Academic Research Intelligence MCP

Academic research intelligence for AI agents — paper search, scientific literature, citation analysis, arXiv search, author metrics, trending research, and a semantic related-work finder (pgvector). Built on free scholarly sources.

Part of the FoundryNet Data Network. Attest your agent's literature review with MINT Protocol. See also: gov-contracts-mcp, brand-intel-mcp, patent-intel-mcp, financial-signals-mcp, weather-intel-mcp, compliance-mcp, cyber-intel-mcp.

Live MCP endpoint (Streamable HTTP): https://academic-intel-mcp-production.up.railway.app/mcp

Tools

Free tier: 25 paid-tool queries/day per agent. Then x402: the tool returns an HTTP-402 with a Solana USDC payment memo — pay it, re-call with the same args plus payment_tx=<signature>. An Authorization: Bearer fnet_… key bypasses the paywall.

Sources

Daily (~4am PT): OpenAlex (primary, keyless, rich metadata + citations), arXiv (CS/physics/math/bio preprints), PubMed (biomed). Abstracts are embedded with fastembed (bge-small) for similar_papers (pgvector cosine). citation_graph and author_profile resolve live from OpenAlex. Semantic Scholar is an optional enhancement (TLDR/relevance via S2_API_KEY; keyless S2 rate-limits hard).
