Call tools/list dynamically to discover the tools currently visible for this connection. Visibility can depend on account tier and MCP API-key allowlists. A listed tool's final execution access can also depend on authentication and granted OAuth scopes. Read docs://auth and docs://tool-access for setup and access details. Use OAuth when your client supports it. For credential-based clients, send credentials only in request headers, never in URLs or query parameters.
Known tools 36
search_papersSearch academic and industry research papers using hybrid semantic-keyword search.
Inferred read-onlyresearch_opportunity_mapMap candidate research gaps, bridge opportunities, conservative conflict probes, and frontier papers inside a bounded academic embedding neighborhood.
Inferred read-onlyliterature_retrieveRetrieve bounded academic paper candidates for local Claude Code/Codex synthesis.
Inferred read-onlypaper_discoveryFan out a research question into bounded paper-layer searches, deduplicate the candidates, and return stable document IDs for downstream paper-grain workflows.
Inferred read-onlyliterature_positioningPosition a thesis against nearby paper-layer literature, returning close papers, citation-anchor candidates, and verification-needed positioning signals.
Inferred read-onlyevidence_packBuild a paper-level evidence pack for a claim from selected paper IDs or bounded paper retrieval, with citation-ready metadata and retained document IDs.
Inferred read-onlyfred_searchSearch FRED (Federal Reserve Economic Data) series by text and return candidate series IDs with titles, frequency, and units.
Inferred read-onlyfred_series_batchFetch multiple FRED time series at once and inject a single Python preamble that defines one DataFrame per series (e.g., _CSUSHPISA_df) plus a fred_series dict and fred_series_ids list.
Inferred read-onlyget_metric_definitionsDiscover the chatbot-facing CRE metric keys with human labels, descriptions, units, data sources, polarity (higher_is_better / lower_is_better / neutral), and category.
Inferred read-onlyscreen_marketsMulti-factor CRE market screen combining NUMERIC HARD FILTERS with a WEIGHTED COMPOSITE SCORE across up to 8 metrics from cbsa_market_data (925 metros).
Inferred read-onlyget_national_macroNational macro time series from the national_macro table: Real GDP, CPI, 10Y/2Y Treasury, 30Y mortgage rate, Fed funds.
Inferred read-onlyget_market_trendsHistorical metro-level time series from the time_series table — deeper history than the 24-month window in cbsa_market_data snapshots.
Inferred read-onlyget_cre_trendAnnual CRE transaction trend for a metro (credeals.cre_market_timeseries; CMBS by origination vintage, ~2015-2025): cap rate / occupancy / vacancy / DSCR / NOI-per-SF per year.
Inferred read-onlysearch_cre_listingsLive individual CRE listings for sale or lease from credeals.cre_listings.
Inferred read-onlyget_cre_compsIndividual securitized (CMBS) property comps behind market aggregates (credeals.cmbs_properties): valuation, NOI, cap rate, occupancy, DSCR, NOI/SF, size, year built; optional loan terms.
Inferred read-onlyget_reit_transaction_capsNATIONAL, by-sector REIT transaction cap rates from REIT quarterly supplementals (credeals.cre_reit_transaction_caps; time-series cre_reit_cap_timeseries): the weighted-average acquisition/disposition cap rate + dollar volume REITs disclose -- current institutional deal pricing.
Inferred read-onlyget_cbre_cap_rate_surveyCBRE Cap Rate Survey -- the survey-benchmark CRE lane (credeals.cre_cap_rate_survey_latest / _timeseries / cre_cap_rate_survey): the semiannual cap rate CBRE's professionals say they would underwrite for a market x property type.
Inferred read-onlyexport_citationsFormat supplied citation metadata into ready-to-download files (BibTeX, Markdown, JSON).
Inferred read-onlyrender_citationsRender corpus-verified citations by resolving OpenAlex IDs, DOI IDs, chat citation sets, document snapshots, or run IDs against the Corbis corpus.
Inferred read-onlytop_cited_articlesRank the most-cited academic papers within specific journals, optionally filtered by topic.
Inferred read-onlyformat_citationFormat academic paper citations in APA 7th, MLA 9th, Chicago 17th, Harvard, or BibTeX style.
Inferred read-onlysearch_datasetsSearch for free finance research datasets by topic, use case, or data type.
Inferred read-onlyfind_academic_identitySearch for the current user's public research identity using profile data.
Inferred read-onlyconfirm_academic_identityLink or unlink the user's research identity using public anchors such as ORCID, Google Scholar, or an opaque candidate token.
Inferred read-onlyget_research_pulseReturn the authenticated user's Corbis research pulse for ResearchBar and other MCP clients.
Inferred read-onlyget_data_freshnessReturn Corbis data-source freshness in one call: data-through dates and last-refreshed timestamps for the academic corpus, CRE market data, and economic data.
Inferred read-onlyverify_bibtexParse a BibTeX file or inline BibTeX content, resolve each reference against the Corbis academic paper index, and return field-level corrections (title, year, DOI, author, journal).
