How to create Research Paper Summary using MCP

Distill academic or technical papers into actionable insights. This guide creates the Research Paper Summary prompt from Arthur's template catalog, sets up a blank MCP server, and links the prompt so any connected AI client can use it.

Steps

  1. Go to Prompt Templates and search for Research Paper Summary.

    Open the Prompt Templates catalog

    Search the catalog for the Research Paper Summary template

  2. Click Use template on the Research Paper Summary card and review the prefilled name, description, and content preview.

    Open the Research Paper Summary template with its prefilled name and content preview

    Create the Research Paper Summary prompt in the shared library

  3. Click Create prompt — the prompt is added to your shared library.

    Start creating the MCP server that will expose the prompt

  4. Go to New server, choose Blank / Static as the source, and click Next.

    Choose the Blank / Static source — no external connection is needed for a prompt-only server

    Advance to the server details step

    Name the server after the prompt it will expose

    Create the blank MCP server

    Open the server's Prompts tab

  5. Name the server (for example, Research Paper Summary Server) and click Create server.

    Open the prompt-library picker

  6. On the server's Prompts tab, click Add prompt, search for Research Paper Summary, and click Add.

    Search the library for the Research Paper Summary prompt

    Link the Research Paper Summary prompt to the server

    Close the picker and show the linked prompt on the Prompts tab

  7. Open the server's Connect section and click Share the MCP swagger documentation — Arthur generates the public documentation link and QR code for this server.

    Open the server's Connect section, where the MCP endpoint and its documentation live

    Open the MCP swagger documentation share panel

    Show the generated swagger documentation link and QR code for this server

Confirm it worked

The Research Paper Summary prompt appears on the server's Prompts tab, and the Connect section offers the server's MCP swagger documentation — a shareable page with setup instructions for any AI client. A connected client can now fetch the prompt through this server.

Good to know

  • Summarizes research papers with methodology, findings, practical implications, and limitations.
  • Arguments detected from the template: {{paper}} — callers fill these in when invoking the prompt.
  • Editing the prompt in the shared library updates it on every server where it's linked.
