Scanned 27 days ago Due for re-check
A server can change after it's graded. Re-run the automated scan to refresh this report.
This grade is deterministic and reproducible: the same server surface always yields the same grade under a given algorithm version. It is a real automated assessment computed by the MCPGrade engine from what the probe actually observed — not a fabricated or opinion score. It is not a manual human pentest, so it can miss context-specific risks.
Every signal below was measured directly by the automated probe. The grade is derived only from evidence like this — nothing is assumed.
The tomesphere-mcp MCP server exposes 9 tools, focused primarily on general-purpose capabilities. Its published description reads: "Gives AI agents search access to millions of scientific papers with LLM-generated summaries, citation graphs, linked entities, and full text". It communicates over Streamable HTTP using the 2026-07-28 protocol revision, and does not require authorization to connect. MCPGrade currently rates tomesphere-mcp F — a critical issue was found and the server should not be connected as-is. Its most notable findings include "Cross-tool shadowing" and "No authorization on a public remote server". This report is a deterministic, reproducible automated assessment: the same observed surface always yields the same grade under a given algorithm version, and it is refreshed as new scans arrive and free to read — but it is not a substitute for a manual human security review. Always re-check tomesphere-mcp's advertised tools, transport security, and authorization posture before connecting an autonomous agent or sharing sensitive context with it.
Add tomesphere-mcp to an MCP client using the endpoint below. Review the grade and findings above before granting an autonomous agent access.

Search 8.5 million academic papers (arXiv + biomedical: PMC / bioRxiv / medRxiv, all disciplines) by topic, keyword, author, or linked entity (gene / protein / disease). Each hit returns id, title, TL
Fetch a paper's full metadata: title, authors, year, abstract, TLDR (LLM-generated), key findings, citation count, GitHub repos, HuggingFace models/datasets, videos, peer reviews, and links. Accepts a
Find papers semantically similar to a given paper using SPECTER2 embeddings (trained on scientific-citation triplets). Returns nearest neighbors with TLDR. Use when the user wants 'papers like X' or '
Get papers that cite the given paper (who refers to this work). Use when the user asks 'who cites X', 'what's the impact', or wants follow-up work. Note: 2024+ citation coverage is sparse; indexing in
Get the papers that this paper cites (its bibliography). Use when the user asks 'what does X cite' or 'show me the references'.
Fetch a paper's full body text as Markdown (methods, results, protocols, inline tables) — use for deep questions the abstract can't answer. Accepts an arXiv ID (2401.12345), a PMC ID (PMC5339222), or
Get a paper's real figure images — URLs, labels, and captions. Most biomedical papers have figures; arXiv papers often don't. Accepts an arXiv ID, PMC ID, or bioRxiv/medRxiv DOI.
Get the biomedical entities linked to a paper: genes, proteins, chemicals, diseases, species, mutations, cell lines, and clinical-trial (NCT) IDs. Accepts an arXiv ID, PMC ID, or bioRxiv/medRxiv DOI.
Resolve a gene/protein name (e.g. 'TP53', 'CD44') or UniProt accession to its 3D structure — returns the UniProt accession + AlphaFold model URL (and PDB when available). Great for a gene named in a p
Sorted worst-first. Each finding shows its severity, what it means, its OWASP MCP Top-10 mapping, and a recommended fix — the check id links to the exact methodology row that produced it.
