Idea Network
Let agents see how research connects.
Idea Network is a data service for research agents. It connects papers, authors, concepts and citations, letting an agent trace a direction to prior work, methods and source evidence. Built initially for Research Claw, it now serves other agents through MCP.
WORKFLOW
How the work progresses
- 01
Find the starting point
Start from a paper, author or concept and define the question and scope.
- 02
Follow the relationships
Trace prior studies, subsequent work and branching approaches to place findings in context.
- 03
Return to the evidence
Compare experimental conditions, methods and evidence across approaches while retaining sources.
IN PRACTICE
Knowing the method still calls for checking the sources
Results from cell and animal models cannot simply be compared as equivalent. Models perform analysis; the data service supplies prior work, experimental conditions and follow-up evidence. Structured, on-demand queries reduce repeated page and PDF handling. A missing result must be interpreted against coverage, rather than as proof that no evidence exists.

FAQ
Questions you may have
How is it different from Idea Interflowing?
Idea Network supplies research data for agents. Idea Interflowing uses it for research-gap discovery, frontier exploration and journal-review simulation. One provides sources; the other supports a researcher’s workflow.
Is it only for Research Claw?
Other MCP-compatible agents can connect. Task requirements, integration and data scope are agreed during onboarding.
Does it provide every paper in full text?
Coverage and source-text access depend on sources, permissions and integration scope. Queries and evidence are provided against available data, without a claim of universal full-text coverage.
