Frontier Signal MCP
A read-only MCP server that queries verified AI data-broker buyer programmes and demand signals. It provides tools to list programmes, get programme details, analyze demand mix, retrieve the latest public brief, and view baseline deltas without requiring authentication.
Endpoint and access
No sign-in to connect and list tools. Individual tools may still need a vendor account, credentials, or permissions; check the documented prerequisites.

list_buyer_programmes — List buyer programmes
List verified buyer programmes (and other sources) from a public baseline. Returns name, url, band, referral, categories, status, notes, and type. An empty list means no rows matched — programmes are never invented.

}get_programme — Get a programme
Look up one verified programme by exact or fuzzy name. A miss returns match_kind=none — this tool does not invent a programme.

],
"properties": {
"name": {

}
}

"readOnlyHint": true,
"openWorldHint": false,
"idempotentHint": true,
"destructiveHint": false
}demand_mix — Demand mix
Return hot demand categories recorded on a public baseline. mention_count values are heuristics copied from the JSON cut, not hit counts. This tool never invents additional categories or counts.
{
"type": "object",
"$schema": "https://json-schema.org/draft/2020-12/schema",

"observed": {
"type": "string",

}
}
}{
"title": "Demand mix",
"readOnlyHint": true,
"openWorldHint": false,
"idempotentHint": true,
"destructiveHint": false
}latest_brief — Latest public brief
Return the public Frontier Signal brief markdown for a date. Gated watchlist sections are stripped if present. A brief is never synthesised.
{
"type": "object",
"$schema": "https://json-schema.org/draft/2020-12/schema",
"properties": {
"observed": {
"type": "string",
"description": "Brief date YYYY-MM-DD. Omit for the latest public brief."
}
}
}{
"title": "Latest public brief",
"readOnlyHint": true,
"openWorldHint": false,
"idempotentHint": true,
"destructiveHint": false
}deltas — Baseline deltas
Return deltas_vs_prev (and recheck notes, if any) for a baseline cut. These are the change notes recorded on that JSON file. This tool does not compute new diffs.
{
"type": "object",
"$schema": "https://json-schema.org/draft/2020-12/schema",
"properties": {

"readOnlyHint": true,

"destructiveHint": false
}list_observed_dates — List observed dates
List baseline dates (and public brief dates) available in this checkout. No live fetch is performed.
