Q: What is technographic data?

The technology a company runs. company.technologies detects it from the company's site, which lets you keep the accounts on a given platform before any contact is looked up.

In practice

What do you ask it?

You do not call tools by name. You describe the job, and the agent finds the tools, shows the price and runs them.

Connect

How do you connect it?

One MCP server for Claude, ChatGPT, Claude Code, Codex and Cursor, or the same calls over the CLI and REST. The example runs company.jobs.

MCP server

claude mcp add --transport http routergrowth https://api.routergrowth.com/mcp

CLI

npm install -g routergrowth && routergrowth setup
routergrowth run -c company.jobs -i '{"query": "account executive", "location": "London", "limit": 20}'

REST

curl -X POST https://api.routergrowth.com/v1/run \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $ROUTERGROWTH_API_KEY" \
  -d '{"capability": "company.jobs", "input": {"query": "account executive", "location": "London", "limit": 20}}'

In claude.ai and ChatGPT, add https://api.routergrowth.com/mcp as a connector and approve the workspace in the browser. Setup for every client.

Worth knowing

What should you know before you start?

Qualify before you enrich

A signal check costs less than a contact lookup. Running it first means the email finder only sees accounts worth writing to.

Fresh on every run

Jobs and news are read live. A weekly run only has to keep what is new.

The signal is the first line

The role, the round or the announcement is what the message opens with, so the agent keeps it next to the contact.

FAQ

Questions about buying signals with an AI agent

What are sales signals?

Public changes at a company that make a purchase more likely soon: an open role, a funding round, a new tool in the stack, an announcement. They tell you who to contact now and what to say.

How do I track trigger events automatically?

Give the agent the account list and the events you care about. It runs company.jobs, company.funding and news.search on a schedule and reports the accounts where something changed.

What is technographic data?

The technology a company runs. company.technologies detects it from the company's site, which lets you keep the accounts on a given platform before any contact is looked up.

Is this intent data?

It is first-hand, public intent: what the company itself posted or announced. It is not anonymous browsing data bought from a network.
