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, cyber-intel-mcp, compliance-mcp, fact-check-mcp, oss-intel-mcp, social-intel-mcp.

Tools
| Tool | Price | What it does |
|---|---|---|
search_papers | $0.01 | Paper search by query/year/field/venue/citations/open-access |
paper_detail | free | Full record — abstract, authors, citations, references, PDF |
citation_graph | $0.01 | Papers citing this / referenced by it (live OpenAlex) |
author_profile | $0.01 | h-index, papers, citations, primary field, recent activity |
trending_research | $0.01 | Trending topics + most-cited recent papers |
similar_papers | $0.02 | Semantic related-work finder via embeddings (pgvector) — premium |
mint_info | free | FoundryNet Data Network + MINT Protocol |
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).
