• company_search

  Drillr — The financial MCP for AI agents

  Use for qualitative company discovery (industry, business model, supply chain, competitors, management background). For numerical screening (revenue, margins, ratios, growth rates) use run_sql on company_snapshot instead. Drillr's company knowledge base — searchable across industry classification, product offerings, business model, segment structure, competitive landscape, supply chain, management background, and customer profile. Pass a natural language description (e.g. "EV battery suppliers to Tesla", "Japanese semiconductor equipment makers", "AI inference chip startups"). Returns a structured list of matching companies with context snippets. ONLY for finding a LIST of companies by description.

• scope_reschedule_project

  Scope (Legal)

  Reschedule an already-awarded project to a new date. Use only when the project is in an active engagement state (post-award, pre-delivery). Returns the confirmed new slot and whether the vendor was notified. Disallowed source states return a typed error (project_already_delivered, project_cancelled, invalid_state, project_not_found).

  Connector

• stacks.recommend

  BuyAPI

  Recommends a complete stack from BuyAPI's corpus with a structured decision matrix, cost estimate, assumptions, unknowns, alternatives, and sources. Use this when the user is starting a project or asks for a complete multi-layer stack choice. Do not use this for local coding/debugging/docs questions that do not involve software or vendor selection. Do not call vendors.resolve first; this tool handles retrieval and ranking.

  Connector

• vendors.resolve

  BuyAPI

  First stop for category-specific vendor recommendations and vendor ID discovery. Finds BuyAPI vendor IDs for a user question; provide category when known. Use this when the user asks which provider in a category fits their constraints. With a covered category, the response includes ranked results plus a top-3 decision matrix with fit labels, confidence, tradeoffs, cost notes, freshness, and sources. Do not use this for local coding/debugging/docs questions unless they involve choosing a software vendor or tool. If the category is outside BuyAPI's corpus, the tool returns an explicit "not in corpus yet" result instead of inventing vendors.

• dependency_vulnerability_scan

  gapup-mcp

  SCA (Software Composition Analysis) — scans a project dependency manifest and returns known vulnerabilities for each dependency. Supports: package.json (npm), requirements.txt (Python), go.mod (Go), Cargo.toml (Rust), composer.json (PHP), Gemfile.lock (Ruby), CycloneDX SBOM JSON. PRIMARY source: OSV.dev (keyless, free, covers npm/PyPI/Go/crates.io/Packagist/RubyGems + GHSA advisories federated). CVSS enrichment: NVD NIST (when OSV lacks score). Exploitation flag: CISA KEV (known-exploited-vulnerabilities catalog). Returns per-vuln CVE/GHSA IDs, severity, CVSS score, fixed version, and actionable upgrade recommendations. Relevant for EU NIS2 supply chain risk obligations, DORA, SOC 2 vendor assessments. Cache TTL 6h. Parallel OSV queries (concurrency=10). SLA <=30s p95.

  Connector

• principles.search

  AI Design Blueprint

  Search Blueprint principles by free-text query and return the closest matches ranked by relevance. Use this to find principles related to a specific design challenge, failure mode, or keyword (e.g. 'reversibility', 'approval flow', 'delegation boundary'). Returns principle title, cluster, definition, rationale, and implementation heuristics. Prefer this over principles.list when you have a specific topic in mind rather than wanting all principles.

  Connector

• proximens_oracle_list_categories

  Proximens Oracle

  List all categories used in the Proximens GEO Oracle, with the count of principles per category and a short description. Use this to discover what categories exist before filtering with search_principles. Categories include: technical, structured-data, content, ai-search, freshness, multimodal, user-signals, e-e-a-t, mobile, performance, query-intent, internal-linking, other.

• search_datasets

  Nova Scotia Data Explorer

  Search the Nova Scotia Open Data catalog (data.novascotia.ca) for datasets by keyword, category, or tag. Returns dataset names, IDs, descriptions, column names, and direct portal links. Use list_categories first to see valid category and tag names. Use the returned dataset ID with query_dataset or get_dataset_metadata for further exploration.

  Connector

• principles.list

  AI Design Blueprint

  List all 10 Blueprint principles with stable slugs, titles, and clusters. Use this when you need the full inventory or want every principle in one cluster (pass cluster slug to filter). Prefer principles.search when the user describes a topic, failure mode, or keyword in natural language. Prefer principles.get when you already know the exact slug and need full detail.

  Connector

• get_template_schemas

  RationalBloks

  Get pre-built template schemas for common use cases. ⭐ USE THIS FIRST when creating a new project! Templates show the CORRECT schema format with: proper FLAT structure (no 'fields' nesting), every field has a 'type' property, foreign key relationships configured correctly, best practices for field naming and types. Available templates: E-commerce (products, orders, customers), Team collaboration (projects, tasks, users), General purpose templates. You can use these templates directly with create_project or modify them for your needs. TIP: Study these templates to understand the correct schema format before creating custom schemas.

• colony_list_group_templates

  The Colony

  List pre-configured group-conversation templates. Templates are shapes for common multi-agent setups: software team, research pod, content team. Each has a slug, default title + description, suggested role labels, and an optional starter message that gets pinned at creation. Use ``colony_create_group_from_template`` with the slug to create.

  Connector

• delete_instance

  mcp

  Delete an instance from a project. The request requires the 'name' field to be set in the format 'projects/{project}/instances/{instance}'. Example: { "name": "projects/my-project/instances/my-instance" } Before executing the deletion, you MUST confirm the action with the user by stating the full instance name and asking for "yes/no" confirmation.

• create_use_case
