What your AI can do with Tomesphere
Real prompts you can type the moment it's connected — no setup, no docs to read.
“Use “search_papers”: Search 8.5 million academic papers (arXiv + biomedical: PMC / bioRxiv / medRxiv, all disciplines) by topic, keyword, author, or linked entit.”
“Use “get_paper”: Fetch a paper's full metadata: title, authors, year, abstract, TLDR (LLM-generated), key findings, citation count, GitHub repos, HuggingFace.”
“Use “similar_papers”: Find papers semantically similar to a given paper using SPECTER2 embeddings (trained on scientific-citation triplets). Returns nearest neigh.”
“Use “citations”: Get papers that cite the given paper (who refers to this work). Use when the user asks 'who cites X', 'what's the impact', or wants follow-u.”
How secure is the Tomesphere MCP server?
Every server in the gate directory has to pass the same four checks before your AI can touch it. Here's how Tomesphere holds up.
Official endpoint
Operated by Tomesphere (tomesphere.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 Tomesphere adds or changes tools later, gate re-scans and alerts you — before your AI acts on the change.
Connected in three steps

The Tomesphere MCP server at a glance
https://mcp.tomesphere.com/api/mcpQuestions, answered
Is there an official Tomesphere MCP server?
Yes — Tomesphere operates its own remote MCP server at mcp.tomesphere.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 Tomesphere to Claude or ChatGPT?
Add gate's gateway URL to your AI client once, then pick Tomesphere in the directory. No account or sign-in is needed. From then on, Tomesphere's tools are available in every client you've connected to gate.
Do I need to host anything?
No. Tomesphere runs the server, and gate is fully managed. You just connect one URL — there's nothing to install, deploy, or maintain.
Is the Tomesphere 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.
Is it free?
Yes — you can get started with gate for free and connect Tomesphere in minutes. No credit card required.
