Datahyena is a company-event signal API: funding rounds, acquisitions, executive moves, companies, and investors. 1. Read https://datahyena.com/agents.md for the integration guide and https://datahyena.com/auth.md for authentication. 2. If this client supports MCP, add the remote server https://api.datahyena.com/mcp (Streamable HTTP; I will authorize via OAuth in the browser; no API key needed). 3. Otherwise use the REST API at https://api.datahyena.com/v1, reading my key from the DATAHYENA_API_KEY environment variable and sending it in the X-API-Key header. If it is not set, do not ask me to paste the key into chat; tell me to create one at https://app.datahyena.com (50 free credits, no card), set DATAHYENA_API_KEY, and resume. 4. Verify the setup by fetching three recent funding events and summarizing them with their sources. ``` Paste into Claude, Cursor, or any agent[agents.md](https://datahyena.com/agents.md)[auth.md](https://datahyena.com/auth.md) Works with Claude Code Cursor Codex Gemini and any MCP client Why MCP-native ## Built for AI agents, not chat plugins. Most AI integrations wrap a chatbot around an API. MCP is the open standard your agent already speaks, so your data is a first-class tool surface. Native, not a wrapper ### Your AI calls tools, not a scraper MCP is a real protocol. Your agent sees typed inputs, structured outputs, and clear scopes, not a black-box plugin poking at a dashboard. 6 tools · typed schemas OAuth-scoped ### Authorized, scoped, revocable A one-time OAuth 2.1 + PKCE flow issues a workspace-scoped token. Read scopes are granted per resource and revocable from the dashboard any time. PKCE · per-workspace tokens Any MCP client ### Works wherever your AI lives Claude, Cursor, Codex, Gemini, and anything else that speaks MCP. No SDK to install, no API wrapper to maintain. Streamable HTTP · spec-compliant ## Six tools, one per endpoint. Each tool maps directly to a public API endpoint, with the same filters and the same typed response. Your agent gets clean records back, not a screen to scrape. ` funding_events ` New funding rounds with company, investors, amount, and round. Filter by round, amount, country, or industry. ` acquisitions ` Acquisitions and mergers with acquirer, target, deal value, and payment type. ` exec_moves ` Executive appointments, promotions, departures, and transitions with person, company, and seniority. ` companies ` Company records. Search by name, domain, country, industry, employee bucket, or founded year. ` investors ` Investor records. Search by name, type, country, or domain. ` company_timeline ` One company's full timeline: funding, acquisitions, and executive moves, plus firmographics and investors. Resolve by id, domain, name, or LinkedIn URL. ## Just ask. Real prompts your team can run the moment you connect. The agent picks the tool, applies the filters, and hands back clean records. › > Show me Series A and B rounds in fintech from the last week, US and UK only, over $10M. calls funding_events › > Any acquisitions in devtools this month?

The essentials before you connect. What is MCP? The Model Context Protocol is an open standard that lets AI clients call external tools. Datahyena exposes its data as MCP tools, so your agent can query company-event signals directly instead of you copy-pasting from a dashboard. Which AI tools are supported? Any MCP-compatible client, including Claude, Cursor, Codex, and Gemini. Connection is a remote server URL plus a one-time browser authorization. Is MCP access included in my plan? MCP is available on every plan, including the free tier. It uses the same credits as the API: one credit per record returned. What can my agent do? Read-only access to the same data as the REST API: funding events, acquisitions, executive moves, companies, investors, and a single-call company timeline, with the same filters and response shape. How does authentication work? OAuth 2.1 with PKCE. You authorize a client once to a specific workspace, and you can revoke that connection any time from the dashboard. Do I still need the API? MCP is the conversational front door. For production pipelines, use the REST API or webhooks. They share the same records and credit model. ## Start pulling signals in minutes.
