CB Insights from the command line
Private company profiles, funding, investors and markets.
gbrain.io
Private company profiles, funding, investors and markets. GBrain gives CB Insights, and every other application you connect, a command line.
One price for one person: CB Insights and every other application GBrain connects, from a terminal or any AI. Cancel any time.
CB Insights is connected on its own sign-in page, in the browser. A key or a sign-in never passes through the terminal.

The installer is a shell script for macOS and Linux. Read it before you run it.
# Every CB Insights command, once CB Insights is connected gbrainio tool help cb-insights
CB Insights is market intelligence on private companies: more than 11 million company profiles, equity deals, taxonomies and scores, and two decades of technology research. Connected to a workspace, GBrain can answer “who are the five best-funded competitors to this startup, and who backs them?” before a partner meeting.
It needs a CB Insights account, and the connection only reads.
Each terminal reaches CB Insights at the level set for it in the browser: Off, or Read, which only reads, as CB Insights describes its tools. A terminal reads its level and never raises it.
Each of CB Insights's commands stops at 1,000 actions a day on the account it reaches, whichever terminal or AI asks, and starts again at midnight UTC. Only that command stops.
Each command a terminal runs on CB Insights is a row on GBrain's activity log: which terminal, which account, what it did and whether it was allowed, refusals included. gbrainio activity ls --tool cb-insights reads it back.
CB Insights's own server lists its commands only to a terminal that has connected it, so they are not on this page. Once CB Insights is connected, gbrainio tool help cb-insights says what each of them does, and gbrainio tool ls lists them with everything else the terminal can run. Claude Code and Codex run the same commands, at the same level, on the same record.
GBrain reaches CB Insights at its own server, mcp.cbinsights.com. On CB Insights's own pages: its website, how the connection works, its terms of service and its privacy policy.
The GBrain Tools command line works with every other application GBrain connects, each with a page like this one.
Personal is $49 a month for one person. Connect CB Insights in the browser, and say how far each terminal and each AI may go with it. Change any of it, or take all of it back, whenever you want.
