SignalScope — Cursor Plugin

AI-powered stock breakout signal detection inside Cursor IDE

SignalScope gives Cursor AI agents direct access to stock breakout signals via MCP tools. Query trending tickers, deep-dive with AI-generated reports and trade setups, track your portfolio and watchlist — all without leaving the IDE. Signals are aggregated from social media, SEC filings, congressional trades, options flow, and volume spikes, then scored and filtered for pump-and-dump patterns.

What is SignalScope?

SignalScope aggregates signals from social media, SEC filings, congressional trades, options flow, volume spikes, and Polymarket. It scores candidates with AI, filters pump-and-dump patterns, and surfaces validated tickers with opportunityScore (early-mover rank) and aiScore (evidence confidence).

Installation

Install from the Cursor Marketplace by searching for SignalScope.

After installation, configure authentication (pick one):

Option A — API key (subscription required):

1. Open Cursor Settings → Features → Model Context Protocol
2. Find the signalscope server and click the gear icon
3. Set SIGNALSCOPE_API_KEY to your key

To get your API key:

1. Create an account at signalscopes.com
2. Go to your Profile page
3. Click Generate API Key and copy it (shown only once)

Option B — x402 pay-per-call (no subscription needed):

1. Set SIGNALSCOPE_WALLET_PRIVATE_KEY to an Ethereum wallet private key with USDC on Base
2. Each API call deducts a small USDC amount automatically (e.g. $0.005–$0.05 per call)
3. No account or registration required

Note: search_tickers, get_methodology, list_scans, get_scan, get_signals, and get_platform_stats are public (no key). Monetized ticker endpoints need an API key (subscriber) or x402. generate_report cannot be generated with an API key — use x402 ($0.05) or sign in on the site (Pro to generate new reports; cached reports may be returned for subscribers).

Manual Installation (without Marketplace)

Add this to your Cursor MCP settings (.cursor/mcp.json or via Settings → MCP):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "signalscope": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "signalscope-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "SIGNALSCOPE_API_KEY": "sk_sig_your_key_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

For x402 pay-per-call, replace SIGNALSCOPE_API_KEY with:

"SIGNALSCOPE_WALLET_PRIVATE_KEY": "your_ethereum_private_key"
