Endpoint Security57
Transport & Reachability100
Schema Quality & AI Usability69
  • AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).Pass
  • Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 11780 tokens (~193/item across 61 items; 61 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params. See how to fix → Fail
  • Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples. See how to fix → Fail
Stability & Change Management100
  • No destabilizing schema changes in the last 30 days.Pass
Tool Coverage100
  • 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
  • 100% of tool parameters carry a description.Pass
  • Structured output schemas are declared (100% of tools); any adoption earns full credit.Pass
Tool Safety75
  • No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.Pass
  • 0 of 10 tool(s) whose name or description implies an irreversible operation declare an MCP destructiveHint annotation; "delete_job" implies "delete" and declares no destructiveHint at all, which the MCP spec reads as destructive by default. See how to fix → Fail
  • An AI judge read all 62 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.Pass
Capabilities100
  • Implements a current MCP spec version (2026-07-28).Pass
Install

How do I install the CatchAll MCP server?

CatchAll is a hosted endpoint at https://catchall-mcp.newscatcherapi.com/mcp, so there is nothing to install locally. Ready-made configuration for Claude, Cursor, VS Code, Codex and 5 more is on this page, copied from each client's own documentation.

MCP tools · 61 exposed · ~9,810 tokens

The tools this component advertises to a client, with an estimated token cost for each. Expand a tool to see its parameters and schema. The per-tool counts are indicative and are not scored directly; the schema's total context footprint is one signal in Schema Quality & AI Usability. A tool's description is untrusted text the model reads on every call, which is what makes this list a security surface and not just an inventory: how tool poisoning works →

Tool Tokens
add_dataset_entities ~76

Add existing entities to a dataset.

NameTypeReqDescription
api_keystring–CatchAll API key. Optional if provided via x-api-key header or CATCHALL_API_KEY env var.
dataset_idstringyesThe dataset ID to add entities to.
entity_idsarrayyesList of entity IDs to add (required).
NameTypeReqDescription
resultstringyes–

No examples provided.

add_project_resources ~162

Add one or more resources to a project. Webhooks are first-class project resources: a webhook can belong to several projects at the same time, and deleting a project only detaches its webhooks — it never deletes them.

NameTypeReqDescription
api_keystring–CatchAll API key. Optional if provided via x-api-key header or CATCHALL_API_KEY env var.
project_idstringyesThe project ID to add resources to.
resources–yesA list of resource objects, each `{"resource_type": ..., "resource_id": ...}`. `resource_type` is one of: 'job', 'monitor', 'dataset', 'monitor_group', 'webhook'. May also be passed as a JSON-string…
NameTypeReqDescription
resultstringyes–

No examples provided.

append_csv_to_dataset ~178

Append entities from a CSV file to an existing dataset. Parses the CSV and appends its entities to the dataset. Each row must have a `name` column; include a `domain` or `description` column (or both) for meaningful enrichment. Duplicate rows (by name) are skipped. To create a new dataset from a CSV, use `create_dataset_from_csv` instead.

NameTypeReqDescription
api_keystring–CatchAll API key. Optional if provided via x-api-key header or CATCHALL_API_KEY env var.
dataset_idstringyesThe dataset ID to append entities to (required).
filestringyesCSV content (required) — raw CSV text or standard base64-encoded CSV, capped at 10 MB after decoding. Server-side file paths are not accepted.
NameTypeReqDescription
resultstringyes–

No examples provided.

assign_webhook_resource ~131

Map a resource (job, monitor, or monitor_group) to a webhook. Use when: - You want a webhook to fire for a specific job or monitor's deliveries.

NameTypeReqDescription
api_keystring–CatchAll API key. Optional if provided via x-api-key header or CATCHALL_API_KEY env var.
resource_idstringyesThe ID of the job/monitor/monitor_group to map.
resource_typestringyesResource type: 'job', 'monitor', or 'monitor_group'.
webhook_idstringyesThe webhook ID to attach the resource to.
NameTypeReqDescription
resultstringyes–

No examples provided.

check_health ~41

Check API health status. This tool maps to GET /health and does not require an API key.

NameTypeReqDescription
api_keystring–Optional CatchAll API key.
NameTypeReqDescription
resultstringyes–

No examples provided.

continue_job ~158

Expand a job by processing more records beyond the initial limit. This increases the number of records the system processes (which costs additional credits). Only use this when the user wants MORE data processed. This only applies to jobs originally submitted with `limit`. If a job was submitted without `limit`, there is nothing to continue. The new_limit must be greater than the previous limit when provided. If omitted, API defaults to your plan maximum.

NameTypeReqDescription
api_keystring–CatchAll API key. Optional if provided via x-api-key header or CATCHALL_API_KEY env var.
job_idstringyesThe job ID to continue processing
new_limit––Optional new record processing limit (must exceed the previous limit if provided).
NameTypeReqDescription
resultstringyes–

No examples provided.

create_dataset ~133

Create a new dataset. Datasets are collections of entities (companies/people). Connect a dataset to a job via `submit_query(connected_dataset_ids=[...])` to narrow retrieval scope.

NameTypeReqDescription
api_keystring–CatchAll API key. Optional if provided via x-api-key header or CATCHALL_API_KEY env var.
descriptionstring–Optional dataset description.
entity_ids––Optional list of existing entity IDs to seed the dataset with.
namestringyesHuman-readable dataset name (required).
project_idstring–Optional project ID to associate this dataset with.
NameTypeReqDescription
resultstringyes–

No examples provided.

create_dataset_from_csv ~229

Create a new dataset by uploading a CSV file. The CSV must have at least a `name` column. For meaningful entity enrichment each row should also include a `domain` column or a `description` column (or both) — a row with only a name is accepted but produces lower-quality enrichment. Additional columns are mapped to entity attributes. Max file size is plan-dependent. To add CSV rows to an existing dataset, use `append_csv_to_dataset` instead.

NameTypeReqDescription
api_keystring–CatchAll API key. Optional if provided via x-api-key header or CATCHALL_API_KEY env var.
descriptionstring–Optional dataset description.
filestringyesCSV content (required) — raw CSV text or standard base64-encoded CSV, capped at 10 MB after decoding. Server-side file paths are not accepted.
namestringyesHuman-readable dataset name (required).
project_idstring–Optional project ID to associate this dataset with (new in 1.6.1).
NameTypeReqDescription
resultstringyes–

No examples provided.

NameTypeReqDescription
api_keystring–CatchAll API key. Optional if provided via x-api-key header or CATCHALL_API_KEY env var.
entities–yesA list of entity objects. Each object requires a ``name`` plus one identifying field for good enrichment: either a top-level ``"description"`` or ``"additional_attributes": {"company_attributes": {"d…
NameTypeReqDescription
resultstringyes–

No examples provided.

create_entity ~193

Create a single entity (a company or person). ``name`` is required plus at least one identifying field: either ``description`` or ``additional_attributes.company_attributes.domain``.

NameTypeReqDescription
additional_attributes––Optional structured attributes. For companies, use `{"company_attributes": {"alternative_names": [...], "domain": "...", "key_persons": [...], "description": "..."}}`.
api_keystring–CatchAll API key. Optional if provided via x-api-key header or CATCHALL_API_KEY env var.
descriptionstring–Optional description of the entity.
entity_typestring–Optional entity type: 'company' (default) or 'person'.
external_entity_id––Optional customer-supplied identifier linking this entity to an external system's record (new in 1.6.3).
namestringyesEntity name (required).
NameTypeReqDescription
resultstringyes–

No examples provided.

create_monitor ~373

Create a recurring monitor from a completed job. Monitors re-run a job's query on a schedule. Use the explore -> refine -> automate pattern: submit a job, refine until results match, then create a monitor. The schedule is defined in natural language (e.g., 'every day at 9 AM EST'). Always include a timezone (in the schedule text or via the `timezone` arg). API-enforced constraints apply: - If `backfill=true`, reference job end_date must be within the last 7 days - If `backfill=false`, reference job age does not matter - Minimum schedule frequency depends on your plan Webhooks are now centralized: register them with `create_webhook`, then pass their IDs here via `webhook_ids` (there is no inline webhook config anymore).

NameTypeReqDescription
api_keystring–CatchAll API key. Optional if provided via x-api-key header or CATCHALL_API_KEY env var.
backfillboolean–Optional gap-fill toggle before first run (default true).
limit––Optional max records per run (minimum 10). If omitted, API uses plan default.
project_idstring–Optional project ID to associate this monitor with.
reference_job_idstringyesID of a completed job to use as the template
schedulestringyesNatural language schedule (e.g., 'every day at 9 AM EST', 'every Monday at 8 AM UTC', 'every 48 hours')
timezonestring–Optional IANA timezone for the schedule (e.g. 'America/New_York'). Defaults to UTC. A timezone written into the schedule text overrides this.
webhook_ids––Optional list of webhook IDs to notify on each run completion (max 5).
NameTypeReqDescription
resultstringyes–

No examples provided.

create_project ~92

Create a new project. Projects group related resources (jobs, monitors, datasets, monitor_groups) so you can organize work and filter listings by `project_id`.

NameTypeReqDescription
api_keystring–CatchAll API key. Optional if provided via x-api-key header or CATCHALL_API_KEY env var.
descriptionstring–Optional project description.
namestringyesHuman-readable project name (required).
NameTypeReqDescription
resultstringyes–

No examples provided.

create_webhook ~406

Create a new webhook endpoint. Use when: - You want to register a URL to receive job or monitor result deliveries. - You need a webhook_id to attach to a monitor (via webhook_ids) or a job submission. - You want the webhook associated with a project from the start (pass `project_id`).

NameTypeReqDescription

typestring–Optional webhook target type: 'generic' (default), 'slack', 'teams', or 'custom'. 'slack'/'teams' send pre-formatted payloads; 'generic'/'custom' send the raw result payload.
urlstringyesTarget URL that will receive webhook deliveries (required).
NameTypeReqDescription
resultstringyes–

No examples provided.

delete_dataset ~76

Delete a project. By default the project's resources (jobs, monitors, etc.) are detached but kept. Set `delete_resources=true` to also delete the contained jobs, monitors, datasets, and monitor groups. Webhooks are the exception: they are never deleted by this operation — an attached webhook is only detached from the project and keeps working (it may belong to other projects or resources independently of this one).

No examples provided.

get_job_status ~299

Check the status of a submitted job. Call this after submit_query to see if your job is ready. Status progression: submitted -> analyzing -> fetching -> clustering -> enriching -> completed/failed IMPORTANT: Jobs take several minutes to process. First check after ~1-2 minutes, then poll every 30-60 seconds. Broad searches can take 10-30+ minutes; for long jobs, poll every 60-120 seconds. Do NOT call this tool in a tight loop. Stop polling when status is `completed` or `failed`. Treat `submitted`, `analyzing`, `fetching`, `clustering`, and `enriching` as active states and continue polling. You don't need to wait for completion to pull results. Partial results are available during `enriching` — call pull_results after ~2 minutes, then poll status every 30-60 seconds and pull again for fresher results. Do not stop pulling just because an intermediate pull is empty/unchanged. Use `progress_validated` vs `candidate_records` to track whether more results may still appear (`progress_validated < candidate_records`). If transport/session fails, resume using the same `job_id`.
