AIRAS MCP Server

AIRAS is an open-source software for automated research, being developed to support the entire research workflow. It aims to integrate all of the necessary functions for automating research - from literature search and method generation to experimentation and paper writing - and is designed with the aim of enabling as many individuals and organizations as possible to contribute to open innovation in research automation.

People connecting automation tools to 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`.
