Lune Research

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 ....

Tools

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.
