Perigon
Perigon watches public web sources and turns breaking news into structured monitors, API feeds, and agent-ready alerts. You define what to track, and Perigon continuously organizes matching articles, companies, and people as events unfold.
Keyword alerts dump raw links. Perigon monitors capture configurable fields, run continuously, and can feed briefings or agent workflows through an MCP server at mcp.perigon.io that plugs into Claude or Cursor without custom SDK plumbing.

It fits PR and comms teams watching brand mentions, developers building news-aware apps, and analysts who need machine-ready feeds instead of manual Google Alerts checks. A free tier includes one monitor forever, while paid plans start at $99 per month for five active monitors.
