research-foundry

research-foundry provides Cookiecutter templates for the repositories that support a research project: its code, workspace, paper, and any application it grows into. The templates share a common base and are kept current with cruft.

Install and create a project

Run a template directly with uvx:

uvx research-foundry new <template>

Or install the command with pip:

pip install research-foundry
research-foundry new <template>

Use research-foundry templates to list templates and research-foundry questions <template> to inspect a template's answers.

Model Context Protocol server

Run research-foundry mcp to start the Model Context Protocol (MCP) server over standard input and output. It can list templates, describe questions, plan a project without persistent output, and create or update a project only after explicit confirmation.
