General research
Scientific figure maker
Describe a mechanism, workflow or study design. Your agent gets a publication-ready figure — labelled, on a clean background, ready for a paper or poster.

Once connected, say this to your agent
Make a graphical abstract for my paper: TGF-β drives fibroblast activation, which stiffens the matrix and recruits macrophages. Clean white background, Nature style.

Example
YOU SAY TO YOUR AGENT
Draw a mechanism figure: TGF-β activates fibroblasts, which stiffen the matrix and recruit macrophages. Nature style.
On the right: the call your agent makes and the shape of the reply. No figure was generated for this example; the values in angle brackets are placeholders.
create_figure({
"description": "TGF-β activates fibroblasts. Activated fibroblasts stiffen the extracellular matrix and recruit macrophages.",
"kind": "mechanism",
"style": "nature",
"aspect_ratio": "4:3"
})
{
"summary": "Figure ready: <image URL>. To change it, call edit_figure with figure_id \"<figure id>\".",
"extra": {
"figure_id": "<figure id>",
"status": "done",
"image_url": "<image URL>",
"credits_used": 20
},
"files": [
{
"name": "figure-<id>.jpg",
"url": "<image URL>",
"mimeType": "image/jpeg"
}
]
}What you get
- A finished figure your agent can drop into a paper or slide
- Consistent style across a whole figure set
- Edits in plain words: “make the arrows thicker”
Good fit
- Mechanisms, pathways and signalling diagrams
- Study design, workflow and methods schematics
- Graphical abstracts and conference posters
Not for
- Plots from your data — your agent can code those
- Exact reproductions of copyrighted figures
- Microscopy or patient images

Frequently asked questions
Your agent calls create_figure, edit_figure, get_figure over MCP with a description of the figure. ScholarMuse generates the image and returns a link to it. Figures usually take one to three minutes.
No. It costs 20 credits per figure, charged only when the call succeeds. A new account gets 50 credits once, valid for 30 days.
Claude, ChatGPT, Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI and any other client that supports MCP.
Yes. The same tools (create_figure, edit_figure, get_figure) are available over the REST API.
