Research retrieval

Search infrastructure for evidence-heavy AI workflows

Space Frontiers provides a web interface, REST API, and MCP server over papers, books, patents, reference works, and selected public discussions. Start from the workflow you need to support.

Retrieval workflows

Citation-grounded agents

Give an agent compact search results, canonical source URIs, bounded full text, and document-level passage search.

Systematic reviews

Build a traceable discovery and screening pipeline across scholarly metadata, abstracts, and available full text.

Patent prior-art search

Search patents alongside papers and technical reference works, then preserve identifiers for expert review.

One corpus, three interfaces

Prototype in the search interface, automate the same retrieval patterns through REST, or give an agent bounded read-only tools through MCP.

Web search: Explore queries and inspect source documents before integrating.
REST API: Search, filter, rerank, and fetch documents in application code.
MCP server: Search and fetch from Claude, ChatGPT, editors, and other MCP clients.
