v2 MCP Tool Interface

All data fetching uses the universal execute() meta-tool. Always call discover(source, category) first if you need to verify endpoint names or parameters.

Core workflow:

1. execute(source, category, endpoint, params) -- fetch data (returns first page + cache_key)
2. get_page(cache_key, offset, limit) -- paginate through remaining results
3. query_cache(cache_key, conditions, sort_by, aggregate, group_by) -- filter/sort/aggregate cached data without new API calls
4. export_data(cache_key, format) -- export to CSV, JSON, or JSONL for deliverables

Error handling: check response for llm_hint field -- it contains actionable guidance when calls fail or return partial data.

Quick Start

Step 1: Define Research Scope

Choose focus:

• Startup ecosystem: execute("yc", "search", "search", {"query":...})
• Public companies: execute("sec", "search", "search", {"query":...})
• Industry sentiment: execute("reddit", "search", "search", {"query":...}), execute("twitter", "search", "search_users", {"query":...})
• Company intelligence: execute("linkedin", "search", "search_companies", {...})

Step 2: Gather Data

Execute searches:

# Startup research
execute("yc", "search", "search", {"query": "fintech", "batch": "W24,S23"})

# Public company research
execute("sec", "search", "search", {"query": "tech company"})

# Market sentiment
execute("reddit", "search", "search", {"query": "fintech trends"})
→ use get_page(cache_key, offset, limit) to collect up to 100 results

Step 3: Analyze Results

Use query_cache() to slice data without re-fetching:

# Count startups by category
query_cache(cache_key, aggregate={"field": "category", "function": "count"})

# Filter high-engagement posts
query_cache(cache_key, conditions=[{"field": "score", "operator": ">", "value": 50}], sort_by={"field": "score", "order": "desc"})

Extract insights:

• Market size indicators
• Competitive landscape
• Technology trends
• Consumer sentiment
• Funding patterns

Step 4: Synthesize Findings

Use export_data(cache_key, "csv") or export_data(cache_key, "json") to deliver:

• Market opportunity assessment
• Competitive analysis
• Trend identification
• Strategic recommendations

Common Workflows

Workflow 1: Startup Ecosystem Analysis

Scenario: Analyze fintech startup landscape

Steps:

1. Find Startups

execute("yc", "search", "search", {
  "query": "fintech",
  "batch": "W24,S23,W23,S22"
})
→ use get_page(cache_key, offset, limit) to paginate through all results

1. Categorize by Focus

For each startup:
  execute("yc", "company", "get", {"slug": company_slug})

Group by:
- Payments
- Lending
- Investment/Trading
- Banking
- Insurance
- B2B fintech tools

Or use query_cache to group:
  query_cache(cache_key, group_by="category")

1. Analyze Patterns

Identify:
- Hot subcategories (most startups)
- Team size distribution
- Geographic concentration
- Common tech stacks (from job postings)

Use query_cache for aggregation:
  query_cache(cache_key, aggregate={"field": "team_size", "function": "avg"})

1. Research Traction

For promising startups:
  execute("linkedin", "search", "search_companies", {"keywords": startup_name})
  → Check employee growth

  execute("twitter", "search", "search_users", {"query": startup_name})
  → Check social presence and buzz

  execute("webparser", "parse", "parse", {"url": startup_website})
  → Check positioning and features

1. Identify White Spaces

Compare:
- Overcrowded categories
- Underserved segments
- Emerging opportunities
- Geographic gaps

Expected Output:

• 50-100 startup landscape map
• Category distribution
• Funding trends
• Market gaps identified
• Competitive intensity by segment

Use export_data(cache_key, "csv") to deliver the startup list as a spreadsheet.

Workflow 2: Public Company Competitive Analysis

Scenario: Research public competitors in cloud infrastructure

Steps:

1. Find Companies

execute("sec", "search", "search", {
  "query": "cloud"
})
→ use get_page(cache_key, offset, limit) to collect up to 50 results

1. Get Financial Data

For each company:
  execute("sec", "document", "get", {"url": document_url})

Extract:
- Revenue and growth
- Operating margins
- R&D spending
- Geographic breakdown

1. Supplement with Social Intel

execute("linkedin", "search", "search_companies", {"keywords": company_name})
→ Employee count, hiring patterns

execute("linkedin", "company", "get", {"company": company_urn})
→ Company details and strategic messaging

execute("reddit", "search", "search", {"query": company_name})
→ Customer sentiment

Use query_cache to filter sentiment:
  query_cache(cache_key, conditions=[{"field": "text", "operator": "contains", "value": "review"}])

Expected Output:

• Competitive landscape map
• Financial benchmarks
• Strategic positioning
• Growth trajectories
• Market opportunities

Use export_data(cache_key, "json") for structured competitive data.
