03// give it to your agent

Copy-paste prompt

Paste this into a coding agent. It connects the superagnt MCP server, finds the tool data_agnt_companies_discover, and runs a first call — with the REST fallback if MCP is unavailable.

You are wiring up the superagnt "Lead APIs" API to use this endpoint: Discover companies.

1. CONNECT over MCP (preferred). No token to paste either way.
   On Claude (claude.ai, the desktop app, or Claude Code signed in with a Claude
   account), the server is a connector: give the user this link, they click Add
   and approve:
     https://claude.ai/customize/connectors/yours?modal=add-custom-connector&connectorName=superagnt&connectorUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fmcp.superagnt.com%2Fmcp&open_in_browser=1
   Any other MCP client (or Claude Code signed in with an API key): add the server
   and let the client run the browser sign-in:
     claude mcp add --scope user --transport http superagnt https://mcp.superagnt.com/mcp
     claude mcp login superagnt
   MCP endpoint: https://mcp.superagnt.com/mcp
   After connecting, the tool you want is named exactly:
     data_agnt_companies_discover
   Call agnt_tools_search or agnt_tools_list_enabled to confirm it is available.

2. REST fallback (if you are not using MCP):
     POST https://api.superagnt.com/companies/discover
     Header: Authorization: Bearer <YOUR_AGNTDATA_API_KEY>
   Required parameters:
    - (none)
   Optional parameters:
    - query (string, optional) — Free-text query (e.g. "AI startups in healthcare"). Combine with `filters` or use alone.
    - filters (object, optional) — Filter object. Supported keys (each is an array unless noted): `industries` (array of industry strings — e.g. ["Computer Software", "Internet"]); `headcount` (string range bucket — one of "1-10", "11-50", "51-200", "201-500", "501-1000", "1001-5000", "5001-10000", "10001+"); `company_type` (array — e.g. ["educational", "government", "nonprofit", "private", "public", "self_employed"]); `technology` (array of technology slugs — e.g. ["stripe", "salesforce"]); `country` (array of ISO-3166 alpha-2 codes — e.g. ["US", "GB"]). Use the keys above exactly as written; flat aliases like `industry` (singular), `headcount_min`, or `headcount_max` are ignored and yield empty results. Example: `{ "industries": ["Computer Software"], "headcount": "1001-5000", "country": ["US"] }`.

3. COST & KEY. This endpoint is metered — pricing varies by request, from $0.01 per call. Only successful calls are charged.

4. TEST. Connect the server (or set the key), discover the tool
   (data_agnt_companies_discover), run one minimal call with just the required parameters,
   and report back the shape of the JSON response (top-level fields).
