Infranodus MCP Server Infranodus tools 40

  • generate_knowledge_graphGenerate a knowledge graph with main topics, topical clusters, concepts, concepts (nodes) relations (edges) and structural gaps. Only use when explicitly asked to analyze a text or generate a knowledge graph. Do not use for short clarifying questions that you already have an answer to from the context of the conversation.
  • create_knowledge_graphCreate a knowledge graph in InfraNodus from text or from a URL, save it, and provide its name and a link to it for future use.
  • generate_ontology_graphUse AI to generate a reasoning ontology knowledge graph (entities and the relations between them) and optionally save it as a InfraNodus graph. Three sources, provide exactly one: prompt (a topic — one AI call), text (a long document or a structural digest of a project, chunked server-side), or sourceGraphName (an existing graph — e.g. a fully ingested repo, vault, or corpus — whose statements are read back, chunked, and condensed into an ontology). Set ontologyMode: 'codebase' for software projects, or 'procedural' to write a DIGEST of how the project works (prose statements with [[wikilinks]], not relation triples) from an already-uploaded graph — save it as <repo|vault>-<project>-digest for optimize_knowledge_base. Use to get a rich overview, a reasoning map of a topic, or a condensed 'how it fits together' graph of a large corpus.
  • memory_add_relationsAdd relations to the InfraNodus memory from text, save it, and provide its name and a link to it for future use.
  • memory_get_relationsProvide a list of relations from the InfraNodus memory for a given concept or entity
  • analyze_existing_graph_by_nameExtract and analyze the content of an existing InfraNodus graph from your account.
  • analyze_textExtract and analyze a graph from text, URL, YouTube video transcript, or an existing InfraNodus graph.
  • generate_content_gapsGenerate content gaps from text, URL, or an existing graph using knowledge graph analysis.
  • generate_topical_clustersGenerate topics and clusters of keywords from text, URL, or an existing graph using knowledge graph analysis.
  • generate_research_questionsAnalyze text or an existing graph and generate innovative research questions based on the content gaps identified between the topical clusters. Provide either text, url, or graphName. Can be used to improve the text and the discourse it relates to
  • generate_research_ideasAnalyze text or an existing graph and generate innovative research ideas based on the content gaps identified between the topical clusters inside the text that can be used to improve the text and the discourse it relates to.
  • generate_responses_from_graphUse text, URL, or an existing InfraNodus knowledge graph and generate responses and expert advice based on a prompt provided.
