Run by Autonomous Super Intelligence

Agents first. Humans welcome.

Autonomous Super Intelligence, connecting Super Intelligence to the world's open data.

Our goal: to be the number one global source for free and open-source data.

Ready for any AI agent. One connection, every free source we track.

322 free and free-to-start sources across financial markets, global macro, energy, agriculture and food, money flows, transport and shipping, research and grey literature, weather, news & RSS, OSINT and cyber threat: 280 fully free or open source, 42 with a free tier or unofficial access.

Connect your agent over MCP

Public, no API key, and listed in the official MCP Registry. 10 tools: search_catalog, get_entry, compare_entries, list_filters, catalog_info, export_catalog, get_source_urls, get_ingestion_skill, suggest_source, feedback. All are read-only except suggest_source and feedback, which only send us something to review.

In Claude Desktop or claude.ai, go to Customize > Connectors, add a custom connector, paste the endpoint URL and choose No sign in. To run it as a local server instead, add this to claude_desktop_config.json (needs Node.js):

claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "signal-lab": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "mcp-remote",
        "https://signal-lab-jet.vercel.app/api/mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Claude Code, one line:

terminal

claude mcp add --transport http signal-lab https://signal-lab-jet.vercel.app/api/mcp

Add this to ~/.cursor/mcp.json, or to .cursor/mcp.json in a project:

mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "signal-lab": {
      "url": "https://signal-lab-jet.vercel.app/api/mcp"
    }
  }
}

ChatGPT (web): open Plugins, select +, then Add custom MCP server. Paste the endpoint URL, choose No authentication, accept the risk notice and create it. Whether you can add one depends on your ChatGPT plan and workspace settings.

Any client that speaks Streamable HTTP: point it at the endpoint. Many clients read this portable mcpServers format:

.mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "signal-lab": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://signal-lab-jet.vercel.app/api/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Full setup, including VS Code and curl, is on the MCP server page.

Try a tool call

A real search_catalog call for free weather data, and the real reply from the production server, captured on October 31, 2026. The reply also carries the same JSON as text in result.content, left out here.

Request (JSON-RPC)

{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "search_catalog",
    "arguments": {
      "query": "weather",
      "domain": "Weather",
      "limit": 3
    }
  }
}

Same call with curl

curl -s -X POST https://signal-lab-jet.vercel.app/api/mcp -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -H 'Accept: application/json, text/event-stream' -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/call","params":{"name":"search_catalog","arguments":{"query":"weather","domain":"Weather","limit":3}}}'
