Forage MCP — Web Intelligence & Persistent Knowledge Graph for AI Agents

Forage is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that gives AI agents real-time web intelligence and a self-accumulating knowledge graph. One connection provides 24 tools and 12 multi-step skills: web search, company data, verified B2B emails, local leads, and a graph that remembers everything your agent has ever discovered.

Built on Apify's scraping infrastructure. Powered by FalkorDB for persistent graph storage.

The Knowledge Graph — Your Agent's Memory

Every tool call automatically feeds a private knowledge graph that grows smarter over time. No other MCP server does this.

What makes it different

Feature	Forage Graph	Generic RAG/Vector DB
Entity deduplication	✓ SHA-256 identity	✗ Creates duplicates
Relationship tracking	✓ Typed edges (works_at, located_in)	✗ Similarity only
Confidence scoring	✓ Increases with corroboration	✗ Static embeddings
Provenance (claims)	✓ Who said what, when	✗ No source tracking
Time-series signals	✓ Track metrics over time	✗ Snapshot only
Causal inference	✓ Find what drives what	✗ No causality
Regime detection	✓ Normal / stressed / pre-tipping	✗ No state tracking

Graph tools

Tool	What it does	Price
`query_knowledge`	Search entities by name/type	$0.05
`enrich_entity`	Full profile + all relationships	$0.08
`find_connections`	Path between two entities	$0.12
`add_claim`	Store provenance assertion	$0.05
`get_claims`	Retrieve claims for entity	$0.05
`add_signal`	Record time-series data point	$0.05
`get_signals`	Query metrics over time	$0.05

The graph is persistent — stored in FalkorDB on our infrastructure. Your agent's research accumulates across sessions. The more you use Forage, the smarter it gets.

Email Verification — How It Actually Works

We don't just guess email patterns. Each find_emails call runs a 4-step verification pipeline:

Step 1: Pattern Discovery

Scrape the target domain for email patterns (e.g., firstname.lastname@domain.com). Extract from:

Contact pages, footers, team pages
Press releases, blog author pages
WHOIS records, SSL certificates

Step 2: Candidate Generation

Generate candidate emails using discovered patterns + LinkedIn data. Cross-reference with:

Company employee listings (if public)
Job postings with contact info
Conference speaker lists

Step 3: SMTP Verification

For each candidate, we perform an SMTP handshake check:

Connect to the domain's mail server
Verify the recipient exists (RCPT TO)
Detect catch-all domains (score penalty)
Detect mailboxes that accept then bounce (honeypots)

Step 4: Confidence Scoring

Each email gets a confidence score (0-100) based on:

Signal	Weight	Example
SMTP accept	40%	Mail server accepted RCPT TO
Pattern match	25%	Matches known company format
LinkedIn match	20%	Name matches LinkedIn profile
Source corroboration	15%	Found on multiple public sources

Return format:

{
  "email": "sarah.chen@stripe.com",
  "name": "Sarah Chen",
  "title": "VP of Sales",
  "seniority": "vp",
  "department": "sales",
  "linkedin": "linkedin.com/in/sarahchen",
  "confidence": 94,
  "verified": true,
  "verification_steps": ["smtp_accepted", "linkedin_match", "pattern_match"]
}

What "verified" means

Confidence 90-100: SMTP accepted + LinkedIn match + multiple sources. High deliverability.
Confidence 70-89: SMTP accepted or strong pattern match. Good for outreach.
Confidence 50-69: Pattern-based with partial verification. Use with caution.
Below 50: Not returned (filtered out).

This is not a simple mailserver check. It's a multi-source corroboration pipeline that other MCP servers don't offer.

Web Intelligence Tools

Core Tools

Tool	What it does	Price	Why this price
`search_web`	Multi-source search, deduplicated, ranked	$0.03	Aggregates Brave, Bing, DuckDuckGo + dedup + rank. Cheaper than calling each API separately ($0.03 total vs $0.06+ if you called 2 search APIs)
`scrape_page`	Extract clean markdown from any URL	$0.07	Includes proxy rotation, JavaScript rendering, anti-bot bypass
`get_company_info`	Domain → full company profile	$0.08	Aggregates 5+ data sources: website, LinkedIn, Crunchbase patterns, social profiles
`find_emails`	Verified B2B emails with LinkedIn	$0.10	4-step pipeline above
`find_local_leads`	Local businesses by niche + location	$0.15	Google Maps + enrichment + phone/website extraction
`find_leads`	B2B leads by title/industry/location	$0.25/100 leads	That's $0.0025 per lead. Try finding 100 leads manually.

Skills (Multi-Step Workflows)

Skills chain multiple tools into one call, returning ready-to-use intelligence packages:

Skill	Price	Returns
`skill_company_dossier`	$0.50	Full company profile + 10 contacts with emails
`skill_prospect_company`	$0.75	15 decision makers sorted by seniority + emails
`skill_outbound_list`	$3.50	100 verified leads ready for CRM import
`skill_local_market_map`	$0.80	Up to 60 local businesses with contact info

`skill_competitor_ads`	$0.65	Active ad copy, landing pages, platforms
`skill_job_signals`	$0.55	Hiring trends, open roles, expansion signals
`skill_tech_stack`	$0.45	Technologies used with confidence scores

Limitations

Some sites block scraping — we use proxies + JS rendering, but some sites (LinkedIn, closed social networks) are protected
Email accuracy ≠ 100% — confidence scores reflect real verification, but email addresses can change
Knowledge graph is persistent but not portable — data lives on our FalkorDB instance (not exported yet)
Rate limits — Apify enforces per-account limits; Forage doesn't add extra limits on top
