answerpool

answerpool_credit_balance

Check the remaining credit balance for your API key.

answerpool_get

RUN ANY of the 137 AnswerPool products by id — this plus answerpool_search_catalog is the main path, and every product is reachable this way. Find an id with answerpool_search_catalog, then pass its inputs as a JSON object, e.g. {"product_id": "weather_alerts", "params": {"area": "CA"}}. Covers SEC filings, fundamentals and insider activity, Federal Register rulemaking, federal procurement and grants, NIH, clinical trials, FDA recalls and adverse events, US macro indicators, weather and severe-weather alerts, known-exploited vulnerabilities, research-topic momentum and entity resolution. Each product's input and output schema is in the catalog entry. Free products need no key; paid ones debit a prepaid credit key and are never charged on failure. Pass sample=true to see a real answer from any product free before paying.

answerpool_list_products

List all AnswerPool products with prices, inputs and when to use each.

answerpool_search_catalog

FIND THE RIGHT DATA PRODUCT. Search 130+ computed products across SEC filings and fundamentals, federal regulation, procurement and grants, NIH, clinical trials, FDA recalls and adverse events, US macro indicators, weather and severe-weather alerts, known-exploited software vulnerabilities, research topics, and cross-domain entity resolution. Returns matching product ids with price, inputs and a free sample_url showing a real answer from that product; pass a product id to answerpool_get. Free.

answerpool_sec_company

One-call SEC snapshot of a US public company: recent filings, indexed events, insider activity, key XBRL facts (revenue, income, cash). $0.02/call.

AnswerPool — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can AnswerPool do?

It exposes 5 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: answerpool_credit_balance, answerpool_get, answerpool_list_products, answerpool_search_catalog, answerpool_sec_company. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →

Is AnswerPool working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 91 of 91 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 240 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

Did AnswerPool ever remove tools?

Yes. credit_balance, funding_signals, list_products, reg_rules and 11 more are no longer exposed — we recorded the date each one disappeared. A tool vanishing usually means a breaking change for anything that depended on it.

How do I connect AnswerPool?

Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.

Does AnswerPool need an API key?

No. AnswerPool completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 5 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is AnswerPool?

It answers our handshake in 240 ms on average, which is faster than 59% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
