AIRAS MCP Server

AIRAS is open-source software for automated research. It gives a coding agent (Claude Code, Cursor, or any MCP client) everything it needs to take a research topic through literature survey, hypothesis, experiments, and a finished paper, and it makes the paper's claims verifiable: the paper is preregistered in git before any experiment runs, every reported number is realized from run outputs, and CI re-checks all of…

People who work with ai research and want it reachable from Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in Python.

01 · Install AIRAS

Claude Code

claude mcp add airas-org-airas -- uvx airas

Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "airas-org-airas": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "airas"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Same JSON for Cursor. For VS Code, rename the top-level key from `mcpServers` to `servers`.

Using another client? Same JSON, different key

Security posture

What to check before giving this server access to your agent - from the registry, GitHub, and our own probes. We don't score safety; we show what's verifiable.

runs as local process (stdio) - runs on your machine with your user's permissions

license MIT - declared in the repository

pypi package airas - check the name against the project README before installing (PyPI has no namespace ownership)

registry namespace io.github.airas-org is GitHub-verified and matches the repo owner
