MCP Server
Connect Claude or Codex to Agent Bayes
Connect your assistant to Agent Bayes and it can work with your library directly: search your papers by meaning, put a question to the Agent Bayes research agent and get back a cited answer, or build a mindmap out of what it finds.
What your assistant can do
Organize your library
Create projects and libraries, then upload and index new papers into them.
Search by meaning
Find the passages that answer a question, with the paper and page they come from.
Ask the research agent
Hand a question to the Agent Bayes agent and get back an answer where every claim is cited.
Build mindmaps
Create and edit mindmaps, and let the agent add cited claims as your research grows.
Installation
Connected in three steps
Create a key
In the app, open Settings → API Keys and click Create API key. The key appears once. Copy it now. If you use more than one device, make a key for each, so you can revoke one without breaking the others.
Tell your assistant about it
Run in your terminal
claude mcp add --transport http agent-bayes \ https://api.agentbayes.com/mcp/ \ --header "X-API-Key: sk-your-key"The same key also works as
Authorization: Bearer sk-your-keyif your client prefers standard bearer headers.Ask something
Try: "Look at my Agent Bayes projects and tell me what my papers say about X, with citations." Your assistant reads the operating manual first, then gets to work.
Research skill
Automated Research Skills
The MCP server gives your assistant the tools. The research skill shows it how to use them well, at whatever size you ask for, with you guiding each step or checking in at milestones.
- Answers a quick question from your papers, or carries a seed idea all the way to a typeset paper
- Finds and indexes papers, then shows what your library covers and where it is thin
- Reviews a draft: its citations, its numbers, and its method
- Checks every citation against the page it cites before you see it
Install the plugin
/plugin marketplace add loudinthecloud/z4n4-automated-research-skills
/plugin install z4n4-automated-research@z4n4-automated-research-skillsThen ask
"What does my library say about this question, and where is the evidence thin?"
Also runs in Codex. It uses the same API key as the MCP server. Free for personal and academic use.
