Click on "Deploy Server".
Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state.
In the chat, type @ followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@Academic Research Intelligence MCP search papers on quantum computing from 2024"
That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed.
Here is a step-by-step guide with screenshots.
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 — every result carries verifiable provenance. See also: gov-contracts-mcp, brand-intel-mcp, patent-intel-mcp, financial-signals-mcp, weather-intel-mcp, cyber-intel-mcp, compliance-mcp, fact-check-mcp, oss-intel-mcp, social-intel-mcp.

Free tier: 25 paid-tool queries/day per agent. After that the tool returns an
HTTP-402 with payment instructions — complete payment, then re-call with the same
args plus payment_tx=<reference>. An Authorization: Bearer fnet_… key bypasses
the paywall.
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).
