Search, profile, and analyze research papers through the Valency Bond MCP server.
Use when the user asks who a researcher should be talking to that they aren't already, wants to find new potential collaborators outside an existing network, asks 'who else is doing this work', 'who should X meet', 'who are the new faces in this field', or wants to expand a researcher's collaboration network beyond their current circle. Triggers on requests to find recent, relevant researchers who are NOT in an author's existing coauthor list.
Use when the user asks for an overview of a research field, wants to understand a domain's key players, or asks 'what's happening in X' or 'give me a landscape of X'. Triggers on requests for field summaries, top authors in an area, or subdomain breakdowns.
Use when the user asks about a researcher's collaborators, co-authors, research network, wants to map who works with whom, or wants to see how a researcher's focus has diverged from their collaborators. Triggers on questions like 'who does X collaborate with', 'show me X's network', 'find connections between researchers', or 'how has X's work drifted from their coauthors'.
Use when the user asks about a researcher's work, publications, research areas, collaborators, or academic profile. Triggers on questions like 'who is X', 'what does X work on', 'show me X's papers', or 'tell me about X' in a research context.
Use when the user asks what a researcher should be reading, wants a curated bibliography for a researcher's interests, asks 'what should X read', 'find me adjacent work to X's research', or wants to know what literature surrounds an author's body of work. Triggers on reading-list, bibliography, or 'what should I read next' style requests anchored on a specific researcher.
Use when the user wants to find papers similar to a specific paper, asks 'what's related to this paper', 'find me more like this', or wants to explore the neighborhood around a known paper. Triggers on paper IDs, arXiv IDs, DOIs, or paper titles followed by a similarity request.
Use when the user asks how a research topic has changed over time, wants publication volume trends, asks 'is X growing', 'when did X take off', or wants to compare the trajectories of two fields. Triggers on trend, growth, or timeline questions about research areas.
