# Introduction

The Standard Metrics MCP is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that connects compatible AI clients to the Standard Metrics API, enabling AI-powered analysis of your portfolio data.

## What you can do

The Standard Metrics MCP server allows compatible clients to access your Standard Metrics data. You can use it to:

* **Analyze portfolio performance**: Get comprehensive overviews of your portfolio companies.
* **Query financial metrics**: Access revenue, growth, burn rate, and other key metrics.
* **Search and filter**: Find companies by sector, performance, or custom criteria.
* **Generate reports**: Create financial summaries and performance analyses.
* **Track trends**: Monitor metrics over time with historical data analysis.

For a comprehensive list of the data you can query, see our [available tools.](/guides/mcp-available-tools)

<Warning>
  When using an MCP client, your portfolio data is sent to the LLM you've configured. Some LLM providers may use this data to train their models. We recommend using an enterprise plan that explicitly opts out of training on your data.
</Warning>
