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

One MCP server that gives your AI agent five live data tools — company hiring signals (Greenhouse/Lever/Ashby), SEC EDGAR full-text filings, academic papers (OpenAlex), GitHub repositories, and Hacker News mentions — all returned as flat, citation-ready JSON.

Built on [Apify](https://apify.com/oblanceolate_mandola)'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.

## What your agent can do with it

| Tool | Ask it | Price |
|---|---|---|
| [Company Hiring Signals](https://apify.com/oblanceolate_mandola/company-hiring-signals) | "Is Stripe hiring ML engineers?" — postings from Greenhouse, Lever & Ashby, one normalized schema | $2 / 1,000 results |
| [SEC EDGAR Filings](https://apify.com/oblanceolate_mandola/sec-edgar-filings) | "Find 8-K filings mentioning data breaches this month" — full-text search, filer + CIK + date | $5 / 1,000 |
| [Research Paper Search](https://apify.com/oblanceolate_mandola/research-paper-search) | "Recent papers on LLM evaluation with DOIs" — OpenAlex, citations + venue + year | $3 / 1,000 |
| [GitHub Repo Search](https://apify.com/oblanceolate_mandola/github-repo-search) | "Most-starred agent frameworks updated this week" — stars, forks, issues, last push | $3 / 1,000 |
| [Hacker News Monitor](https://apify.com/oblanceolate_mandola/hacker-news-monitor) | "What is HN saying about our brand?" — points, comments, dates for signal-weighting | $2 / 1,000 |

Every result carries `sourceUrl` + `scrapedAt`, so downstream agents can cite and re-verify. Batched queries are deduplicated and never double-charged. Spend is capped per call with `maxResults`.
