ServiceGraph Agent Skills

Datasets for founders — where to launch, who to email, who to hire.

Agent Skills for ServiceGraph — structured, metrics-enriched business datasets your agent can filter, rank, and pull contact data from. One filter DSL, one credit balance, many datasets:

The branded servicegraph skill works against every dataset — say "servicegraph" and your agent discovers what datasets exist, learns each one's schema and filters, searches free, and unlocks detail with credits. The specific find-* skills cover two datasets today. For the Agencies dataset — law, marketing, design, consulting, accounting, IT services, AI/ML, web development, engineering, HR, PR, cybersecurity, and more — filterable by industry, services, location, size, ratings, and third-party listings. And for the Product directories dataset — where to launch a software product and earn backlinks — covering general product/SaaS launches, MCP-server registries, and AI-tool / AI-agent / agent-skill directories, ranked by Domain Rating and organic traffic. More per-use-case skills for the newsletter and other datasets land here as they ship — same install, same API key, same DSL.

Compatible with 19+ AI agents including Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Gemini, Cline, Goose, Windsurf, and any other harness that supports the Agent Skills format.

Installation

API key: browsing, filtering, and brief cards are free, but every call needs a key. Create one at servicegraph.co/profile/api-keys (2,000 free credits on signup, no card) and put it in your shell or .env.local as SERVICEGRAPH_API_KEY=vk_…. Skills prompt for it on first use and never read the value into the model's context.

Available Skills

Any dataset

The generic, dataset-agnostic way to drive ServiceGraph. Launch it by naming the brand; it discovers what datasets exist and each one's schema and filters through the API, searches free brief rows, and unlocks contact + metric detail with credits — no datasets or fields hardcoded, so it stays correct as new data lands.

Use when:

• "Use ServiceGraph to find …"
• "What datasets does ServiceGraph have?"
• "Search ServiceGraph for … / look this up in ServiceGraph"
• "Pull contacts from ServiceGraph for these domains"
• The dataset you need has no specific skill below yet

Product directories dataset

Each row is a directory you submit to — not a firm and not a product. These skills answer where to launch a software product and earn backlinks: they rank listing sites by Domain Rating (free in every result, so you shortlist for zero credits) and unlock the submission note (how to submit, and whether the listing grants a backlink) plus organic traffic with credits. Global catalog, not US-only.

Find and rank directories to submit a SaaS, software product, app, or startup to — SaaS review sites, launch platforms (Product Hunt and its alternatives), and general software directories. Defers to find-mcp-directories and find-ai-directories for those niches.

Use when:

• "Where can I submit my B2B SaaS to get backlinks and launch-day traffic?"
• "Give me a list of Product Hunt alternatives to launch our app on"
• "Here are 10 software directory domains — pull submission details and rank by DR"

Find and rank MCP-server registries (Model Context Protocol) — where to publish a server so agent builders discover it, ranked by domain authority.

Use when:

• "Where do I list my MCP server?"
• "Best MCP directories and registries to submit our server to for backlinks"
• Indirect: "we just built an MCP server — where do we publish it?"

Find and rank directories for AI tools, AI agents, and agent skills / plugins — where to list an AI product for backlinks and discovery. Defers to find-mcp-directories when the artifact is specifically an MCP server.

Use when:

• "Where can I list my AI tool to get backlinks and discovery?"
• "Directories to submit my AI agent / where do I publish our agent skill?"
• "Rank the top AI tool directories by domain rating for our SEO push"

Prefer MCP? Use the hosted server.

If your harness speaks the Model Context Protocol, skip the skill install and point it at the hosted MCP server:

https://mcp.servicegraph.co

• Transport: Streamable HTTP
• Auth: OAuth 2.1 + PKCE with Dynamic Client Registration — your harness opens a browser tab on first use; you sign in on servicegraph.co and are bounced back. No client ID or secret to copy around, no API key to paste.

Usage

Skills are automatically available once installed. The agent will pick the right one when it detects a relevant task.

Examples:

Find me three boutique IP law firms in California that handle patent
prosecution for hardware startups.

Need a shortlist of mid-size SEO agencies in NY or NJ with a strong B2B
SaaS portfolio.

We're hiring a CPA firm for a Delaware C-corp Series A audit.
Recommend 5 options under 50 people.

Here are 12 marketing agency domains I scraped — pull contact info and
confirm which are in the US.

How it works — browse free, unlock with credits

Every dataset lives behind the same per-dataset URL shape and the same filter DSL. For the agencies dataset the id is pro_services:

GET  /v1/datasets/pro_services/fields    →  field catalog + DSL grammar · free
GET  /v1/datasets/pro_services/check     →  validate a filter · free
GET  /v1/datasets/pro_services/search    →  brief firm cards · free
GET  /v1/datasets/pro_services/{apex}    →  one row (brief; detail if unlocked) · free
POST /v1/datasets/pro_services/unlocks   →  full contact bundle · 10 credits/row

Discovery, filtering, and brief cards are free — you only spend credits to unlock a row's full contact detail (URL, phone, email, social, address). An unlock lasts 30 days and re-fetching within that window is free.

• 2,000 free credits on signup, no card.
• 10 credits per row (~$0.10). Top-ups: $10 / 1,000 credits, $80 / 10,000 (20% off). Credits never expire.

Filter DSL

One query parameter, GitHub-search-style. AND binds tighter than OR; -x / NOT x for negation; tag@evidence for the service_provided field. Any bareword is a free-text keyword search across firm name, brand, title, meta description, and legal name.

industry:legal state:CA,NY -company_size_signal:solo
industry:management_consulting service_provided:strategy-consulting@high
dental industry:marketing_agency
rating>=4 review_count_total>=20 has:clutch
(web3 OR blockchain) state:CA

The field catalog (kinds, operators, allowed values) is discoverable at runtime via /v1/datasets/pro_services/fields.

Why structured beats search

• Filter, don't grep. Industry, services, location, size, rating, domain authority, traffic, third-party listings — all queryable as a single filter string, not a wall of fuzzy web results.
• Metrics built in. Every row carries the signals you'd otherwise scrape by hand — agency ratings, directory DR/traffic, newsletter subscriber counts — so an agent can rank, not just list.
• Cheaper than scraping. Browse and filter for free; pay only for the contact rows you actually want, ~$0.10 each, 30-day access, credits never expire. Beats Google, ChatGPT guesses, and stale Notion/Twitter lists.

Skill structure

Each skill follows the Agent Skills Open Standard:

• SKILL.md — required manifest with frontmatter (name, description, metadata)

The skills in this repo are single-file. No bundled scripts or references yet — the API is small enough that the agent does fine with prose + copy-pasteable curl examples.
