search_available_datasetsLABSCO SUMMARY
Connect to a profile, not the whole catalogue.
The full catalogue is about 86,000 tokens of definitions before you type anything, and most clients get worse at picking a tool past roughly 50. Cursor is harder still: it caps MCP tools at 40 and silently ignores the rest, so an unscoped connection there hides most of the catalogue with no error. Start on ?profile=starter, which loads 16 hand-picked tools spanning every major domain, and widen with ?groups= once you know what you need.
What it is
A hosted MCP server that puts government, regulatory, market, compliance, healthcare and risk data behind a single Streamable HTTP endpoint and one bearer token, instead of a vendor account per source.
What you get
- 290 tools across 59 live data domains by the README's count, from one connection; its docs name 11 of them
- Compliance and due diligence: sanctions screening across OFAC SDN, UN, EU and BIS DPL, plus federal courts, SEC EDGAR, FEC, IRS nonprofits and USAspending
- Markets, macro and risk: equities and options, crypto, US Treasury FiscalData, FRED, BLS, World Bank, EIA, NREL, Zillow, FEMA, USGS and NOAA
- Security and health: CVE, CWE, EPSS and CISA KEV, supply-chain intel across NPM, PyPI, cargo and GitHub, OpenFDA, NPPES and ClinicalTrials.gov
- Representative tools include
sanctions_screen,court_search,sec_company_filings,stock_quote,fred_series,cve_lookup,property_lookup,fmcsa_carrier_lookupandweather_current search_available_datasetsandlist_tool_groupsload on every profile and cost no credits, so an agent can discover the rest of the catalogue from inside a narrow connection
Requirements
Nothing to install: add https://livedatalink.ai/mcp?profile=starter to your client with an Authorization: Bearer header. Free keys arrive by email and include 1,000 queries a month at 5 requests a minute; Starter is $10/mo for 5,000 at 30 req/min and Pro is $49/mo for 50,000 at 120 req/min, with hard caps rather than overage. For stdio-only clients the repo ships a Dockerfile that bridges through mcp-remote, and npx mcp-remote does the same without Docker. tools/list works with no key at all.
Setup effort
Paste a URL with a key — add the endpoint to your client
USE CASES
Running a sanctions and due-diligence check on a counterparty
Screen against the sanctions lists, then pull court records and federal award history for the same name.
Replacing several data subscriptions with one connection
One endpoint, one token and one invoice across markets, regulatory, health and risk sources.
Finding out whether a dataset is covered at all
Ask the free discovery tool before assuming you need another vendor.
Checking a vulnerability against your dependency list
Look up the CVE and the supply-chain data for the package in the same session.
11 tools
Listed in project docs. Your client may show a different list.
