Lune Research MCP server (stdio + Streamable HTTP) proxying api.luneresearch.com
If you already use Lune, the lune mcp server is the piece that lets your assistant work with it directly. Lune Research MCP server (stdio + Streamable HTTP) proxying api.luneresearch.com.
Official Model Context Protocol server for Lune Research.
The toolset is worth reading before you wire it up, because it tells you what the integration is really for:
search_papers — Hybrid vector + BM25 search across the corpussearch_papers_many — Run many query variants in one call, RRF-mergedsearch_related_papers — Semantically nearest papers to a given paperget_paper_fulltext — Parsed full text (markdown or JSON)get_paper_citations — Citation graph (cited_by or cites)list_conferences — Indexed venues, optionally by categoryget_conference_papers — Paginated papers for a venueextract_from_papers — Structured field extraction across many papersverify_claims — Fact-check claims against the corpus with quotessearch_research_guidance — Curated reproducibility / methodology corpusget_research_guidance_doc — Full text of a guidance documentlist_subscriptions — Active conference subscriptionsConfiguration is passed through the environment: LUNE_API_KEY. Treat anything key-shaped as a real credential — scope it to the minimum the server needs, and rotate it if it ever lands in a shared config.
Because this one is hosted, setup is mostly authentication — you point your client at the endpoint and approve access. Nothing runs on your machine, so there is no runtime to keep patched.
Among the developer tooling options, the useful question is rarely "what can it do" but "what does it cost you to run" — permissions, credentials, and how much of your context its toolset consumes. Lune's toolset — search_papers, search_papers_many, search_related_papers and 11 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by retrogradelabs; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
SyncDev reviews every entry in this directory against the project's own documentation before publishing, and revisits them as servers change.
