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
Advertised by the server during the last successful anonymous check.
Advertised read-only

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.

list_buyer_programmes input schema
{
  "type": "object",
  "$schema": "https://json-schema.org/draft/2020-12/schema",
  "properties": {

    },

get_programme — Get a programme
Advertised by the server during the last successful anonymous check.
Advertised read-only

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

demand_mix — Demand mix
Advertised by the server during the last successful anonymous check.
Advertised read-only

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.

latest_brief — Latest public brief
Advertised by the server during the last successful anonymous check.
Advertised read-only

Return the public Frontier Signal brief markdown for a date. Gated watchlist sections are stripped if present. A brief is never synthesised.

}
deltas — Baseline deltas
Advertised by the server during the last successful anonymous check.
Advertised read-only

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.

list_observed_dates — List observed dates
Advertised by the server during the last successful anonymous check.
Advertised read-only

List baseline dates (and public brief dates) available in this checkout. No live fetch is performed.

90-day uptime

A lightweight connection check about every six hours, sampled on hosts with many listings. It shows the server answered, not that its tools work.

Too few checks for a percentage yet (1 of 1 answered).

  1. 2026-11-07: 1 of 1 checks answered

30-day availability

Aggregated from read-only remote checks; this is not a tool-execution or security guarantee.

Connect from your client

Each snippet registers the same endpoint; pick the client you use.

This server is operated by the named third party. Listing and endpoint checks are not an endorsement or a security audit. Review the operator's permissions, terms, and data handling before connecting. How listings are checked and corrected.

Claude Code

Run this once in a terminal. It registers the remote server. Use --scope project to write .mcp.json for the repo.
Claude Code configuration
claude mcp add --transport http frontier-signal-mcp https://mcp.velab.org/mcp

Codex

Run this once. Codex stores MCP servers in ~/.codex/config.toml (or .codex/config.toml in a trusted project).
Codex configuration
codex mcp add frontier-signal-mcp --url https://mcp.velab.org/mcp

Cursor

Merge this server into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, then enable frontier-signal-mcp in your MCP settings.
Cursor configuration
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "frontier-signal-mcp": {
      "url": "https://mcp.velab.org/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Cline

Merge this into cline_mcp_settings.json (Cline → MCP Servers → Configure).
Cline configuration
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "frontier-signal-mcp": {
      "type": "streamableHttp",
      "url": "https://mcp.velab.org/mcp",
      "disabled": false
    }
  }
}

VS Code

Merge this server into .vscode/mcp.json. Use MCP: List Servers to start frontier-signal-mcp and inspect its tools.
VS Code configuration
{
  "servers": {
    "frontier-signal-mcp": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.velab.org/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Gemini CLI

Run this once. It writes .gemini/settings.json in the current project; pass --scope user for ~/.gemini/settings.json.
Gemini CLI configuration
gemini mcp add --transport http frontier-signal-mcp https://mcp.velab.org/mcp

Claude Desktop

Open Claude Settings > Connectors > Add custom connector, enter this server URL and enable it for the conversation. This is a manual remote-connector handoff, not a desktop JSON configuration.
Claude Desktop configuration
https://mcp.velab.org/mcp

Windsurf

Merge this into ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json, then refresh MCP in Cascade. Windsurf remote servers use serverUrl, not url.
Windsurf configuration
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "frontier-signal-mcp": {
      "serverUrl": "https://mcp.velab.org/mcp"
