What it does
Search and retrieve peer-reviewed papers from academic venues in security, ML, NLP, computer vision, and systems, plus access curated research methodology guidance. Designed for researchers and developers building AI agents that need to ground responses in academic literature.
- Search for papers on a topic and synthesize themes across foundational and recent work to identify research gaps.
- Retrieve full text and citation graphs for papers to trace their lineage and see what built on them.
- Fact-check claims in a draft against the corpus with verbatim quotes to verify accuracy.

Before you enable it
An MCP server runs with whatever access you give it. Start with a development account rather than production, and check which tools the server exposes before you let an agent call them unattended.
