What it does
Knowra is an MCP server, a connector that lets an AI assistant use it as a tool. It is hosted: an assistant connects to it over the internet, nothing to install.
No capability identified yet from its description.
Facts come from the Official MCP Registry, as declared by the publisher. Capabilities are matched automatically (low confidence). None of this is a test of the tool.

3 tools offered to AI assistants
search_papers· Discover indexed arXiv papers using titles, authors and abstracts to assess relevance. Prefer an English research topic or question, preserving important entities and phrases. For broad questions, consider distinct research dimensions and qget_scout· Read a structured paper-based analysis of key signals, methodology, evidence, experimental conditions and verification points, with author-stated limitations where available. Use it when these details help assess a candidate, compare findinget_usage· Check Scout quota, usage, remaining allowance and reset time, along with plan and entitlement details. Entitlement expiry and quota reset time describe different events.
What "online" means: the server answered an MCP connection at the time of the check. It is not a guarantee of security, quality or continuous uptime. How we test: we open an MCP session and ask for the tool list, as an AI assistant would. We never run a tool and never send a key. Checked every few days. Method
Is this your server? Monitoring Pro: a check every 30 minutes and an email within the hour when it stops answering. Launch offer: $39.99 once, for life.
