Capabilities

What this server is able to do. For an MCP server this is often the job itself — a terminal server runs commands because that is what it is for. Listed so you know what you are plugging in, not as an accusation.

Is this your server and something here is wrong? Tell us — corrections are free and do not require a plan.

This code can reach further than it looks

We found places where it runs commands, builds paths or queries from values it is given. None of that is a flaw by itself — it becomes one when the code changes, and code changes quietly between releases. We re-read it on every one.

IlyaGusev Academia MCP — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Is IlyaGusev Academia MCP working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 0 of 91 checks got a reply (0.0%), average response time 468 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

The registry lists IlyaGusev Academia MCP as active — why does it not respond?

The official MCP registry stores what the author submitted; it does not verify that the server still runs. We check the endpoint ourselves, and this one does not answer. Catalogues that copy the registry without checking will show it as working.

How do I connect IlyaGusev Academia MCP?

Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.

Does IlyaGusev Academia MCP need an API key?

No. IlyaGusev Academia MCP completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

Is IlyaGusev Academia MCP open source?

Yes — it is published under the Apache-2.0 licence, written in Python, 91 stars on GitHub and 3 open issues. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
