This one has been quiet for a while
Quiet is not dead — but it is worth knowing when it wakes up, or when someone else takes it over. We watch the repository and tell you either way.

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on.
If a tool disappears, we record the date.
researchpilot
researchpilot_build_collection_recipe
Build a reproducible collection plan for YouTube metadata, web text, legal references, data APIs, or a bounded text corpus. This returns a plan only and never claims collection occurred.
researchpilot_capabilities
Read canonical ResearchPilot capability authority. Use this before claiming that ResearchPilot can directly execute a research method.
researchpilot_check_method
Check one ResearchPilot capability by canonical capability ID and distinguish discussion/planning, direct execution, certified core, registered engine, and specialist handoff.
researchpilot_content_analysis_template
Create a bounded content-analysis codebook and validation skeleton with sampling/coding/context units, category contracts, pilot coding and human/AI validation requirements. Categories remain researcher proposals.
researchpilot_get_profile
Return the authenticated ResearchPilot user profile for the current OAuth connection. Use only for user identity/personalization, not as research evidence.
researchpilot_get_project_context
Read one authenticated user's cloud ResearchPilot project state: research question, decisions, analysis/result summaries, stale state, source identities/digests and local-artifact availability. Raw local research files are intentionally absent.
researchpilot_get_user_memory
Read the authenticated user's ResearchPilot working preferences and bounded routing history. These are workflow/presentation signals, never scientific authority.
researchpilot_handoff_context
Read the immutable ResearchContext snapshot carried by a ResearchPilot handoff, including an evidence catalog without source bodies. This does not mutate Studio state or authorize execution.
researchpilot_handoff_summary
Validate the outer ResearchPilot specialist handoff identity and return a bounded context summary without source bodies. Use the original handoff package as the authority.
researchpilot_list_projects
List the authenticated user's active ResearchPilot projects, newest first. Use before choosing a project when the user's phrase such as 'my study' is ambiguous.
researchpilot_list_work_artifacts
List saved working artifacts for one authenticated ResearchPilot project. Use this to continue prior host-AI plans, interpretations, critiques, or drafts without treating them as researcher-approved canonical decisions.
researchpilot_open_workspace
Open the interactive ResearchPilot workspace when the user wants to select a project, inspect method capability, review research context, or edit an instruction before continuing in the host AI conversation.
researchpilot_prepare_specialist_execution
Prepare a rigorous specialist execution request bound to the authenticated project, exact ResearchContext digest, capability authority, and input artifact digests. This does not execute the analysis or transfer local raw files.
researchpilot_read_handoff_evidence
Read one exact evidence page from a ResearchPilot handoff after verifying the outer source digest against the immutable ResearchContext snapshot.
researchpilot_read_work_artifact
Read one saved working artifact after verifying that both project and artifact belong to the authenticated ResearchPilot owner.
researchpilot_record_routing_feedback
Record explicit user feedback about a ResearchPilot capability/tool outcome. Call only when the user explicitly accepts, rejects, corrects, or reports failure/success. Do not store the user's full research question or source text.
researchpilot_research_registry
Search ResearchPilot's unified method/model, source-provider, official-reference, or planned-plugin registry. Planning/discovery only; registry presence never authorizes execution or collection.
researchpilot_save_work_artifact
Save a substantive project-specific plan, interpretation, critique, draft, or specialist result as a non-canonical WORKING artifact. Use for durable ResearchPilot continuity; this never accepts a research decision or authorizes execution.
researchpilot_search_datasets
Search ResearchPilot dataset/data-paper providers with explicit provider availability states. Returned records remain source candidates, not automatic dataset-fit approval.
researchpilot_search_literature
Search research literature through ResearchPilot's OpenAlex/Crossref adapter. Bibliographic verification is not scientific-quality or full-text verification.
researchpilot_text_analysis_pilot
Create a bounded text-analysis pilot package: collection recipe, codebook skeleton, corpus manifest, pilot/validation plan, AG-UI state, and specialist handoff route. Design only; no coding or validation is claimed.
researchpilot_update_user_preferences
Update bounded ResearchPilot working/writing preferences only when the user explicitly states a stable preference. These preferences affect presentation/workflow, never scientific authority or method validity.
researchpilot_validate_specialist_receipt
Validate a specialist execution receipt against its ResearchPilot request and authenticated project/context identity. This verifies identity, input digests, sample accounting, diagnostics and validation-state structure; it does not independently validate scientific correctness.

ResearchPilot — questions
Answers built from our own checks of this server.
What can ResearchPilot do?
It exposes 23 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: researchpilot_build_collection_recipe, researchpilot_capabilities, researchpilot_check_method, researchpilot_content_analysis_template, researchpilot_get_profile, researchpilot_get_project_context and 17 more. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README.
How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →
Is ResearchPilot working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 92 of 92 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 292 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
Is ResearchPilot still maintained?
The linked repository no longer exists on GitHub — it was deleted or made private. We show this because it changes what you can expect: an unmaintained server may keep answering for months and then stop without warning.
How do I connect ResearchPilot?
Copy the ready config from this page. We generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each in the form that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.
Does ResearchPilot need an API key?
No. ResearchPilot completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 23 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is ResearchPilot?
It answers our handshake in 292 ms on average, which is faster than 57% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
