What problem does it solve?
Early research agents cite SEO blogs and mirrors instead of the official dataset or government portal you need to trust.
Who is it for?
Solo builders doing market, policy, or dataset discovery who want a keyed hosted MCP instead of self-hosting crawlers.
Skip if: Teams that already have paid data vendors, fixed APIs, and no need for open-ended source discovery.

- Official portal references suitable for deeper human verification

Journey fit
Authoritative source discovery happens when you are still validating facts and markets before committing to build scope. FirstData answers where the canonical dataset or portal lives, which is core research subphase work for solo builders.
How it compares
Hosted research-orientation MCP, not a warehouse ETL connector or spreadsheet analytics skill.
