Agentic Research Engine MCP
An open-source, local-first research agent that verifies its own answers using a pipeline of classification, planning, search, retrieval, synthesis, and verification. It supports multiple interfaces including an MCP server for integration with Claude Desktop, Cursor, and Continue, allowing agents to perform deep research with citations while keeping data private.
