In Practice

Common jobs

These examples show the tools involved and the source behind each result.

Carrier diligence from one workflow

"Find the safest carrier matching 'Diamond Trucking' authorized in TX with active insurance, and show their crash history."
Agent calls fmcsa_carrier_searchfmcsa_safety_scoresfmcsa_carrier_authority. The tools provide matching carriers, BASIC safety percentiles, and authority and insurance status for the agent to compare.

Vendor compliance screening

"Screen 'Acme Holdings BV' and the registered address against all major sanctions lists."
Agent calls sanctions_screen_entitysanctions_screen_addresssanctions_search_alias. Returns hit/no-hit with source list and entity ID.

Current market context

"What's NVDA at right now, what's the implied vol on the weekly 145 calls, and how does it compare to AMD and AVGO?"
Agent calls stock_quoteoptions_chainstock_compare. Returns the latest available quotes, IV, and side-by-side fundamentals. Timing depends on the source.
Workflow Products · New

Build a review packet from the records you already check.

These workflow packs gather related records, then return source notes, missing fields, and questions for a reviewer to follow up on.

Shippers · Receivers · Brokers

Shipper / receiver counterparty pack

Resolve the legal entity, collect identity signals, screen sanctions, and produce a load-release and credit-review checklist for one or both counterparties.

Logistics · Insurance · Operations

Lane / location risk pack

Compare origin and destination hazards, environmental context, disaster history, and operational follow-ups before a shipment moves.

lane_location_risk_pack

Cost context

Compare the cost of a single connection

Many of these data domains are also available from specialist vendors. Their pricing, licensing, coverage, and contract terms vary, so the comparison below is a prompt to verify your current source mix, not a market-price benchmark or a guaranteed saving.

The comparison is about consolidation, not a guaranteed replacement or savings claim. Check each provider's current pricing, licensing, coverage, and service terms before deciding what to replace.

Counterparty Due Diligence

Run the KYB checks from one request.

Due-diligence workflows often combine several sources and vendor accounts. LiveDataLink puts sanctions, SEC filings, federal courts, IRS nonprofits, federal awards, environmental compliance, carrier safety, and bank-failure data behind one bearer token. Your agent can run the checks it needs.

Example workflow
counterparty_risk_score

Give the tool a company name and it returns a 0-100 score with the supporting records listed. It checks sanctions (OFAC/UN/EU/BIS), SEC EDGAR, federal courts, EPA enforcement, and federal contracts in one result.

Agent call: counterparty_risk_score({ company_name: "Acme Holdings BV" })

Returns:
  score: 38 / 100 (HIGH risk)
  evidence: [
    { source: sanctions, ... },
    { source: epa, severity: high, delta: -5, ... },
    { source: courts, severity: medium, delta: -3, ... },
    { source: sec, delta: +5, ... }
  ]
  sources_checked: [sanctions, courts, epa, sec, usaspending]
  summary: "Composite risk score 38/100 (high). Top concerns: ..."

This combines five public-data checks into one explainable response. Treat the result as a review aid, not a final compliance or credit decision.

Or run the checks yourself:
"Run counterparty due diligence on 'Acme Holdings BV'. Screen sanctions, find SEC filings, recent litigation, federal contracts, and environmental enforcement."
sanctions_screen_entityedgar_company_lookupedgar_company_facts
court_case_searchcaselaw_searchspending_search_awards
epa_facility_searchfmcsa_carrier_search
nonprofit_search_nameentity_resolveentity_dossier
The chain uses multiple public sources behind one bearer token. Response time and source availability vary; the agent returns a structured dossier with source citations.
Sanctions / Compliance
First-party indexed OFAC + UN + EU + BIS DPL
The first-party lists are loaded by a scheduled data job. Batch up to 50 names, screen addresses, and search aliases. Check the returned timestamp and source status when timing matters.
Litigation
Federal courts + Caselaw Access Project
CourtListener opinions and our Caselaw Access Project collection. Search by entity, retrieve available full text, and track recent filings.
Public Disclosures
SEC EDGAR + IRS nonprofits + USAspending
10-K/Q/8-K, insider Form 4, XBRL financials, IRS nonprofit records, and federal contract, grant, and loan records.
Operational Risk
EPA + FMCSA + FDIC + healthcare providers
Environmental enforcement, carrier safety scores, bank failure data, NPPES provider lookup.
Cross-Source Resolution
entity_resolve + entity_dossier
Match one company across SEC + EPA + sanctions + USAspending with a confidence score. Available as a cross-source option in the catalog.
Audit Trail
Exportable per-key usage log
Each billed query is timestamped and itemized at /api/usage/export. Export the log as CSV or JSON for your own records.

Alternatives: separate source-specific APIs can mean more integrations and credentials. LiveDataLink Pro is $49/month for up to 50,000 queries per month, with the catalog available through one endpoint. Compare coverage, licensing, and support terms for your use case.

Pricing

One key, a bill you can understand.

Every plan uses one API key for the catalog. The monthly price and included query limit are shown up front, with no per-tool charges. Plans pause at the limit until renewal.

Build vs. Buy

What you would maintain in-house

You can build these connections yourself. The ongoing work is usually the hard part.

Roll your own (per data source)

  • Multiple vendor accounts and credentials to manage
  • Separate invoices, rate limits, schemas, and freshness policies
  • You own each integration's monitoring and maintenance
  • Source pricing and access terms vary by provider and volume
  • You build and test the orchestration between sources
  • Upstream API changes become your maintenance work

LiveDataLink

  • One MCP endpoint, all sources unified
  • One API Key to manage
  • One subscription, one bill, one rate-limit policy
  • $10–$49/month base subscription, all 377 tools included
  • One connection configuration for the supported catalog
  • We maintain connector adapters and show source and freshness context
Integration

Add it to a compatible agent

Works with Claude Desktop, Cursor, Continue, Cline, Zed, and other clients that support remote Streamable HTTP MCP servers. The model comes from your client. It just needs to support this connection method.

1. Get your API key

Subscribe above, or grab a free-tier API key at /signup/free (1,000 queries/month, no card).

2. Add to your client config

For Claude Desktop, Cursor, and most MCP clients, add this block to your mcpServers config:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "livedatalink": {
      "url": "https://livedatalink.ai/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY",
        "Accept": "application/json, text/event-stream"
      }
    }
  }
}

3. Test from your terminal

Verify everything works before relying on it:

curl -X POST https://livedatalink.ai/mcp \
  -H "Accept: application/json, text/event-stream" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/list","params":{}}'

You should get back the tool catalog as JSON-RPC. Your MCP client can then call the tools it supports based on the user's prompt.

For Agents

For software that needs public records

LiveDataLink gives an agent a documented connection to public data, with source and freshness notes kept visible.

LiveDataLink is designed for agents that need public data with a clear source trail and a stable connection method.

The discovery tool search_available_datasets is free, does not use query credits, and records unmet requests as product feedback. Those requests help set the order for future additions.

Use any client that supports remote Streamable HTTP MCP. Your user owns the key, and the integration uses a standard connection rather than a proprietary SDK.

Memory snippets, SKILL.md templates, and Cursor rule blocks are at livedatalink.ai/tools. Plain-text summary lives at /llms.txt. Full machine-readable JSON-LD catalog is in this page's head.

Review the catalog, check source notes, and start with a small evaluation.

FAQ

Common questions

Clear limits, source notes, and practical answers.

What if I exceed my plan's monthly queries?
Starter and Pro plans currently pause when the included monthly limit is reached. Metered overage is not enabled. You can change plans before the next billing period by contacting support.
Can I switch plans mid-cycle?
Contact support with the plan you want. We will confirm the change and any proration before it is applied through Stripe.
What happens if I cancel?
Your key keeps working through the end of the current billing period. No rebill. After period ends, the key drops to free-tier limits (1,000 queries/month) but stays usable.
Is my key portable? Can I take my integration elsewhere?
Yes. MCP is an open protocol. Your client config is portable. Your API Key is yours. We don't lock you in with a proprietary SDK or schema.
How fresh is the data?
Freshness depends on the source. Some connectors query an upstream endpoint on demand, while others use scheduled or cached public datasets. Each result should be checked against the primary source when timing matters.
Do you log my queries?
For billing we record query count, timestamp, and response time per key. We do not log query parameters or response bodies for non-discovery tools. The discovery tool (search_available_datasets) logs the search text to drive our build roadmap. Don't put PII in discovery searches.
Who runs LiveDataLink?
LiveDataLink is operated by Blackbox Foundry LLC, a Texas single-member LLC. For service questions, email support@livedatalink.ai.
What's on the roadmap?
We use requests from search_available_datasets, source quality, and maintenance cost to choose additions. A missing source is not a promise that it will be added. Email support@livedatalink.ai if you want us to assess one.
