I live inside their surface now - using it more than my browser. It feels like home, to the point that I’m annoyed to have to leave. Most often, I’m stepping outside to do external-facing tasks, like researching my leads on LinkedIn or comparing flight options. I want my agents to do these tasks as well.\n\nCurrently, those can’t be completed because their gateway to the world (in-built web search) has limited access. Often the agent also asks to use the browser with a logged-in session, which I’m uncomfortable with.\n\nSo, I built the connector layer that I wish existed.\n\n**Solution:**\n\nClick’s MCP is a single installation that provides your agent with an ever-growing bundle of the best data connectors. The current set of connectors enable new use cases inside the chat, like:\n\n* Lead research \u0026amp; enrichment\n* Researching ad campaigns from competitors\n* Analyzing sentiment around a topic across social media\n* Planning travel with live fares \u0026amp; availability\n\n**Team:**\n\nI’m Aditya, the founder of Click. Previously, I helped build Ethereum, with a vision to create a platform that enables new kinds of applications. \n\nNow, I’m focusing on the next application platform - the AI chat surface. Click builds useful services that meet users right inside the conversation. I’m building one trusted service at a time, and research is the first one.","slug":"SeT-click-research-services-inside-codex-claude","created_at":"2026-08-12T19:00:01.957Z","updated_at":"2026-09-19T06:23:54.229Z","total_vote_count":10,"url":"https://www.ycombinator.com/launches/SeT-click-research-services-inside-codex-claude","share_image_url":"//bookface-static.ycombinator.com/assets/ycdc/yc-og-image-c440a0ad1dacfb86eeeb343717479cc54d256614449b4ef719977a0a451f8bc8.png","company":{"id":32618,"name":"Click","slug":"click","url":"https://www.useclick.ai","logo":"https://bookface-images.s3.amazonaws.com/small_logos/3eb675c91f3464d134cd3d9c18712ad08bea23bb.png","batch":"Summer 2026","industry":"B2B","tags":["Artificial Intelligence","API","Infrastructure"],"search_path":"https://bookface.ycombinator.com/company/32618"}}
