Academic MCP for Antigravity

Step 1

Open the MCP configuration

In the Antigravity IDE, open the “…” menu at the top of the agent panel, choose MCP Servers, then Manage MCP Servers and View raw config. This opens mcp_config.json. You can also open the file directly at ~/.gemini/config/mcp_config.json.

Step 2

Add the server entry

Add this to the file and save. The field must be named serverUrl; Antigravity does not accept url or httpUrl for remote servers. If the file already lists other servers, add only the scholarmuse entry under mcpServers.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "scholarmuse": {
      "serverUrl": "https://scholarmuse.ai/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Step 3

Click Authenticate

Open Settings, go to the Customizations tab and click Authenticate next to scholarmuse under Installed MCP Servers. Antigravity registers itself with the server automatically, so there is nothing else to fill in.

Step 4

Approve in your browser

A scholarmuse.ai window opens. Sign in, approve access and choose which discipline packs Antigravity may use. If the page then shows an authorization code, copy it into the Antigravity settings panel and click Submit. There is no API key to create or paste.

Step 5

Check that it works

Ask an agent to list the ScholarMuse capabilities. By default Antigravity asks for your approval before it runs an MCP tool you have not configured.
