"Discourse" matching MCP tools:

• search_community

  Heista

  Community-discourse search via parallel.ai with optional platform filtering. Returns synthesized text excerpts plus direct URLs to real Reddit threads, X posts from named operators, Substack essays, LinkedIn posts, Facebook posts. Use for: "what are practitioners saying about X", recurring themes in founder voice, multi-platform discourse mapping, verbatim quotes from named individuals. Per Phase 3.5 empirical A/B (Docs/solutions/architecture-decisions/search-backend-architecture-jun04.md): this tool SOLVES the Reddit/X retrieval gap that perplexity_search fundamentally couldn't fill. Optional platforms[] to restrict (e.g. ["reddit","x","substack"]). Per social-listening-synthesis §3 sample ≥3 platforms per brief.

• dispatch_social_listening_researcher_async

  Heista

  Dispatch to the SOCIAL LISTENING RESEARCHER — multi-platform community-signal interpretation. Use for: "what are practitioners saying about X across platforms / what jargon is emerging in field Y / what is the cross-platform discourse around brand/topic Z". Treats T3 community sources as primary data, distinguishes cross-platform patterns from single-platform noise. ≥3 platforms sampled per brief. Returns: Signal map (Signal / Platforms / Volume / Sentiment + recency) + Per-platform evidence trail + Cross-platform vs single-platform classification + Confidence flag + Sources. NOT for: single-source thematic work (use dispatch_qualitative_researcher) / numerical sentiment effect sizes (use dispatch_quantitative_researcher). ASYNC version: returns { job_id } immediately, the specialist runs durably on a Vercel Workflow (no 300s timeout). Use this version when the specialist is expected to take >90s. Call get_dispatch_result(job_id) periodically (respect wait_ms_hint in the response) until status === 'completed' or 'failed'. Idempotent: same brief + same org reuses the same job_id, so retries don't fan out duplicate runs.

• dispatch_qualitative_researcher

  Heista

  Dispatch to the QUALITATIVE RESEARCHER — thematic synthesis from unstructured text (interviews, reviews, forum threads, customer language). Use for: "what are the 2-3 recurring themes in how D2C founders talk about X / what language is being used around Y / what are the patterns in customer reviews of Z". Every theme carries evidence count, triangulation status, ≥1 verbatim quote, outlier-check note. SOLVES the Reddit/X/Substack named-operator voice retrieval gap that legacy search tools could not fill. Returns: Corpus + Sampling + Coding methodology + 4-axis Themes table + Theme synthesis + Outlier voices + Saturation assessment + Sources. NOT for: quantitative effect sizes (use dispatch_quantitative_researcher) / multi-platform discourse mapping (use dispatch_social_listening_researcher).

• search

  Heista

  General-purpose web grounding via parallel.ai (Vercel AI Gateway). Returns synthesized text excerpts plus structured sources[] with direct URLs. Use for: topic landscapes, entity-deep teardowns, recency-sharp queries, named-vendor lookups, general fact retrieval. NOT for: Reddit/X/community discourse → use search_community. NOT for: numerical effect sizes or methodology-heavy fact-check → use search_research. The agent decomposes the brief into sub-questions BEFORE calling — one focused query per call. Optional after_date (ISO YYYY-MM-DD) for fast-decay topics. Optional max_results 1-20, default 10.

• dispatch_head_of_research

  Heista

  Run a full research workflow via the Head of Research agent. The Head decomposes your brief into specialist sub-questions, dispatches the right combination of 6 specialists (desk, trend, market, quant, qual, social) in parallel via async dispatch, polls them to completion, judges output quality, and returns a structured synthesis. Use for: any source-grounded research request — fact-checking, vendor teardowns, trend assessment, quantitative effect-size analysis, qualitative theme extraction, cross-platform discourse mapping, or any combination. Wall time: 2-5 min typical. Returns: { synthesis, head_session_id, status, event_count, tool_uses, elapsed_ms }. NOT for: non-research requests (writing, coding, casual chat) — respond directly without calling this. Cost: $0.20-1.50 per call depending on brief complexity (specialist token spend + Anthropic session-runtime at $0.08/hr).
