Business & Market Intelligence for AI Agents
---
> **Google for AI agents** — instead of web pages, it returns clean, structured JSON that agents can reason over.
Scout MCP gives any AI agent instant access to structured business intelligence, market research, and competitive analysis. It aggregates data from **DuckDuckGo, NewsAPI, Wikipedia, web scraping, and social profiles** into Pydantic-validated JSON responses with **per-source confidence breakdowns** and **data quality grades**.
