sparkit-mcp
MCP server for SPARKIT — call the scientific research agent from Claude Desktop, Cursor, Claude Code, or any other MCP-compatible client.
Two tools are exposed:
research— submit a scientific question. SPARKIT searches the literature, reads the relevant papers, and returns a cited Markdown report. Blocks until the job finishes (default 4 min) and returns the full report inline.get_job_status— fetch a previously-submitted job by id. Useful whenresearchreturned before the job finished, or to revisit a past report.
