Fokals

Fokals MCP server

Market & Company Intelligence for AI agents: what companies will likely adopt next, company health, buying signals and market feeds, from technology, hiring and funding data.

Fokals is a hosted MCP server. Add it to VS Code, GitHub Copilot, Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or any client that supports the Model Context Protocol, and ask about any company or any market. There is nothing to install: this repository describes the server and how to connect to it.

What you can ask

• Likely next. The technologies a company is likely to add next, each with an estimated likelihood and the support behind it, or the likeliest next buyers of a product.
• Company health. A weekly band from signs of distress to breaking out, a distress score and a breakout score from 0 to 100, and the reasons in plain words.
• Buying signals. Each buying topic a company shows signs of, scored every week with the evidence behind it, so you see interest building or fading.
• Feeds. Every buying signal, announcement and website change across all companies from any day on, and the market figures that moved most on a day.
• Markets. Hiring, technologies taken up and dropped, buying topics, traffic and headcount over time, by industry, country or company size.
• Vendor scorecards. How many companies took up a technology and how many dropped it, month by month, with the rivals they came from and moved to.
• Your own lists. Enrich your accounts by website or name, find lookalikes and competitors, or find the companies that look today the way your customers did when they bought.
• One account in depth. Its stack and when each tool appeared, open roles, announcements, funding, headcount, traffic and recent website changes.
• Watches. An email when something changes at the companies you name.

Every record describes a company or a market, with nothing personal in it. Data is refreshed every day.

Get started

1. Create an account at fokals.com/signup. It opens with $1 of credit, with no card and no subscription.
2. Add the server to your client (below).
3. Ask: "Which of these accounts will likely add a CRM next?" or "Find B2B software companies that started hiring this month."

VS Code with GitHub Copilot

Run MCP: Add Server from the Command Palette, choose HTTP and paste https://mcp.fokals.com/mcp. Or add it to .mcp.json at the root of your workspace (or to your user ~/.copilot/mcp-config.json):

{

"mcpServers": { "fokals": { "type": "http", "url": "https://mcp.fokals.com/mcp", "tools": ["*"] } } }

When VS Code offers to authenticate the server, sign in with your Fokals account. To use a key instead, make one on your account page, set it in your environment as FOKALS_API_KEY, and add a header:

{

"mcpServers": { "fokals": { "type": "http", "url": "https://mcp.fokals.com/mcp", "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer ${FOKALS_API_KEY}" }, "tools": ["*"] } } }

GitHub Copilot coding agent

The coding agent connects with a key. In your repository, open Settings, then Copilot, then MCP servers, and paste this into the MCP configuration:

{

"mcpServers": { "fokals": { "type": "http", "url": "https://mcp.fokals.com/mcp", "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer $COPILOT_MCP_FOKALS_API_KEY" }, "tools": ["*"] } } }

Then add your key as a Copilot secret named COPILOT_MCP_FOKALS_API_KEY. To keep the agent to free and lower-cost tools, list them in tools instead of "*", and set a monthly spending limit on your account page.

Pricing

A prepaid balance in US dollars, with no subscription and no minimum. You pay for each company you get and each market question you ask:

• $0.04 for each company in a search or a list you bring, $0.08 for a company found by buying topic and $0.10 for a full profile, with lower prices at volume.
• The same company is free again for 30 days.
• A company that is not found costs nothing.
• A request above $0.25 shows its price first and waits for your yes.
• You can set your own monthly spending limit. Funds last 12 months from the day you add them.

Current prices: fokals.com/pricing.
