MCP server is live

Give your agent live web access in one config line.

DataSonar ships a Model Context Protocol server. Drop it into Claude Desktop, Cursor, Continue, or any MCP-compatible runtime, and your agent can scrape any page, enrich any domain, and walk any site — without writing tool code. 

// ~/.claude_desktop_config.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "datasonar": {
      "command": "datasonar-mcp",
      "args": ["--api-key", "osk_..."]
    }
  }
}

Drop-in for Claude Desktop, Cursor, and Continue

One JSON entry in the MCP config and Claude knows how to read the public web — fetch any URL, return clean structured data, hit vertical actors for protected sites. No glue code on your side.

HTTP transport for remote agents

Run the server as an HTTP service and any MCP-compatible runtime can call it. Same tool surface, deployable anywhere your agent already runs.

Eight tools, one config

Scrape, extract, intel, crawl, four vertical actors, and email verification — exposed as Model Context Protocol tools with clean argument schemas. Your agent picks the right one for the question.

Bring the live web to any model

Works with Claude, GPT, Gemini, Mistral, and any agent runtime that speaks MCP. No model-specific code paths, no per-provider plugins.

What agents do with DataSonar MCP

Research agents

Give an agent a question. It picks scrape, intel, or actor calls on its own and synthesizes the answer with live web data.

Sales agents

An SDR-style agent enriches every inbound lead with tech stack, email verification, and company signals — all via MCP tool calls.

Coding copilots in your IDE

Cursor or Continue calls DataSonar to pull docs, GitHub issues, or third-party API examples on demand. Less context switching.

Internal knowledge agents

Plug DataSonar into your company's Claude or ChatGPT Enterprise so employees can answer questions grounded in current public information.

MCP questions

What is MCP? ▾
Model Context Protocol is an open standard from Anthropic for connecting AI agents to external tools, data sources, and services. An MCP server exposes a set of tools; an MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Continue, custom agents) calls those tools when the model decides it needs them.
Which agents and IDEs support MCP today? ▾
Claude Desktop, Cursor, Continue, Zed, Windsurf, and a growing list of agent frameworks (LangGraph, OpenAI Agents SDK with MCP bridge, Mastra, Vercel AI SDK). If your runtime speaks MCP, DataSonar plugs in.
Do I need a paid plan to use the MCP server? ▾
No. The free tier covers 1,000 MCP-driven calls per month. Use it on your laptop or in a personal agent setup at no cost. Paid plans cover production deployment.
Does the MCP server run locally or do I host it? ▾
Both modes are supported. Run it locally via stdio for personal Claude Desktop use, or host it as an HTTP service for shared agent deployments. The HTTP mode includes authentication so multiple agents can share one server safely.
Can I limit which tools the agent has access to? ▾
Yes. Pass --enable-tools scrape,intel or --disable-tools actor.amazon on startup to scope the surface. Useful for agents that should only do research, not e-commerce extraction.
How does this compare to OpenAI function calling? ▾
MCP is a transport-level protocol; function calling is a per-model schema convention. With MCP, any agent runtime can use the same tool definition without rewriting it per provider. DataSonar exposes both — MCP for tool-native runtimes, plus OpenAPI specs that work with OpenAI function calling, Anthropic tool-use, and Gemini function declarations.
Is there a hosted MCP endpoint I can use without installing anything? ▾
Yes for Business and Enterprise plans. We host an authenticated MCP endpoint at https://mcp.datasonar.dev that you can register directly with any MCP-compatible client. Contact sales for access.
Can the agent call MCP tools in a loop? ▾
Yes. Tools return structured JSON that the agent can chain — scrape a sitemap, then crawl every URL in it, then intel each domain. The rate-limit budget is per-API-key, not per-tool, so loops respect your plan limits automatically.
