clous
Agents & MCP

Build a sourcing agent in minutes.

Clous exposes a hosted remote MCP server over the same API. Your agent gets typed tools that return resolved entities — no query DSL, one consistent envelope, cursor pagination, and the credit cost surfaced on every call.

1

Get an API key

Sign up and copy your key from the dashboard. Keys look like clous_live_…. New accounts start with 100 free credits (verified companies).

Call typed tools

Every tool returns the same envelope. Every record carries entity_id, confidence, and as_of.

example workflowtext
# "Find new 506(c) raises over $5M in fintech,
#  resolve each issuer's domain + founders."

raises = search_form_d(sector="fintech",       # 5 credits
                       is_506c=True, min_amount=5_000_000,
                       new_only=True)

for r in raises.data:
    entity = get_entity(r.entity_id)           # 2 credits each
    print(entity.domain.value, entity.people)

Discover everything via llms.txt

A machine-readable summary of the product, API base, MCP endpoint, auth, URL patterns, credit costs, and example queries lives at clous.ai/llms.txt. The OpenAPI 3.1 spec generates the docs and the MCP tool schemas, so the three never drift.

Try the tools without writing code

The dashboard playground runs any tool, shows the JSON envelope, and copies the call as cURL / Python / JS / MCP.
