"Understanding the Purpose of Research" matching MCP servers:

A read-only FastMCP server for academic research that lets agents search papers, inspect metadata, follow citation graphs, generate BibTeX, and read full texts of open-access PDFs via semantic scholar, OpenAlex, arXiv, DBLP, and Crossref.

Enables searching and retrieving articles, sections, and tags from The Guardian via the Guardian Open Platform API.

Per-unit cost of 13 back-office tasks done by a person vs by software, in the US, Greece and Ukraine, with an official statistic behind every hourly wage. Bundled data, works offline.

Enables producing verifiable FORRT nanopublication chains with grounded quote verification and compact Science Live constellation projections, supporting reproduction, replication, and new research workflows.

Provides live access to Canadian economic data via the Bank of Canada's Valet API, including exchange rates, policy interest rates, CPI, bond yields, and commodity prices.

Searches open-access research papers by keyword and retrieves detailed metadata by CORE ID, including titles, authors, abstracts, DOIs, and download links.

Enables querying a single academic paper by DOI, PMID, or arXiv ID to retrieve its open-access copies, licenses, linked datasets, code, citations, and retraction status from multiple scholarly sources in one call.

Enables AI assistants to search and read an open quant research record: papers, topics, killed candidates, trial counts, live paper-trading sleeves, and a tamper-evident chain head. It provides six read-only tools over public CDN files, returning each source's stated limits alongside paper-execution-only caveats.

Enables AI agents to search The Met's open-access collection by keyword with filters for images, on-view status, medium, and year range, and to fetch rich object details such as artist bio, dimensions, department, and gallery number. Also lists the museum's curatorial departments so searches can be scoped, all without an API key.

MCP server for legal research that enables searching US case law via CourtListener, retrieving full opinion text, and looking up legal definitions from Cornell's Wex. Students can connect via a remote connector in Claude.ai to cite real, free legal sources.

Enables open-access academic paper search and lookup via arXiv and OpenAlex, plus journal-quality color palettes for scientific figure styling.

Read-only MCP server for the July 2026 survey of AI in open-source design systems, enabling agents to query 19 systems' affordances, coercion techniques, and platform data via 9 tools, 2 resources, and 2 prompts.

Enables in-chat scientific viewers for molecular structures, sequence alignments, and slide images, plus data tools for searching structures, fetching sequences, aligning them, and drafting NGS analysis plans.

Enables deterministic, harness-neutral research workflows by unifying research object identity, evidence receipts, claim-evidence graphs, and append-only decision logs, along with specialized scholarly skills for literature analysis, reproducibility audits, and multi-agent review.

Enables dental research and clinical intelligence by providing tools to search PubMed, systematic reviews, verify citations, and query ClinicalTrials.gov directly from Claude Web and Claude Desktop.

MIT ABS sister MCP — same five tools, citations. Pair with the ausdata gateway for joins and Embed.

Enables read-only search and metadata retrieval from the official arXiv API, including tools to find papers by keyword, author, category, or ID.

Provides AI assistants with real-time and historical gold buying condition scores, including current readings, past data, and zone performance since 1971.

Provides access to the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) Data API. This server allows AI assistants to query and analyze ABS statistical data.

Enables AI agents to research U.S. companies and associated people using official state registries and free regulatory datasets, with normalized evidence and optional browser automation.
