DataSignals Lab MCP Server: 13 Financial Data Tools for AI Agents

Free MCP server for AI agents: 13 scored financial-data tools in one endpoint - SEC insider, 13F, Form D, 8-K, FDA, Congress and crypto momentum signals.

Give your AI agent live, scored financial and market data with one connection. The DataSignals Lab MCP server exposes the full product suite as 13 callable tools over the Model Context Protocol (MCP), so Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or any MCP-capable agent can pull real SEC, FDA, clinical-trial, government and crypto data on demand - parsed, scored and ready to reason over, not raw HTML.

Get it on Apify - the MCP server itself is free; you only pay the underlying tools' standard $0.20 per result.

Why use this instead of scraping or separate APIs

  • One endpoint, thirteen datasets: a single MCP connection replaces a dozen API integrations.
  • Agent-ready output: every tool returns structured JSON with a transparent score and a link back to the original filing or source, so the agent can verify its own answer.
  • Official sources only: SEC EDGAR, openFDA, ClinicalTrials.gov, USAspending.gov, House Clerk, NIH RePORTER, CoinGecko, Apple App Store. No scraping walls, no personal data.
  • No subscription: the server is free; underlying tools bill $0.20 per result, only when called.

Connect your agent

The server runs on Apify standby and speaks streamable HTTP MCP:

https://datasignalslab--datasignals-mcp.apify.actor/mcp

Add it as a remote MCP server and authenticate with your own Apify token (free account):

  • Claude Desktop / Claude Code: add the URL under Settings -> Connectors (or claude mcp add --transport http datasignals https://datasignalslab--datasignals-mcp.apify.actor/mcp).
  • ChatGPT (Plus/Pro): enable developer mode under Settings -> Connectors, then add the URL as a new connector with your Apify token.
  • Cursor / Windsurf: add it as a remote MCP server in the MCP settings with an Authorization: Bearer <token> header.
  • LangChain / LlamaIndex: both ship MCP adapters that connect to the same URL.

Because your agent authenticates with its own token, usage bills to your Apify account per result - no subscription, no shared keys.

Example

Ask your agent: "Which companies had insider buying clusters this week, and did any of them also file an 8-K?" The agent calls insider_trading_clusters, cross-references sec_8k_events, and answers with scored, source-linked data instead of guessing.

FAQ

Is the MCP server really free?

Yes. The server adds no fee. Each underlying tool charges its normal $0.20 per result through Apify, only when your agent actually calls it.

Which clients work?

Anything that speaks MCP: Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, custom agents via the MCP SDK, LangChain/LlamaIndex adapters.

Do I need an Apify account?

Yes, a free account; the token authenticates your agent's calls.

Is this investment advice?

No. All financial tools return data for research, screening and monitoring. Historical patterns do not guarantee future results.
