research-primitives

Research primitives are core operations for retrieving, extracting, generating, and verifying scholarly evidence across papers and topics. They provide discoverability of inputs, outputs, and MCP command integration to support end-to-end literature workflows.

To extract claims and link evidence, use the claim_extract and evidence_link primitives. These operations support evidence assembly with provenance, enabling you to link specific scholarly claims directly to their source literature across multiple papers.

Yes, you can draft sections anchored to linked claims using the section_draft primitive. This operation generates text for research sections while maintaining provenance by anchoring the drafted content directly to previously extracted and linked evidence.

To start a literature review workflow, sequentially apply the paper_search, paper_ingest, paper_summarize, and claim_extract primitives. This workflow allows you to retrieve, ingest, summarize, and extract claims from papers on a sample topic.

Yes, the MCP toolkit supports identifying research gaps and baselines using the gap_detect and baseline_identify primitives. These operations help researchers discover missing evidence within literature and establish baseline references for scholarly topics.
