Connect Signal8 to VS Code
Add the hosted Signal8 MCP server to VS Code with one click or through .vscode/mcp.json, then use Signal8's SEC filing, insider, dilution and market tools from the editor.
Setup
Add to VS Code
One-click: opens VS Code and adds the hosted server. After install, replace sk_live_YOUR_KEY with your API key.
Or add it to .vscode/mcp.json:
.vscode/mcp.json
{
"mcpServers": {
"signal8": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://mcp.signal8.ai/mcp",
"headers": {
"Authorization": "Bearer sk_live_YOUR_KEY"
}
}
}
}Then ask
Once connected, VS Code can call any of the 113 Signal8 tools. Ask in plain English and it picks the right one.
