AI Layoffs MCP¶

An open, source-cited register of AI-attributed layoffs an agent can query. The AI Layoffs Index publishes a live 0-100 AI job-loss index, its component signals and a register of 111 source-cited layoff events as open data. The MCP server exposes the whole dataset to AI assistants, no account, no API key, CORS-enabled.

Server type: Remote (Streamable HTTP)
Auth: none, open data
Endpoint: https://ailayoffs.org/mcp
Tools: index and components, event register, signals, history
Pricing: free, open data
Category: Data & Analytics / Labor Market
Built by: AI Layoffs (ailayoffs.org, built on Founden.ai)

Why This Matters for Operators¶

Labor-market pressure is a leading indicator for every business decision operators face: hiring cost, pricing power, buyer budgets, category demand. The AI Layoffs Index turns that into a queryable number set with methodology you can inspect, and because every event is source-cited, the agent can pull the underlying evidence instead of asserting a headline.

For operators the honest framing matters: this is a neutral observatory built only on free and open data, methodology v1.28, not a vendor selling a narrative.

Tools & Capabilities¶

Tool area	Purpose
Live index	The 0-100 AI job-loss index and its band
Components	The three component signals with their inputs
Event register	111 source-cited AI-attributed layoff events
History	Reconstructed index history for trend work
Raw data	JSON index endpoint plus CSV register download

The REST endpoints are published at ailayoffs.org/api/index and /api/register.csv; the MCP tools expose the same data to assistants.

Installation¶

claude mcp add ailayoffs --transport http https://ailayoffs.org/mcp

No key or account is required; the endpoint is CORS-enabled for browser and agent clients alike.

Configuration¶

    }
  }

Business Relevance¶

Founders track labor-market pressure when planning hiring and budget
Analysts pull source-cited layoff events for market briefs
Investors monitor job-loss signals across portfolio categories
Agencies add a neutral labor data source to client reporting

Integration with CorpusIQ¶

AI Layoffs feeds the market-intelligence layer of CorpusIQ reporting. An agent pulls the current index and recent events, then composes them with QuickBooks P&L data and GA4 demand signals into an executive brief where labor-market context explains what the numbers show.

For deeper analysis, the CSV register lands in a data pipeline alongside other CorpusIQ sources, and the assistant can cite specific events with sources in board decks.

Limitations¶

New listing, no track record yet
Single-domain dataset: AI-attributed layoffs only
Methodology-driven numbers, not ground-truth employment statistics
No authentication or service guarantees, it is open data

FAQ¶

Is the data free?¶

Yes. No account, no API key, CORS-enabled, because open data is the point.

What does the index measure?¶

A live 0-100 AI job-loss index built from three component signals with a full methodology published at ailayoffs.org/methodology.

Can I get the raw data?¶

Yes. The JSON index endpoint and a CSV register of every source-cited event are both public.
