# Browse buyer intent

Returns the companies researching your products on G2 and what they looked at, such as profiles, pricing or comparisons, across one or more of your products.

Note: Needs a G2 Buyer Intent license and the `buyer_intent.read` scope. Without `subject_product_ids` it covers your assigned products; a page holds up to 250 rows.

## Set up

Use the first option your agent supports.

### MCP (official, remote)

Add this server to your agent's MCP settings, then sign in when asked.

```json
{ "mcpServers": { "g2": { "url": "https://mcp.g2.com/mcp" } } }
```

Call the MCP tool `browse_buyer_intent`.

Server URL: https://mcp.g2.com/mcp

### API (official)

- Base URL: https://data.g2.com
- Endpoint: `GET /api/v2/buyer_intent`
- Auth: send the header `Authorization: Bearer $G2_API_KEY`
- Get a key: https://my.g2.com/developers
- Docs: https://data.g2.com/api/v2/docs/index.html

Before anything else, confirm access with the cheapest read-only call, like a list or a search. Never send or change anything to test access.

## Rules

- Ask the user before anything that sends messages, costs money, or changes data, and say how many records it touches. One approval covers a batch the user has seen.
- Never print API keys.
