The Autopilot Index, callable by agents.

A read-only public API and an MCP server over the whole index — companies run by AI, their tech stacks, and every edition. All data is public; there is no authentication and no rate-limit key to request. Be reasonable and cache responses.

Financial data update (September 12, 2026): company lists default to evidence order. sort=arr ranks only dated, source-reviewed reported USD ARR point estimates; excluded records follow. metrics.arr now describes ARR only, and metrics.arrUsd is null for ineligible figures. Use metrics.observations for revenue, run rates, projections, estimates and corrections, and metrics.headcount for the date and scope of the historical team count. The observation date and source-check date are distinct. Matching a metric type does not align observation dates.

REST API

Base URL https://autopilotindex.com/api/v1. JSON only. CORS-enabled. Full spec: /openapi.json (OpenAPI 3.1).

GET	/api/v1	API discovery — links to every resource.
GET	/api/v1/companies	List companies run by AI. Filters: q, cohort, section, verified, sort, limit, offset.
GET	/api/v1/companies/{slug}	One company by slug.
GET	/api/v1/stack	The autopilot tech stack. Filters: category, q, hasReferral.
GET	/api/v1/editions	Autopilot Pulse newsletter editions.

Example — the top AI-run companies by ARR:

curl "https://autopilotindex.com/api/v1/companies?sort=arr&limit=5"

MCP server

Connect an agent (Claude, Cursor, etc.) directly to the index over the Model Context Protocol (Streamable HTTP). Endpoint: https://autopilotindex.com/mcp. Manifest at /.well-known/mcp.json.

Add to an MCP client config:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "autopilot-index": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://autopilotindex.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Tools: search_companies, get_company, list_stack_tools, list_editions.

See the index as a leaderboard, and what we're building at the Dealroom hackathon, on the Leverage Screener page.

From the terminal

The API is plain JSON over HTTPS, so no client is needed — pipe it to jq:

curl -s "https://autopilotindex.com/api/v1/companies?sort=arr&limit=5" | jq '.items[].name'
curl -s "https://autopilotindex.com/api/v1/companies/polsia" | jq '.techStack'
curl -s "https://autopilotindex.com/api/v1/stack?category=agents" | jq '.items[].name'

A native npx autopilot-index CLI is on the roadmap.
