Security Report
Academic Research Intelligence MCP is a well-structured education/research server with appropriate permissions for its purpose (network access for scholarly APIs, embeddings, and Solana payment verification). The codebase demonstrates solid authentication via Bearer tokens and x402 micropayments, with reasonable input validation. However, several moderate-severity issues warrant attention: missing timeout enforcement on some async operations, broad exception handling that could mask errors, potential SQL injection vectors in PostgREST filter construction, and insufficient logging of payment-related security events. Supply chain analysis found 5 known vulnerabilities in dependencies (1 critical, 3 high severity).

Tools
| Tool | Price | What it does |
|---|---|---|
search_papers | $0.01 | Paper search by query/year/field/venue/citations/open-access |
paper_detail | free | Full record — abstract, authors, citations, references, PDF |
citation_graph | $0.01 | Papers citing this / referenced by it (live OpenAlex) |
author_profile | $0.01 | h-index, papers, citations, primary field, recent activity |
trending_research | $0.01 | Trending topics + most-cited recent papers |
similar_papers | $0.05 | Semantic related-work finder via embeddings (pgvector) — premium |
daily_brief | $10 | Curated daily trending-research digest (premium) |
brief_summary | $0.50 | Top-5 signals — a sample of daily_brief |
mint_info | free | FoundryNet Data Network provenance info |
Free tier: 25 paid-tool queries/day per agent. After that the tool returns an
HTTP-402 with payment instructions — complete payment, then re-call with the same
args plus payment_tx=<reference>. An Authorization: Bearer fnet_… key bypasses
the paywall.
Sources
Daily (~4am PT): OpenAlex (primary, keyless, rich metadata + citations),
arXiv (CS/physics/math/bio preprints), PubMed (biomed). Abstracts are
embedded with fastembed (bge-small) for similar_papers (pgvector cosine).
citation_graph and author_profile resolve live from OpenAlex. Semantic
Scholar is an optional enhancement (TLDR/relevance via S2_API_KEY; keyless S2
rate-limits hard).
