Small online businesses for sale: an MCP database you can query from Claude Code or Cursor
Listings on Acquire and Flippa: asking price, trailing-12-month revenue and profit, category, and whether they sold.
What you can ask
- What does a SaaS with about $20k annual revenue usually list for?
- Which mobile apps were listed recently, and what profit do they report?
- Is anyone selling a subscription-reminder tool?
These are example phrasings. Once connected, ask in plain language; the agent decides which table to query and how to filter.
Example: a real query and what it returned today
Your agent calls the MCP data tool like this (you never write it yourself — you just ask):
data(lib="forsale", args="multiples --by kind")
Median asking multiples (price ÷ annual revenue, ÷ annual profit) by business type, first 8 rows:
| kind | n | med_rev_x | med_profit_x | med_price | med_rev_12m |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| agency | 86 | 1.0 | 2.9 | 500,000 | 514,000 |
| ai | 157 | 1.7 | 3.3 | 9,999 | 22,680 |
| content | 33 | 2.3 | 3.2 | 100,000 | 58,600 |
| ecommerce | 205 | 0.7 | 2.9 | 150,000 | 281,800 |
| marketplace | 35 | 2.3 | 4.4 | 309,000 | 154,000 |
| mobile | 481 | 2.0 | 3.0 | 15,000 | 17,050 |
| other | 66 | 1.5 | 3.2 | 273,695 | 244,700 |
