@retrograde-labs/lune-mcp-server

Official Model Context Protocol server for Lune Research.

Exposes 16 tools and 6 guided research workflows (prompts) for searching, retrieving, comparing, fact-checking, and subscribing to academic papers across security, ML, NLP, CV, and systems venues. Two transports:

  • stdio: run locally via npx @retrograde-labs/lune-mcp-server. Reads LUNE_API_KEY from the environment.

  • Streamable HTTP: hosted at https://mcp.luneresearch.com/mcp. Pass your PAT or OAuth token as Authorization: Bearer ....

Quick start (Claude Desktop, Cursor, etc.)
