# Small online businesses for sale: an MCP database you can query from Claude Code or Cursor

Updated daily, last 2026-11-12 · MCP `data` · lib `forsale`

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 |
| saas | 1151 | 2.4 | 3.5 | 15,000 | 27,480 |

## How fresh the data is

This is today’s output of `coverage` (row counts and date ranges per table):

| source | n | open | won | gone | first_seen |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| flippa | 1513 | 1173 | 250 | 90 | 2026-11-01 |
| acquire | 1300 | 1243 | 0 | 57 | 2026-11-01 |
| built_at | 2813 |  |  |  |  |

## Limits: what this data cannot tell you

Numbers are seller-reported and asking price is not sale price; daily collection started on 2026-11-01.
