Questions

What is the Deep Research Assistant MCP server?

The Deep Research Assistant is meticulously crafted on Mastra's modular, scalable architecture, designed for intelligent orchestration and seamless human-AI interaction. It's built to tackle complex research challenges autonomously.

What tools does Deep Research Assistant expose?

4 in total: 2 read-only, 2 that write, and 0 that can delete or overwrite. Every one is listed on this page with its risk.

Is Deep Research Assistant safe to connect to an agent?

The audit found nothing in the source that contradicts what it says it does, and graded it B (89/100). Grade A is held back for packages that have also passed a sandboxed behavioural run, which is why a clean server reads B.

What credentials does Deep Research Assistant need?

It reads DATABASE_AUTH_TOKEN, EXA_API_KEY, GITHUB_API_KEY, GOOGLE_GENERATIVE_AI_API_KEY, LANGFUSE_PUBLIC_KEY, LANGFUSE_SECRET_KEY, OPENROUTER_API_KEY and VECTOR_DATABASE_AUTH_TOKEN from the environment. Give it a token scoped to the least it needs — an agent that can be talked into calling a tool can be talked into calling it with your credentials.

How current is this page?

The grade is for one exact copy of the source (f16d24648c47), read on 2026-10-08. The repository is watched and re-audited when it changes.
