The live web data engine for agents: structured rows, each value with the page it came from.

About

SpecStream is the live web data engine for teams and agents. Your agent asks for data in plain words and gets back structured rows from the live web, each value linked to the page it came from and the time it was read. Save a request and SpecStream keeps it current on a schedule, with every change labeled.

What your agent can ask for: companies and the people who run them, local businesses with their contact details, SEC filings and funding rounds, government tenders and grants, clinical trials, nonprofits, research papers, regulations, job postings and more. SpecStream reads government systems, registries, maps, directories and each result's own website, down to PDFs.

How it works over MCP: compile reads the request back as columns and conditions, so the agent can confirm it with the user first. quote_capacity_work names the most the run can cost, and nothing is spent until the user approves that price with authorize_capacity_work. list_find_rows returns the rows, each value with its source link, and export_find downloads them as CSV, Excel, JSON or GeoJSON. search_workspace finds the user's saved results and records by name.

Pricing: 10¢, 30¢ or $1 per matching row depending on how much each row needs, plus 10¢ for a person's email and 25¢ for a phone. A run that finds nothing costs nothing, and results the user already owns are never charged again. New accounts start with $10 of work free, no card.

Connect: most clients sign in with OAuth when they first connect. A client without OAuth can send a SpecStream API key (workspace, Agents & API) as an Authorization: Bearer header. Setup for Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, VS Code and other clients: https://specstream.ai/docs/mcp
