Usage
The MCP server includes a Deep Dive Guide resource that teaches the AI how to orchestrate tools for comprehensive research workflows. The AI will automatically read this when needed.
Ask your Cursor AI:
Find Solana projects working on gasless transactions
Has anyone built a privacy-preserving stablecoin wallet?
Search for research papers about prediction markets
What were the most popular problem domains in Breakout hackathon?
Compare tech stacks used by winners vs non-winners
For deep research, trigger the full workflow:
Vet this idea: [your startup idea]
Deep dive on DeFi lending in Solana
Should I build a privacy-preserving stablecoin wallet?
Validate this: cross-border payment system with stablecoins
The AI will automatically orchestrate multiple tools following the 8-step deep dive process.
