What your AI can do with Research Intel
Real prompts you can type the moment it's connected — no setup, no docs to read.
“Use “new_funding”: THE GTM-trigger tool. Return the newest NIH grants and newly-registered clinical trials in a territory — the highest-intent buying signal in.”
“Use “whats_changed_since”: Return grants/trials that are NEW or MODIFIED since a cursor token (cursor = your bookmark / CRM-sync point). Pass the cursor from a prior c.”
“Use “delta_digest”: New grants + new trials in a filter over the last N days (the weekly-digest payload). Best for BD teams.”
“Use “entity_watch”: Recent funding/trial events for one institution, PI, sponsor, or topic. Use to enrich an account or check a competitor.”
How secure is the Research Intel MCP server?
Every server in the gate directory has to pass the same four checks before your AI can touch it. Here's how Research Intel holds up.
Official endpoint
Operated by Research Intel (dropwatchhq.com) at its documented MCP endpoint — not a third-party mirror or community re-host.
No sign-in needed
This server only exposes public data — no account and no credentials are involved when you connect.
Scanned before it goes live
gate checks every tool for prompt injection, hidden instructions, data-exfiltration hints, and over-broad permissions before the server is available through your gateway.
Watched for drift
If Research Intel adds or changes tools later, gate re-scans and alerts you — before your AI acts on the change.
Connected in three steps

https://research.dropwatchhq.com/mcpQuestions, answered
Is there an official Research Intel MCP server?
Yes — Research Intel operates its own remote MCP server at research.dropwatchhq.com. gate connects you to that official endpoint and adds security scanning, per-tool access rules, and an activity log on top.
How do I connect Research Intel to Claude or ChatGPT?

Do I need to host anything?
No. Research Intel runs the server, and gate is fully managed. You just connect one URL — there's nothing to install, deploy, or maintain.
Is the Research Intel MCP server safe to connect?
It's the vendor's official endpoint, and gate scans its tools for prompt injection and hidden instructions before it goes live, re-checks it whenever it changes, and lets you allow, block, or require approval for every single tool.
