FORRT Research tools (15)
write = sends, deletes, buys or postsRead from the package source without running it. The installed server may list more.
cito_to_wikidataMirror published CiTO citations into Wikidata — as a batch for a human to submit.
constellationThe FORRT chain(s) reachable from a published nanopub URI, as a compact projection you can actually read.
constellation_rawThe unprojected `/np/constellation` response, including every node and edge.
list_schemasWhich chain steps and vocabularies this server can look up.
prior_workWhat has already been claimed about a paper — the starting point for new work, whether that work is a replication or a fresh study.
resolve_doiDoes this DOI resolve, and to what?
template_fieldsThe exact form fields of one FORRT chain step, from the live template.
validate_chain_draftCheck `nanopubs/chain-draft.json` before handing it to the chain wizard.
validate_draftCheck one drafted nanopub against its template and the real world.
validate_draftsCheck every draft in a `nanopubs/drafts/` directory at once.
validate_rocrateCheck an RO-Crate before it is released or deposited (e.g. in ROHub).
verify_chainVerify a published FORRT chain. Run this before announcing it anywhere.
verify_quoteProve that a candidate quotation is really in a source PDF, before it is published as verbatim.
vocabularyThe allowed values of a FORRT controlled vocabulary, from its template.
wikidata_lookupFind real Wikidata items for a term, and type-check them.

<!-- mcp-name: org.sciencelive4all/forrt-research-mcp -->
An MCP server for producing verifiable FORRT nanopublication chains — the tools a researcher needs while doing the work, not while looking for it. It serves all three shapes of study on the same rails: reproduction, replication, and research that starts from scratch.
It is the third of three servers that compose:
Built for the workflow in forrt-replication-template, but it needs nothing from that repo — any agent can call it.
Scope: reproduction, replication, and research from scratch
All three work here, and they use the same chain:
anchor → AIDA → Claim → Study → Outcome → CiTOStep 01 is one of three anchors, and they are not variants of one form. Which anchor fits is independent of whether the study is a reproduction, a replication or original research:
The three share no field ids whatsoever, so call templatefields on the anchor you are actually using rather than assuming they match. The picoquestion_type vocabulary is named for PICO deliberately: a PCC question has no type to look up.
verifyquote applies to the Quote anchor only — and that is the one anchor with a dedicated tool, because a quotation is the one field whose correctness can be proved* rather than reviewed.
constellation and prior_work surface a question anchor with its framework, label, full question text and its framework's components — PICO's population / intervention / comparator / outcome, PCC's population / concept / context. Question nodes keep all of that in a question object and leave their top-level label empty, so anything reading them like a quote returns nothing. Tested against two real published question nanopubs.
For a study starting from scratch, the Claim is your own hypothesis, derived from your own question or from the work you are building on. The FORRT Claim template's source is optional, so it needs no external paper — and the Claim-before-Study order then reads as pre-registration, not as a mismatch. verifychain takes a mode (auto / replication / reproduction / newresearch) that changes only what is required: from-scratch research has no existing work to cite, so no CiTO step and no cited DOI are expected.

- How do I install FORRT Research?
- It runs on your machine. Copy the Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code or Claude Desktop config from the install section.
- Does FORRT Research need an API key?
- Yes. The registry entry asks for
SCIENCELIVE_API_KEY. - Is FORRT Research maintained?
- The last commit was 10 days ago (2026-10-25). The latest release is v0.2.0.
- What can I use instead of FORRT Research?
- Servers from other publishers that do the same job: Tooluniverse MCP server.
- How does FORRT Research compare with other MCP servers?
- safety score 83/100 (higher than 65% of 48,255 servers); tools 15 (the typical server has 7); tools that change things 0% (typical: 0%. Fewer write tools means less an agent can break). Full comparison.
