Scientific research knowledge and tool

What we measured

Over the last 30 days we probed this MCP server 30 times on 30 days; it answered 30 (100%). Median response 863 ms, 95th percentile 3,475 ms.

When we called tools/list it returned 13 tools, including search_papers, search_papers_many, get_paper_fulltext, over MCP protocol revision 2025-11-25.

Among the 53,642 reachable MCP servers in our snapshot of 2026-11-13 01:12 UTC, it is faster than 7% and higher on readiness than 60%.

Tools (13)

As returned by the server's own tools/list when we called it.

search_papers: Searches full-text, peer-reviewed papers from top-tier venues. Use for questions about academic papers, research topics, literature reviews, surveys, “what's be…
search_papers_many: Use for a LITERATURE SWEEP or survey: a research question broad enough to need several angles, e.g. "what's been done on X", a related-work section, or a state-…
get_paper_fulltext: Use this when the user asks “what does the methods/results section say”, wants to quote a specific section, or when the abstract isn't enough to verify a claim.…
get_paper_citations: Use this when the user asks “what does this paper build on”, “what built on this”, traces influence chains, asks for follow-up work, or wants the lineage of an…
list_conferences: Use this when the user asks “what conferences does Lune track”, “is venue X covered”, or wants a category-level browse (e.g. AI/ML, security, databases, softwar…
get_conference_papers: Use this when the user asks for papers from a specific conference (optionally a year), e.g. “most-cited NeurIPS 2024 papers”, “show me CCS 2025 accepted papers”…
search_related_papers: Given a paper_id, return the most semantically similar papers by embedding distance, NOT by citation links. Use for “more papers like this one” / “adjacent work…
extract_from_papers: Pull a structured table out of up to 50 papers in ONE call: you define the columns (`fields`: each a snake_case `name`, a `type`, and an optional `description`)…
verify_claims: Fact-check 1 to 25 natural-language claims against Lune's peer-reviewed corpus in ONE call. For each claim the server retrieves the most relevant passages and a…
gather_evidence: Use for a multi-part research task when you need to know whether your gathered evidence is SUFFICIENT, what is still MISSING, and what to search next, without t…
search_research_guidance: Use before recommending experimental design, ablation strategy, evaluation metrics, baselines, reproducibility, paper structure, related-work organisation, venu…
get_research_guidance_doc: Use this AFTER `search_research_guidance` when you need the full text of a guidance document (not just the matched excerpt), for example to quote a passage or f…
send_feedback: Sends the user's feedback about Lune to the Lune team. Use it when the user says something about Lune itself (papers it missed, results that did not fit, an err…

MCP readiness

B · 83/100

Readiness is how fully this listing follows its protocol and how it behaved in our probes over 30 days. For x402 and A2A listings it contributes up to 15 of the 100 quality points; for MCP listings it is shown for reference only. Search order and leaderboards use the separate quality grade (here B, 75.8/100), which weighs availability, conformance, p95 speed and descriptor. How the two differ

Valid MCP handshake	10/10	initialize and tools/list both answered.
Live MCP endpoint	25/25	Endpoint answers the MCP initialize handshake (1621 ms).
Protocol revision	8/10	Speaks MCP 2025-11-25, 1 revision(s) behind 2026-07-28.
Signed descriptor	n/a	No MCP standard defines a signed server descriptor.
Uptime (30 days)	15/15	30/30 probes succeeded over 30 days (100%).
Tool declaration	10/10	Lists 13 tool(s) with descriptions.
Verified identity	5/10	Publisher declared (repository, package or homepage); claim this listing to verify domain control.
Freshness + modern flags	0/5	not seen in a source for over 30 days.
Auth declaration	2/5	Declares credential scheme: smithery_api_key.

Applicable criteria total 90 points, scaled to 100.

Responsiveness: Responsive (1621 ms; bands ≤2.5 s, ≤5 s, ≤8 s, slower; penalty only).

Measured 2026-11-12.

Nine criteria, the same as the A2A readiness score, read from our daily MCP probe (initialize + tools/list) and 30-day probe history. No MCP standard defines a signed server descriptor, so that criterion is n/a and the other 90 points are scaled to 100. Grades: A>=90, B>=75, C>=60, D>=40, F<40. Display only: search order uses the quality grade.

Compared with peers

Against 53,642 reachable MCP servers in our daily snapshot (2026-11-13 01:12 UTC). Display only; it does not change search order.

Readiness: Higher than 60% of peers; This listing 83 · peer median 81
Latency: Faster than 7% of peers; This listing 1,116 ms · peer median 349 ms

Where it loses the most points, and how to win them back

Verified identity −5 — Claim the listing and prove control of its domain.
Now: Publisher declared (repository, package or homepage); claim this listing to verify domain control.
Freshness + modern flags −5 — Keep the listing current in the registry or source it comes from.
Now: not seen in a source for over 30 days.
Auth declaration −3 — State how to authenticate (an auth scheme, or that none is needed).
Now: Declares credential scheme: smithery_api_key.
