*Disclosure: I build these tools, and I used AI to help write them and this post.*

Five more Panda Federation tools went public on the Apify Store tonight, and they're now in the open-source MCP server too (v1.3.0, 23 tools). Each one reads an official or open source, charges per result (one is free), and returns JSON with a one-line `agentSummary` per row plus Excel/CSV.

| Tool | What it does | Price | 
|---|---|---|
| [SBIR/STTR Topic Radar](https://apify.com/pandadad0214/sbir-sttr-topic-radar) | Open SBIR/STTR topics from every agency, with full text, close dates, days left and DoD Q&A contacts | $0.003 / topic | 
| [SEC Financials to Excel](https://apify.com/pandadad0214/sec-financials-excel) | About 40 standardized 10-K lines per company-year from SEC EDGAR XBRL, each tied to its filing, in a comps and model workbook | $0.002 / company-year | 
| [Clinical Trial Leads](https://apify.com/pandadad0214/clinical-trial-leads) | ClinicalTrials.gov trials by condition, drug, phase or location, with sponsors, contacts, investigators and every site | $0.002 / trial | 
| [Website Change Monitor](https://apify.com/pandadad0214/website-change-monitor) | Page diffs, price changes and keyword alerts on any public page, compared with your last run | $0.0015 / page | 
| [Hidden AI Instructions Scanner](https://apify.com/pandadad0214/hidden-ai-instructions-scanner) | Finds text hidden from people but aimed at AI agents (prompt injection) before your agent reads a page | Free | 

Searches that find nothing aren't charged per result.

Add that as a stdio MCP server with your `APIFY_TOKEN` (setup for Claude, Cursor and VS Code is in the [README](https://github.com/pandadad0214/panda-federation-tools#install--use)). Then ask things like:

Every call is schema-checked before it runs and has a hard spending cap (`run_max_charge_usd`, default $0.50).

``` python
from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN")
run = client.actor("pandadad0214/sbir-sttr-topic-radar").call(
    run_input={"keywords": "autonomous", "maxResults": 10}
)
for topic in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(topic["agentSummary"])
```

The SEC tool needs a `contactEmail`, because SEC's fair-access rules ask every client to identify itself. It's only sent to SEC.

Four more (IRS nonprofit lists, Federal Register monitor, FDA/CPSC recalls and a bulk VIN decoder) are built and go public over the next day or two. Repo: [pandadad0214/panda-federation-tools](https://github.com/pandadad0214/panda-federation-tools).
