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.

            subprocess.run(cmd, check=True, capture_output=True)
                    requests.post(f"https://api.telegram.org/bot{telegram_token}/sendMessage",
    "!pip install -q langgraph openai rank_bm25 trafilatura pypdf textual rich fastapi uvicorn jinja2 python-multipart sse-starlette mcp pyyaml pytest\n",

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.

This one needs environment variables set before it will start: OPENAI_BASE_URL (Any OpenAI-compatible endpoint. Default: OpenAI cloud. Use http://localhost:11434/v1 for Ollama.), OPENAI_API_KEY (API key for the endpoint above. Use 'ollama' as a sentinel value when running locally against Ollama.), MODEL_SYNTHESIZER (Model identifier used for the synthesize node. Defaults to 'gpt-5-mini'; set to 'gemma3:4b' for Mac-local Ollama.), MODEL_PLANNER (Model for the plan / classify / critic / compress / verify nodes. Defaults to 'gpt-5-nano'.), EMBED_MODEL (Embedding model identifier (for retrieval + memory). Default 'text-embedding-3-small'; use 'nomic-embed-text' on Ollama.), SEARXNG_URL (Base URL of the SearXNG meta-search instance. Default http://localhost:8888.), LOCAL_CORPUS_PATH (Path to an index directory built via scripts/index_corpus.py. When set, local corpus hits augment web search.), ENABLE_RERANK (Set to '1' to enable the BAAI/bge-reranker-v2-m3 cross-encoder rerank stage. First run downloads ~560MB.), ENABLE_FETCH (Set to '0' to skip the trafilatura full-page fetch stage. Default '1'.). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

Agentic Research — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Agentic Research?
Agentic Research runs on your own machine over stdio — there is no network address to reach, so uptime cannot be measured for it by anyone. What can be measured is adoption: the pypi package agentic-research-engine was installed 74 times last week.
How do I connect Agentic Research?
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 runs locally, so the command pulls agentic-research-engine straight from pypi; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use Agentic Research?
The pypi package agentic-research-engine was installed 74 times in the last week. Week over week that is -27%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Agentic Research open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in Python and 2 stars on GitHub. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
