MCP tool

compare_deal_to_buyer_profile

Compare deal to buyer profile

Compare a target acquisition against the authenticated buyer's saved Capbench criteria (industry, geography, revenue range, liquidity) and report alignment, gaps, and an SBA-fit read. Requires connection.

Input

Field	Type	Notes
purchase_price	number	Total purchase price of the target business.
sde	number	Seller's discretionary earnings (or pass ebitda).
ebitda	number	EBITDA, if used instead of SDE.
state	string	Two-letter US state code.
industry	string	Industry or business type.
buyer_cash_available	number	Override the buyer's cash from their profile.
revenue	number	Target business annual revenue.

Output

Personalized results computed from the authenticated user's own saved Capbench buyer profile (and any deal facts passed). Read tools return analysis; write tools confirm the change. Until the user connects Capbench, the tool returns an authentication/connect prompt instead.

Example response

Every result is wrapped in the standard CapBench envelope — same canonical_url, data_freshness, methodology, source_summary, caveats, and citation as the REST API.

Caveats

Requires the user to connect Capbench in ChatGPT (OAuth). Write tools also require explicit user confirmation (user_confirmed: true).
Estimates are heuristics from public SBA benchmarks plus the buyer's profile — not a credit decision or SBA eligibility determination.

Continuation URL

If the user isn't connected, the result asks them to connect Capbench in ChatGPT; if connected without a profile, it routes them to create one.

Lead & consent

Lender introductions and profile writes require explicit confirmation; sharing a profile with lenders is a separate, logged consent.
