Affinity is Building the Best MCP for Private Capital

Affinity launched its MCP, enabling your team to securely access and update live CRM data directly from AI tools like Claude, Gemini, and Copilot — no custom integrations or server management required.

It turns Affinity from your system of record into a system of action, grounding every AI-driven output in real, permissioned data.
