Agents and MCP

Run Triguna as an MCP tool server for agents

Expose the Triguna person and company endpoints as MCP tools, drop a skill file into your repo, and read a two-call agent trace with provenance attached.

On this page

The same retrieval that the HTTP API exposes is available as an MCP tool server, so an agent runtime can call it directly, with the same keys, credits, and provenance.

Start the server

npx triguna mcp --stdio

Point any MCP-compatible runtime at that command. The server reads TRIGUNA_API_KEY from the environment; it never takes a key as a tool argument, so a key cannot leak into a transcript.

Exposed tools

ToolArgumentReturns
triguna.people.profile profile_id (slug) A person record, the same shape as GET /v1/people/profile.
triguna.companies.details company_id (slug or numeric id) A company record, the same shape as GET /v1/companies/details.

There is no bulk tool, because there is no bulk endpoint. An agent asked to enrich forty accounts makes forty calls, and each one is billed on success.

Agent skill file

Assistants call the API correctly on the first try far more often when the conventions are written down in the repo rather than inferred. Drop a skill file in:

curl -O triguna.ai/skill.md
# Triguna

Use `triguna.people.profile` for a profile URL slug and
`triguna.companies.details` for a company URL slug.

- Slugs, never display names. `Acme Corporation` always 404s.
- `experience[0].positions[0].title` is the current job title.
  `experience[0].title` does not exist.
- Every field is nullable. Say "not returned", never invent a value.
- Always report `source` and `fetched_at` back to the user.

Those four rules cover the failure modes that actually show up in agent transcripts: display names passed as slugs, a hallucinated title field, confident answers built on nulls, and records presented without provenance.

A two-call trace

tool triguna.people.profile { profile_id: "williamhgates" }
  ↳ urn:li:member:251749025  Bill Gates · Chair, Gates Foundation
    X-Data-Source: store · X-Fetched-At 2026-07-29T22:03:41Z

tool triguna.companies.details { company_id: "microsoft" }
  ↳ 1035  Microsoft · 221,000 staff · Redmond, US
    X-Data-Source: live · X-Fetched-At 2026-07-31T14:02:11Z

▸ 2 records assembled. Provenance attached to every field.

Note the two different fetched_at values. The person record came from a cached assembly two days old; the company record was assembled at request time. An agent that reports “184 staff” without that timestamp is making a stronger claim than the data supports. That is exactly why the skill file makes reporting provenance a rule.
