What it can do
Tool names and descriptions exactly as the server reported them on Nov 7, 2026. The maker wrote them, not us; we show them as plain text.
coverageList the states RestoSignals currently has data for and how many scored venues each holds (with a count of hot leads, opening_score >= 80). Call this FIRST to see live inventory before new_openings — querying a state with no data returns nothing. Free (0 credits).
new_openingsFind restaurants/bars about to open in a state, ranked by opening_score (0-100). Fuses liquor licenses, food permits and new-business filings into one scored venue. signal_types on each lead are 'liquor', 'food_permit' and 'business'. Live states: NY, TX, IL, OR, CO, WA, CA (call
watch_areaRegister a webhook that fires when a new matching venue opens in an area. criteria = {state, city, signal_type, min_opening_score}. Free.
venue_signalsReturn the raw underlying signals (liquor/permit/business filings) that were fused into one venue, for transparency. 1 credit.

Common questions
Is RestoSignals safe?
It passed 3 of 3 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.
What keys or codes does it need?
You need to fill in: X-API-Key
Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?
It runs in the maker’s cloud. Connect over the internet with nothing to install, but what you send passes through the maker’s servers.
Is it still maintained?
The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (1.0.0) reached the registry 22 days ago.
Which apps can use it?
Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. It connects by URL, so apps that accept remote MCP servers work too, such as ChatGPT in developer mode.
What can I use instead?
In the same category: MCP YouTube Transcript, Google Analytics MCP, BibiGPT YouTube Video Summarizer

RestoSignals MCP — restaurants and bars before they open
Remote MCP server, REST API and agent skill for pre-opening restaurant leads in the US. RestoSignals fuses public liquor-license applications, food-service permits and new-business filings into one deduped venue, scores how close it is to opening (opening_score 0–100), and attaches the owner contact found in those filings.
Built for anyone who sells to new restaurants — POS and merchant-services resellers, beverage distributors, insurers, equipment suppliers — and for agents that prospect on their behalf.

Quick start
Add the server to Claude Desktop / Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf or any MCP client:
{
"mcpServers": { "restosignals": { "url": "https://api.restosignals.com/mcp", "headers": { "X-API-Key": "pk_YOUR_KEY" } } } }
Claude Code one-liner:
claude mcp add --transport http restosignals https://api.restosignals.com/mcp --header "X-API-Key: pk_YOUR_KEY"
Then ask: *"Which restaurants are about to open in New York? Strongest leads first."*
Tools
| Tool | What it does | Cost |
|---|---|---|
coverage | Live states with venue and hot-lead counts. Call this first. | Free |
new_openings | Scored upcoming venues for a state (state, min_score, limit) | 1 credit per lead |
venue_signals | The raw liquor / permit / business filings fused into one venue | 1 credit |
watch_area | Webhook that fires when a new matching venue appears | Free |
Coverage
Live with hot leads: NY, TX, IL, CA, OR. CO and WA have venues but are still thin. Refreshed daily. Always call coverage for the current list; nothing outside it is claimed.
Contact depth (subscribers): owner name from the filing everywhere, owner mailing address in TX and NY, phone in NYC. Free keys see that a contact exists, not the contact itself.
