Overview

Description from the maker (original English)

AI-reviewed research journal: submit, revise and track papers; cite and report published work.

PopNx MCP’s three pillars

These three are never merged into one score: opinions, measurements and popularity are different things.

What you can do with it

We have not written a plain-language summary for this one yet. Below are the facts we read from the registry.

  • Connection: Runs in the cloud
  • Transport: Streamable HTTP
  • Category: Search & AI memory
  • You need to fill in: Authorization

Install

Pick the AI app you use, then copy the settings.

Before you install

Values marked secret are keys to your account. Never share them or paste them into a chat.

You need

Which app do you use?

Pick your app above. We remember it, so next time the button says “Install in …”.

This address needs a key in a request header, which the add-connector menu cannot set. Use Claude Code, Cursor or VS Code instead.

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add --transport http publish https://publish.fun/api/mcp --header 'Authorization: Bearer {api_key}'

Fill in the empty values before running it.

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "publish": {
      "url": "https://publish.fun/api/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer {api_key}"
      }
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

Open in VS Code

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .vscode/mcp.json in your project

{
  "servers": {
    "publish": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://publish.fun/api/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer {api_key}"
      }
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

This address needs a key in a request header, which the add-connector menu cannot set. Use Claude Code, Cursor or VS Code instead.

What it can do

Tool names and descriptions exactly as the server reported them on Nov 6, 2026. The maker wrote them, not us; we show them as plain text.

  • get_submission_guidelines

    Get the requirements and JSON schema for submitting a paper to Publish.fun, how to obtain an API key, and what the account's ORCID iD gates (publication of an accepted paper, not submission). With Authorization: Bearer on the request it also returns the account's current submissi

  • validate_submission

    Dry-run a submission: the same checks submit_paper makes (fields, lengths, co-author consent, figure references) plus warnings for common mistakes, without creating anything or using a submission slot. Works without a key; with Authorization: Bearer it also reports the account's

  • submit_paper

    Submit a research paper for AI review. Requires Authorization: Bearer on the request. No ORCID iD is needed to submit; an accepted paper is published once the account has linked one (the result's identity field says whether it has).

  • get_paper_status

    Get the review status of a paper you submitted (decisions with their editorial_notes, reviews, current round, and versions: each round's manuscript with the title, abstract and keywords in force for it), plus your account's submission_allowance and a progress block: the step runn

  • submit_revision

    Submit a revised manuscript for a paper whose status is revision_requested — address the decision's summary_to_authors and key_concerns from get_paper_status, concern by concern in response_letter (see its description). The paper re-enters review as the next round: after a major-

  • submit_correction

    Propose a corrected version of a PUBLISHED paper you authored: the full corrected body, a summary of what changed (published as the correction notice) and the scope — "editorial_notes" when the change addresses the editorial notes published with the paper, "minor_error" when it f

  • upload_image

    Upload a figure image (PNG, JPEG, GIF or WebP) for a manuscript and get a permanent public URL to reference as ![caption](url) in submit_paper / submit_revision content. An uploaded image is public as soon as it is uploaded: anyone with the link can open it, before any review and

  • cite_paper

    Get a citation for a published paper (no auth). Returns BibTeX/RIS/CSL/text, with the paper's Crossref DOI once it is registered. A retracted or withdrawn paper is cited as such: each format's title starts "Retracted: " or "Withdrawn: " and its note names the notice's DOI once re

  • report_paper

    Report a problem with a PUBLISHED paper (anyone's): an error, a research-integrity concern, a problem with its published review, or a legal matter. Any signed-in account may report a problem with a published paper: an error, a research-integrity concern, a problem with the publis

  • get_report_status

    Get the status of a report you filed: its one-line reason if it was refused or dismissed, and, once its case is public (closed, or a retraction recommended), the outcome, the verdicts on your own claims and the public record's link; until then the case reads only "in_progress". A

  • list_paper_reports

    Get a published paper's public record of reports: each case the journal decided (with its outcome, the upheld claims, the votes and the evidence), the number of other reports assessed with no action, and how to report a problem (the body, the categories this paper accepts, the li

  • get_case

    Get a report case on a paper you submitted, or one your report joined. As the paper's submitting account you get the finding you may answer: the claims the assessing models upheld (restated neutrally) with the verified evidence, each model's verdict, the proposed notice and corre

  • respond_to_case

    Answer a report case on a paper you submitted (the paper's submitting account only): agree with the provisional finding, disagree with a response, accept a proposed correction, ask once for more time, or publish the full record of a case that ended with no action. Call get_case f

Common questions

Is Publish.fun safe?

It passed 2 of 3 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

You need to fill in: Authorization

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs in the maker’s cloud. Connect over the internet with nothing to install, but what you send passes through the maker’s servers.

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (1.2.0) reached the registry 2 days ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. It connects by URL, so apps that accept remote MCP servers work too, such as ChatGPT in developer mode.

What can I use instead?

In the same category: Context7, Codebase Memory, Exa
