signalis-mcp

MCP server for Signalis — pay-per-call global intelligence for AI agents. Read the current Master Intelligence digest (narratives, signals, markdown analysis), poll for new digests, and drill into the AI-business Pulse layer: active narratives with lifecycle stage and momentum, per-narrative detail with source attribution, historical narrative digests, and raw scraped content. Pay per call with USDC on Base via x402 — no signup, no accounts, no API keys.

• 5 free tools — no wallet, no API key (incl. digest feedback).

• 5 paid tools — flat per-call USD prices, settled in USDC on Base Mainnet via x402.

Try before you pay: the free get_sample tool returns a recent digest so you can learn the exact response shape first.

Quick start

Free tier (no wallet)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "signalis": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "signalis-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

You get get_brief, get_index, get_sample, get_latest, submit_feedback.

Paid tier (with wallet)

Add an EVM wallet private key (0x-prefixed) that holds USDC on Base Mainnet:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "signalis": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "signalis-mcp"],
      "env": { "PRIVATE_KEY": "0x..." }
    }
  }
}

The paid tools then settle each call automatically.

How payments work (x402)

Signalis speaks the x402 exact scheme. The API's 402 advertises a Base (USDC, EIP-3009) rail; this MCP settles on Base:

1. The MCP requests a paid endpoint. With no payment, the API replies HTTP 402 with the accepted terms.

2. If PRIVATE_KEY is set, the MCP settles the call via the standard @x402/fetch V2 client and retries. If no key is set, the MCP returns the 402 price terms so you can see the cost without paying.

3. The API returns the data plus a payment block.

Compute-first, settle-after: Signalis computes the full answer before charging, so you are never billed for an error.

No accounts, no API keys — just a wallet with USDC on Base Mainnet.
