SpecStream — Claude Code MCP server: features and setup
SpecStream lets an agent gather web-based lists of companies, jobs, grants, or leads, with a source page for each result. The request price appears first.
claude mcp add --transport http specstream https://api.specstream.ai/mcpWhat SpecStream does
Connect the hosted MCP server to an agent and ask for a list in plain language. Results come as individual entries linked to the pages they came from. You can request details for each entry, such as annual revenue for organizations.
Billing is based on matches. The agent shows the request price before it runs, and a search with no results costs nothing. Claude Code connects to SpecStream over HTTP. You need a SpecStream account; the setup also supports an API key. Since the final charge depends on the matches returned, check the quoted price before approving a request.
What it helps with
- build a company list with requested details
- find grants that match project criteria
- gather job listings from the web
- collect leads with source pages for each entry
Example prompts for the agent
- Find food banks in Texas and include each organization's annual revenue.
- Gather grants for this project and attach a source page to every result.
- Find job listings that match my criteria and show the request price before running it.
