DealCockpit™ connects the AI of your choice to your data room.

“Your deal, your AI, your rules”: French software provider DealCockpit™ is launching its MCP connector, a traceable artificial intelligence integration that requires no data extraction and involves no injection into third-party models.

Paris, 28 May 2026: DealCockpit™, the French provider of virtual data rooms specialising in sensitive financial and legal transactions, announces the launch of its MCP (Model Context Protocol) connector. This feature enables M&A, private equity and restructuring professionals to access their data rooms via the AI assistant of their choice, within a fully traceable environment that complies with the sector’s confidentiality requirements. DealCockpit™ MCP does not change existing habits, but makes them more secure.

In a nutshell

--> What: DealCockpit™ is launching DealCockpit™ MCP, its connector that links a user's AI assistant (Anthropic, OpenAI, or any MCP-compatible model) directly to their secure data room, without extracting the data or copying it elsewhere.
 
--> For whom: Investment banks, private equity funds, M&A advisory firms, corporate lawyers (M&A and restructuring), insolvency practitioners, finance teams.
 
--> Sectors: M&A, private equity, corporate finance, fundraising, restructuring, IPOs.
 
--> Why now: Everyone is already using AI to analyse documents. DealCockpit™ MCP formalises and secures this practice within a controlled and traceable environment.
 
--> Key differentiator: Client data is never used to train AI models. DealCockpit™ leaves the choice of model to the user, at no extra cost.

AI: a blind spot that nobody talks about

Let’s be honest: in the corporate finance world, almost everyone is already using AI on due diligence documents. An auditor receives 150 slides in a data room? They run them through their AI assistant, no questions asked. On both sell-side and buy-side, the phenomenon is real, widespread and largely unspoken. For audit firms, private equity funds and restructuring teams, however, feeding confidential documents into a large-scale training system poses a real risk that is all too often downplayed.

DealCockpit™ MCP: an architectural choice, and above all a philosophical one

Rather than integrating a proprietary AI engine into its platform (which would involve feeding this model with customer data), DealCockpit™ has developed a connector based on the Model Context Protocol (MCP), the open standard championed by Anthropic and OpenAI. DealCockpit™ does not dictate which AI its customers use: Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, or any compatible model. The user chooses their assistant just as they choose the colleague they work with every day: the one they trust. DealCockpit™ provides the tools. The user retains control over the intelligence that orchestrates them.

What DealCockpit™ MCP actually brings to the table

--> Faster preparation: automatically organises the document structure, checks that the data room is complete, and identifies any missing documents before it is made available to buyers.

--> Large-scale reporting: analyses the consistency of documents and detects anomalies in financial, legal or operational data.

--> Buyer interest tracking: identifies browsing behaviour (who viewed what and when) to follow up with the right contacts at the right time.

--> Analysis without extraction: answers questions about the documents in the data room, providing sourced answers on a page-by-page basis, without downloading or copying the files out of DealCockpit™.

--> Speeding up due diligence: summarises a 200-page contract in a matter of minutes, identifying sensitive clauses, off-balance-sheet commitments and legal risks.

--> Enriched audit trail: records every interaction in the activity log. You can see who used the MCP, on which document, and at what time.

A clear stance: what DealCockpit™ is committed to doing and not doing

DealCockpit™ formalises this philosophy in a manifesto published alongside the announcement. The commitments are clear:

✓ Guaranteed European hosting.

✓ GDPR by design (no transfer of data room data outside the EU).

✓ The human always makes the final decision (no irreversible actions without explicit confirmation).

✓ No training on client data.

✓ Full audit trail of AI interactions for regulators and auditors.

✓ Access to MCP features included in the standard package, at no extra cost.

DealCockpit™ does not add AI features simply to tick a box.
DealCockpit™ defines itself as a well-equipped platform, not as an autonomous agent.
The more complex the transaction, the more valuable traceability becomes.
The higher the stakes, the more essential human oversight is.
