README

Official Model Context Protocol server for Lune Research.

Exposes 16 tools and 6 guided research workflows (prompts) for searching, retrieving, comparing, fact-checking, and subscribing to academic papers across security, ML, NLP, CV, and systems venues. Two transports:

  • stdio: run locally via npx @retrograde-labs/lune-mcp-server. Reads LUNE_API_KEY from the environment.
  • Streamable HTTP: hosted at https://mcp.luneresearch.com/mcp. Pass your PAT or OAuth token as Authorization: Bearer ....

Quick start (Claude Desktop, Cursor, etc.)

Prompts

Reusable research workflows, surfaced by MCP clients as slash commands (e.g. /literature_review). Each runs a guided, multi-tool sequence grounded in the corpus, so common research tasks are one command instead of hand-orchestrating the tools.

Prompt What it does Key arguments
/literature_review Survey a topic and synthesise themes, foundational vs recent work, and open gaps topic (+ optional venues, since_year)
/find_related_work From your abstract, find and organise prior work to cite and distinguish your contribution from abstract (+ optional venues)
/compare_papers Build a structured comparison table across papers, read from full text topic (+ optional columns)
/verify_draft Fact-check a draft or list of claims against the corpus, with a verbatim quote per claim draft
/trace_citations Trace a paper's lineage: its foundations, what built on it, and adjacent work paper
/research_methodology Grounded advice on experiment design, ablations, evaluation, rebuttals, or venue choice question
