Agility PR Solutions shipped a product on August 18, 2026 that puts live, permissioned media monitoring data inside Claude and other MCP-compatible AI assistants — no custom API development required.
The Agility MCP Connector, now listed in the Claude Connector Directory, uses Anthropic's Model Context Protocol, the open standard that lets AI assistants reach specific, permissioned data sources. The practical problem it solves is concrete: communications professionals running Claude have historically gotten answers drawn from the open web, not from the verified media monitoring data their teams actually rely on. The connector enables users to query their Agility account coverage in plain language, inside the conversation, without writing integration code, according to Agility's August 18, 2026 news release on Newsfilecorp.
Agility CEO Martin Lyster framed the launch this way: "We're proud to pioneer the first AI-powered media intelligence API for application builders and agents – enabling smarter decisions and deeper insights across any workflow."
The company positions the connector as first-to-market for AI-powered media intelligence APIs that add advanced media intelligence analysis to existing PR tools and workflows, per the same release. Named competitors in the media intelligence space include Meltwater, Agorapulse, Signal AI, Oktopost, and Sendible.
The business context: Agility PR Solutions is an Ottawa, Ontario-based company founded in 2003 and acquired by Innodata on July 28, 2014.

Current cash position and share price data were not available at publication.
The connector is available now in the Claude Connector Directory, with compatibility extending to other MCP-compatible assistants beyond Claude, per Agility's August 18, 2026 news release on Newsfilecorp.
