Usage

The MCP server includes a Deep Dive Guide resource that teaches the AI how to orchestrate tools for comprehensive research workflows. The AI will automatically read this when needed.

Ask your Cursor AI:

Find Solana projects working on gasless transactions

Has anyone built a privacy-preserving stablecoin wallet?

Search for research papers about prediction markets

What were the most popular problem domains in Breakout hackathon?

Compare tech stacks used by winners vs non-winners

For deep research, trigger the full workflow:

Vet this idea: [your startup idea]

Deep dive on DeFi lending in Solana

Should I build a privacy-preserving stablecoin wallet?

Validate this: cross-border payment system with stablecoins

The AI will automatically orchestrate multiple tools following the 8-step deep dive process.
