Signl MCP tool reference

Every Signl MCP tool: what it does, what it costs, and what is kept in the Signl app instead.

Updated Oct 7, 2026

Signl exposes 30 MCP tools: everything you do day to day, from a conversation. Your agent calls them by name; you do not, but knowing what each does is the fastest way to phrase a request it can answer. Every tool is free to call, on every plan. Signl is priced by the sources you watch, with everyone a source finds and their verified emails included, and no credits: see how plans and fair use work.

Anything irreversible or outbound (sending people, removing a source, deleting an autopilot rule, recording a person's objection) is confirmed with you first. Credentials you paste (an API key for HeyReach, a Clay webhook URL) are stored server-side, never repeated back, and never kept in Signl's own call log.

The tools at a glance

Inbox: get_inbox (with new_only, who engaged since you last asked; otherwise everyone, filterable; ranked by priority, with intent, a reason and an opener), get_person (one person in full, by id, LinkedIn or X URL, or email), edit_opener, dismiss_people (with an optional reason the ranking learns from), restore_people, mark_contacted.

Companies (Pro plan): list_companies (the Inbox grouped by company, with each company's roles, the roles your ICP sells to that nobody there holds yet, and a score) and get_company (everyone from one company and what each said, newest first; send them together with send_people).

Market (Pro plan): get_market_brief (the weekly brief from your ICP people's comments: themes with quotes, pains, objections, competitors named and the exact phrases buyers used) and get_competitor_radar (mentions of the competitors on your ICP per week, share of voice against your own name, spikes, and people unhappy with a competitor who showed a need).

Sources: watch_posts (a LinkedIn profile or post, a topic or company search, an X account or search; lead magnets too), import_from_trigify (moves your Trigify profiles and searches in from an export or a pasted list), suggest_sources (authors whose posts draw your ICP people and phrases they keep using, each with the reason and the people behind it), list_watches (every source, with what its people led to: replies, meetings, deals), update_source (pause, resume, rename, author, lead magnet, reactions, search words), stop_watching (removes).

Outreach tools: list_destinations, connect_destination (with a key or URL you paste; replies and outcomes come back), list_campaigns, send_people.

Autopilot: get_autopilot, set_autopilot, delete_autopilot.

Who you sell to: get_icp (with the values it accepts), analyse_website, update_icp.

Account: get_account (plan, sources used, this month's likers and verified emails, connected tools, ICP, sources, Inbox counts, what the ranking has learned and recent activity, in one call), get_pipeline_report (what Signl made you: replies, meetings, deals and their value, by month and by source; Pro plan), get_upgrade_link (a checkout link for a plan: want is starter, pro or manage for the billing portal, and interval is month or year, with yearly 20% off).

Privacy: record_objection: when a person asks not to be contacted, they are suppressed and erased everywhere. Global and permanent; the agent always confirms first.

Kept in the Signl app

Creating and revoking API keys, Slack alerts, and disconnecting a tool are done in Settings, not by your agent. Each one either grants access to your account or stops something that is running, so it should be a decision you make on screen.

Common questions

Do Signl tools cost anything to call?

No. None of the tools cost anything to call, on any plan and however often your agent calls them. Signl is priced by the sources you watch, not by tool calls or by person. Your plan's fair use on likers and verified emails is used by your sources, not by your agent, and sending people to a tool is included too.

Why can my agent not create API keys or disconnect a tool?

Those are kept in the Signl app on purpose. An API key gives full access to your account and disconnecting a tool stops autopilot rules that send to it, so both are done by you, in Settings, rather than by an agent acting on a conversation.

Where did find_contacts and search_signals go?

The company database tools are off by default since October 2026, so your agent sees one clear product: LinkedIn and X engagement turned into pipeline. If your account relied on them, ask us and we will switch them back on.
