Metadata availability varies by record. Atlas links to source locations; it does not host paper full text.

Connect where you work

One Atlas endpoint. Familiar client workflows.

Open an official guide for the client's current MCP behavior. Rivul's in-product guide provides the Atlas-specific steps.

These links document each client's MCP support. They do not imply a partnership, endorsement, or certification of every client-specific flow.

Two interfaces, one capability layer

Choose the interface that fits the work.

REST is for software. MCP is for AI clients. Both use the same validated search capability and return the same normalized scholarly metadata.

For applications and automations

Atlas REST API

Add scholarly discovery to a backend service without operating a search index or translating provider records yourself.

POST /api/atlas/v1/searchSearch scholarly metadata
GET /api/atlas/v1/usageRead API usage
GET /api/atlas/openapi.jsonOpenAPI 3.1 contract

Dedicated Atlas API key

For compatible AI clients

Atlas MCP server

Give an AI client a small, discoverable set of read-only Atlas tools instead of pasting search results into each conversation.

search_papersSearch scholarly works and return structured metadata.
usage_statusRead the current MCP-credit balance and plan period.

Browser sign-in or a dedicated MCP key

Metadata, not hosted full text. Atlas returns scholarly metadata and source locations. The original publication remains the authority for the paper and its findings.

Access and control

Connect securely in the way your client supports.

Personal clients can use browser authorization. Scripts and managed environments can use a dedicated, revocable service key.

Personal connection

Browser sign-in

Add the Atlas MCP URL. The client opens Rivul so you can sign in, choose a workspace, review access, and approve the connection.

  • No key to paste into the client
  • Workspace-scoped access
  • Visible and revocable in Atlas
Managed connection

API and MCP keys

Create a named key for an application, script, or managed environment. API and MCP keys are separate and cannot be used interchangeably.

  • Complete key shown once
  • Separate usage boundaries
  • Immediate revocation

Product direction

Start narrow. Expand from trusted primitives.

Atlas begins with read-only scholarly search. New capabilities join the API and MCP only after the shared implementation is stable and measurable.
