Agent Signals MCP — Hiring, SEC Filings, Research Papers, GitHub & News Data for AI Agents

One MCP server that gives your AI agent nine live data tools — company hiring signals (Greenhouse/Lever/Ashby), SEC EDGAR full-text filings, academic papers (OpenAlex), GitHub repositories, Hacker News mentions, Stack Overflow questions, ClinicalTrials.gov trials, US Federal Register documents, and global GDELT news — all returned as flat, citation-ready JSON.

Built on Apify's hosted MCP server: no installation, no hosting, pay-per-result billing through your own Apify account. You only pay for successful results — empty lookups cost $0.
