PopNx MCP’s three pillars

These three are never merged into one score: opinions, measurements and popularity are different things.

What it can do

Tool names and descriptions exactly as the server reported them on Nov 6, 2026. The maker wrote them, not us; we show them as plain text.

  • search_catalog

    Find free and free-to-start data sources (financial markets, global macro, energy, agriculture and food, money flows, transport and shipping, research and grey literature, weather, news & RSS, OSINT, cyber threat), tools and models in the Signal Lab catalog by text and by filters

  • get_entry

    Return one catalog entry by slug, with every field the catalog has for it (limits, coverage, auth, license, licenseNote, source URLs, lastVerified). Get slugs from search_catalog.

  • compare_entries

    Place the catalog's fields for up to 5 entries side by side. Values are the catalog's own; a field the catalog does not have shows Not in catalog.

  • list_filters

    List the values the catalog uses for type, badge, auth, category, domain, license, task, verified and lastVerified, with how many entries have each. Call this first to pick exact filter values.

  • catalog_info

    Return the catalog's notice, schemaVersion, generated time, entry count and the download URLs of the full catalog as JSON and CSV.

  • export_catalog

    Export the Signal Lab catalog as JSON or CSV: every entry, or only those matching the same filters as search_catalog (no result cap). Optional fields picks columns by catalog field name. CSV has a header row, joins lists with "; " and repeats the catalog notice in the last column

  • get_source_urls

    Return where each entry's data comes from: the provider's site, docs and evidence pages, the license or terms URL with the license note, and the lastVerified date, plus the Signal Lab page. Pass up to 25 slugs, or the same filters as search_catalog (all entries if none). A URL th

  • get_ingestion_skill

    Return the agent-ready ingestion skill for one data source as markdown: how to get access, the exact request or download, the response format, a Python snippet that loads it into pandas and writes Parquet (or keeps it in memory where the provider's terms limit storage or leave it

  • suggest_source

    Send us a free or open data source we do not list yet. It goes into a private queue and is checked like every listing (free access, terms, policy); nothing is published automatically and the URL is not visited by this server. Give the provider's own https page (no shorteners, IP

  • feedback

    Tell us what to fix or add: a missing source (new_source), a wrong fact (wrong_fact), a broken link (broken_link), a feature idea (feature_idea) or a site upgrade (site_upgrade). It goes into a private review queue; nothing is published automatically, and reviewed ideas are answe

Common questions

Is Signal Lab: free data for trading and AI agents safe?

It passed 2 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?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

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 (1.3.0) reached the registry 9 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?
