Introduction

Ren Systems provides an AI-powered sales intelligence platform designed for dealmakers and client-facing teams in industries like commercial real estate, executive search, private equity, investment banking, and management consulting. The company's mission is to transform professional relationships into deals by surfacing revenue-generating signals from millions of paywalled news and data sources in real-time.

This MCP server exposes Ren's relationship intelligence capabilities, allowing users to access their business network of contacts and companies, retrieve curated news feeds, and prepare for upcoming meetings. The tools are organized into several categories: contact and company lookup, calendar and meeting management, curated alert feeds (Main, VIP, Meetings, and Custom), and targeted news retrieval for both tracked and external people and companies.

Together, these tools help professionals stay informed about the people and organizations that matter most to them, automate research and meeting prep, and identify winnable opportunities before the competition.
