## Description
Search peer-reviewed papers and research methodology guidance from your AI agent.

## Claude Desktop Quick Installation
Heuristic fallback — verify the package name and runner against the repository README before running it. Uses `npx` (confidence: low):

```json
"mcpServers": {
  "lune-research": {
    "command": "npx",
    "args": ["-y","lune-research-2"]
  }
}
```

## Documentation & README

# @retrograde-labs/lune-mcp-server

<!-- mcp-name: com.luneresearch/lune -->

Official Model Context Protocol server for [Lune Research](https://luneresearch.com).

Exposes 12 tools and 6 guided research workflows (prompts) for searching, retrieving, comparing, and fact-checking academic papers across security, ML, NLP, CV, and systems venues, plus retrieval over your own uploaded workspace documents. 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.)

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "lune-research": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@retrograde-labs/lune-mcp-server"],
      "env": {
        "LUNE_API_KEY": "lune_your_personal_access_token"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

## 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`                                  |
