires an active subscription and a seat.
Where the Claude Grasp connector stops
A connector is not an automation. Claude calls these tools while it answers you; no table rebuilds itself when new deals are announced.
Only Grasp documents this connector; Claude's help center has no article on it. A list of tools is an observed floor, not a promise, since an administrator can open actions no public sheet shows. The partner badge is not a security audit, and Anthropic says on every sheet that it neither chooses the tools a publisher exposes nor guarantees how they behave, so connect it only if you trust the publisher.
