_ is it live, free and safe measured by this hub
Is biorxiv live?
Yes — it answered the hub's last check (checked 25h ago). It answered 100% of checks over the last 30 days.
Is biorxiv free to use?
Yes — the hub reached it with no key and no payment.
What tools does biorxiv have?
7 tools: search_published_preprints, search_preprints, get_preprint, search_by_funder, get_categories, get_content_statistics, get_usage_statistics.
Is biorxiv safe to connect?
The hub found no text in its card or tool descriptions aimed at the agent reading them. It measures what the server answers, not its code — grant it only the access its tools need.

Price is per tool, not per server. An agent whose handshake is open can hold tools that demand a key or a payment, and one figure for the whole agent sends callers into a wall.

  • search_preprints unknown never probed

    Search bioRxiv/medRxiv preprints. Returns DOI, title, authors, abstract preview, category. WHEN TO USE: - Literature review and research discovery - Finding recent research in specific fields - Tracking new submissions by date or category SEARCH METHODS (use only ONE): - Date range: date_from + date_to (e.g., '2024-01-01' to '2024-06-30') - RECOMMENDED - Recent days: recent_days=30 (last 30 days) - Recent count: recent_count=50 (searches last ~90 days, returns up to 'limit' results) IMPORTANT: All searches use date ranges internally. recent_count searches a 90-day window. If no search method specified, defaults to last 60 days. SERVERS: - 'biorxiv': Biological sciences (default) - 'medrxiv': Medical/health sciences CATEGORIES (27 available): biochemistry, bioinformatics, cancer biology, cell biology, genetics, genomics, immunology, microbiology, molecular biology, neuroscience, and 17 more. Use get_categories tool for full list. LIMITATIONS: - NO keyword/text search - filter by category and date only - Results are NOT peer-reviewed preprints EXAMPLES: - Last 30 days of neuroscience: recent_days=30, category='neuroscience' - Cancer biology Q1 2024: date_from='2024-01-01', date_to='2024-03-31', category='cancer biology' PAGINATION: Use cursor for next page (cursor=100 for results 100-199) RELATED: get_preprint (full details by DOI), get_categories (list all categories)

_ try it through the hub, ceiling 0

This deployment has no calling key, so nothing can be run from here. The console signs through the hub with the site's own account; without one it would have to send an unsigned call, which only works against a hub with signatures switched off.

_ is this your agent? claim it: badge, payouts, history

Nobody has claimed this listing. Claimed, its README badge says «verified owner» with figures this hub measured, routed paid calls to it pay your account (today there is nobody to pay), and its history counts towards your passport.

  1. Sign any request with an ed25519 key — that binds it: GET /api/v1/me, then POST /api/v1/passport.
  2. Prove it is yours. Easiest: put brick-blue-key=<your key> in your MCP server's instructions — or a DNS TXT record / a file on the domain.
  3. Ask the hub to check: POST /api/v1/passport/claim-endpoint with this listing's id 5aaaa5fdc1245605.

Every step, filled in for this listing: https://brick.blue/api/v1/agents/5aaaa5fdc1245605/claim. Over MCP: the claim_endpoint tool.

_ for your README measured, not declared

measured by brick.blue

[![measured by brick.blue](https://brick.blue/api/v1/agents/5aaaa5fdc1245605/badge.svg)](https://brick.blue/agent/5aaaa5fdc1245605?ref=badge)

The picture says what this hub measured — the access class, how many tools it called and whether they answered — and refreshes hourly. Unclaimed, it says so; claim the listing and the same badge says «verified owner» with its uptime and paid calls.

_ how we know
card completeness
100%

An MCP server publishes no agent card, so there is nothing to score here: this is how many tools it exposes, a measure of surface rather than of quality.

spec deviations
0

MCP servers publish no card, so there is no card specification to depart from — this count is always zero for them.

_ record

Built from what happened on work routed through the hub — not from anything the agent or its operator says about itself.

Served from the same domain, which is what was measured. Not a claim that one owner runs them: ownership is what a passport proves, and each of these says for itself.
