Server Configuration

Describes the environment variables required to run the server.

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
MCP_TRANSPORTNoTransport for MCP server. Set to 'http' for Streamable HTTP, otherwise stdio is used.stdio
RESEARCH_DB_PATHNoPath to the SQLite database file. If unset, an in-memory SQLite database is used.

Instructions

Guidance the server publishes about itself, which clients place ahead of the tool catalog so the model reads it before choosing anything.

This server publishes no instructions, or was last inspected before Glama recorded them.

Tools

Functions exposed to the LLM to take actions

NameDescription
search_papersB

Search verified scholarly metadata across arXiv and Crossref. Results include provenance and transparent ranking.

get_referencesC

Retrieve Semantic Scholar references with provenance.

get_citationsA

Retrieve Semantic Scholar citing works with provenance.

get_related_papersC

Retrieve Semantic Scholar recommendations with provenance.

resolve_authorC

Resolve a Semantic Scholar author profile and linked paper identifiers.

read_paperB

Acquire and parse a bounded HTML paper document with section and reference boundaries.

search_within_paperB

Search parsed paper chunks and return source-located matches.

extract_paper_factsB

Extract deterministic heuristic facts with source locators; no unsupported values are inferred.

extract_paper_claimsC

Persist heuristic paper claims and report explicit conflicts with prior claims.

extract_training_parametersB

Extract only explicitly labeled training values with source locators.

get_paperB

Retrieve a canonical research work by paper ID, DOI, or arXiv ID.

extract_training_recipeB

Return only source-backed training parameters. Missing values are never guessed.

extract_training_recipe_from_urlB

Populate only explicitly reported training recipe fields from a paper URL.

get_bibtexA

Return canonical BibTeX without fabricating absent metadata.

compare_papersC

Compare verified local paper metadata; benchmark comparability stays explicit when evidence is absent.

verify_claimB

Resolve a persisted claim and report its current evidence status without upgrading derived evidence.

compare_methodsA

Compare two bounded method searches and report verified paper overlap without inferring benchmark equivalence.

compare_paper_to_codeA

Compare an explicit paper recipe with extracted revision-pinned repository configuration; repository content is never executed.

create_collectionB

Create or retrieve a persistent local paper collection.

list_collectionsA

List persistent local paper collections and their memberships.

add_paper_to_collectionA

Add an existing verified paper to a persistent local collection.

remove_paper_from_collectionA

Remove a paper from a persistent local collection without deleting the paper.

delete_collectionA

Delete a persistent local collection and its memberships without deleting papers.

export_research_packA

Export a deterministic local collection ResearchPack without remote calls.

import_research_packB

Import a bounded JSON ResearchPack as untrusted static metadata; no code is executed.

refresh_paperC

Refresh locally stored metadata through an available provider-native identifier.

refresh_collectionA

Refresh locally stored metadata for every paper in a collection, preserving per-paper outcomes.

research_methodC

Search verified literature for a named method with provider transparency and evidence.

build_research_reportB

Build a cited literature, implementation, or reproducibility report with facts and recommendations separated.

research_topicC

Build a provenance-preserving literature overview. Synthesis is labeled; no unsupported claims are emitted.

vector_searchC

Search indexed paper vectors through the configured vector backend.

find_implementationsB

Find GitHub repositories related to a verified paper or method. Status is UNKNOWN unless separately verified.

find_modelsB

Find model repositories on Hugging Face, including revision and card metadata when available.

find_datasetsA

Find dataset repositories on Hugging Face, including revision, card metadata, and reconciled paper links when available.

find_repository_configsA

List common configuration files at a repository revision without executing or recursively crawling repository content.

get_repository_configB

Read a repository file statically at an optional revision. Repository content is never executed.
