What this server can do
7 functions, named and described by the server itself. Parameter names are shown because they say more about what a function does than its name usually does.
get_blog_post(slug)- Get the full Markdown body of one published blog post by its slug. Free; does not consume API quota. Content is an original AI synthesis with no verbatim community quotes. Required: slug.
get_opportunity(opportunity_id)- Get the full detail of a specific opportunity: description, score breakdown, MVP features, competitors, differentiation, risks and community evidence count. (Free tool) Required: opportunity_id.
get_overview- Get a global overview of PainSpotter: all domain categories (with theme count, opportunity count and 30-day mentions) plus a snapshot of currently trending themes. A good first step to map the landscape before drilling in with the other tools. (Free tool)
get_theme(theme)- Get the full market signal for a single theme: trend, 30-day / all-time mentions, signal channels, audience clarity and market summary, plus the top-scoring opportunities under it (including the Best Bet flagship opportunity). (Pro tool) Required: theme.
list_blog_posts(limit)- List recent published PainSpotter blog posts — weekly long-form analyses of validated business opportunities (who's hurting, why now, how to build it). Free; does not consume API quota.
list_trending_themes(limit, min_mentions)- List themes that are currently heating up (sorted by trend change %), to catch demand that is growing. A theme is the "market-signal layer": it aggregates multiple opportunities and carries 30-day mentions, trend direction and audience clarity. (Pro tool)
query_opportunities(sort, query, category, platform, min_score, page_size, recommendation)- Unified opportunity search: filter by keyword, minimum score, platform, recommendation tier and domain category, then sort the results. (Pro tool)

Signals
These are separate measurements of different things. They are deliberately not combined into one score, because a popularity number that mixes website traffic with saves and stars cannot be checked or acted on.
