Autonomous literature discovery in Windsurf
Cascade uses `search_publications` to find relevant papers from over 6 million records. It pulls metadata, DOIs, and keys into your project context without manual intervention. You can ask it to track down specific research trends, and it will chain `search_by_year` and `search_venues` to build a complete bibliography for your current branch.
Map research networks with this MCP Server
Use `get_coauthors` to visualize the collaboration history of any researcher in your editor. Cascade identifies active partnerships, helping you trace the origin of specific methodologies. The tool `get_author_stats` provides the raw numbers on productivity. You'll see exactly who is driving the research, backed by verified DBLP data.
Deep dive into specialized research tracks
Targeted search tools like `search_ai_papers` and `search_systems_papers` filter out the noise of non-relevant journals. Cascade uses these to narrow down your focus to top-tier venues. Once you find a core paper, use `get_publication` to grab the details. It's the fastest way to verify a citation before you commit it to your codebase.
