Tools
Functions exposed to the LLM to take actions
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| literature_searchA | Search scientific literature across PubMed, arXiv, and Semantic Scholar. Returns structured results with titles, abstracts, authors, publication years, and citation counts. Supports date range filtering and field-specific queries. |
| compound_lookupA | Look up chemical compound properties from PubChem and ChEMBL. Returns molecular weight, SMILES, LogP, TPSA, H-bond donors/acceptors, Lipinski rule-of-5 drug-likeness assessment, synonyms, and optionally bioactivity and clinical trial phase data. |
| gpu_spot_pricesA | Returns live GPU spot prices across AWS, CoreWeave, Lambda Labs, and Vast.ai. Includes interruption probabilities, on-demand comparison prices, and optional 1hr/4hr price forecasts with buy/wait recommendations. Use this to find the cheapest available GPU slot for a workload. |
| patent_prior_art_searchB | Search USPTO and EPO patent databases for prior art. Accepts a technical description and optional keywords, CPC classification, and date range. Returns ranked patent results with titles, abstracts, assignees, inventors, and CPC codes. Highest-value tool — patent agents pay premium rates per search. |
| scientific_dataA | Fetch real-time scientific data from major public APIs. Datasets: earthquakes (USGS), air_quality (OpenAQ), solar_events (NASA DONKI), nasa_apod. Supports geographic filtering by lat/lon/radius. Returns structured, agent-ready data. |
| analyticsA | Query usage analytics and revenue data for this MCP server. Returns call volumes, revenue, success rates, latency, and dynamic pricing recommendations. |
