Best for
  • Math-paper readers who need a strict separation between evidence and guesses
  • Researchers who want an AI agent to help map theorems and dependencies inside a local workspace
  • People who want reading artifacts as Markdown they can keep in Git or notes
  • Users who want to review external references before importing them
  • Hevy PRO users who want AI assistants to directly access their workout data
  • People who prefer using MCP clients like Claude, Cursor, Codex for fitness tracking
  • Anyone needing summaries and insights from their training data
  • Scenarios needing clean, structured web context fed to an AI assistant
  • Users already on the Firecrawl platform who want to call its scraping capability directly via MCP
Not for
  • People expecting the tool to prove or verify mathematical correctness
  • Anyone wanting automatic infinite crawling of the citation chain (A cites B, B cites C)
  • Users needing semantic theorem matching or equivalence judgments for similarly worded results
  • Users with scanned or OCR-heavy PDFs where extraction may be sparse
  • Users who expect a full TeX engine for complex projects
  • Users without a Hevy PRO subscription (API key required)
  • Users who want to use the server without an API key
  • Those needing delete workflows (Hevy API does not expose delete endpoints)
  • Simple static-page scraping where you don't want to depend on a third-party API and incur call costs
  • Sites that explicitly disallow automated access (robots.txt)
Required permissions
  • Read and write SQLite workspace files at user-chosen local paths
  • Read user-supplied local LaTeX projects and local PDF files
  • Download e-prints from arXiv's fixed e-print endpoint
  • Query public metadata services (Crossref, OpenAlex, arXiv) when the user runs a reference search
  • Write generated Markdown reports and manifest files into a user-specified artifact directory
  • Requires HEVY_API_KEY environment variable for Hevy API authentication
  • Can create, update, and replace workouts, routines, folders, templates, and body measurements via tools
  • Read operations can fetch workouts, routines, folders, templates, history, and user info
  • Requires a Firecrawl API key to call; cost and quota are governed by the Firecrawl account
  • firecrawl_agent/firecrawl_interact perform automated browser interaction, which may trigger login or form-submission flows on the target site
Risks and side effects
  • The workspace stores text, source spans, and proof evidence extracted from papers, so committing databases or private manuscripts can leak content
  • The Scholarly Reference Resolver only searches public metadata and stops with explicit boundaries for ambiguous, old, paywalled, or metadata-only literature, requiring manual sourcing
  • An empty dependency result only means no resolvable theorem-label references were found under the current rule; it is not evidence that the theorem has no mathematical dependencies
  • Scanned PDFs may yield sparse text and missing evidence
  • The parser is not a full TeX engine, so complex projects may need an explicit main_file
  • API key can be misused if leaked; do not expose in URLs, logs, or screenshots
  • Create operations may produce duplicates on retry; update operations replace existing records
  • The server sends data to the Hevy API and may send telemetry to external services unless disabled
  • Bulk crawl/map tools can generate significant request volume against a target site — respect the site's rate limits and terms of service
  • firecrawl_agent's interactive action chain is longer — define task boundaries clearly before running it to avoid accidentally triggering actions on a sensitive site
