Dataconto
Find who pays for company records or private code, from each program's published terms
Dataconto is a research directory and set of read-only tools for understanding which AI companies and data buyers license company records, datasets, or private source code. It collects published eligibility criteria, intake status, payout ranges, source links, and check dates. Agents can compare programs and inspect their published terms without submitting company files to the directory. The free, keyless remote MCP server at https://dataconto.com/mcp exposes nine tools: list_buyers, get_buyer, get_market_facts, get_tool_terms, fit_check, estimate, code_value, deletion_clock, and rights_check. Public JSON APIs cover buyers, market facts, and business-tool terms, with an OpenAPI 3.1 contract at https://dataconto.com/openapi.json. Fit checks compare supplied answers with listed criteria, and estimation tools reproduce published buyer formulas or rates. Their results are indicative research, not guaranteed offers or independent appraisals. The website says owners pay no fee; some buyers pay Dataconto a referral fee after an introduced deal closes. Licensing terms and any transfer of records or code are handled with the chosen buyer. Verification covered the official product and disclosure information, public OpenAPI, MCP initialization and nine-tool discovery, and a real list_buyers call returning a code-licensing program. Buyer intake, payout accuracy, legal eligibility, introductions, and completed licensing transactions were not independently tested.

Dataconto is listed for Data workflows. Dataconto is a research directory and set of read-only tools for understanding which AI companies and data buyers license company records, datasets, or private source code.

Consider it when an agent needs this capability through a documented service boundary instead of custom infrastructure maintained inside the application.
In 4agent's task model, the product maps to web extraction, workflow automation. That makes it a candidate for workflows that research the web, manage memory and knowledge, communicate with users, automate business workflows.
Integration checklist
- Access: confirm the none authentication flow, credential scope, rotation process, and whether calls can be attributed to a user or service identity.
- Client support: no SDK is recorded, so verify the HTTP API or another supported integration path.
- Automation: OpenAPI is listed as available, MCP is listed as available, and CLI support is not currently recorded. Confirm each requirement in the provider's current documentation.
- Operations: test rate limits, timeouts, retry safety, error payloads, logs, data retention, and the current free-tier and paid pricing model with production-like volume.
