Server details

Identifier: space.bytetrail/bytetrail
Transport: Streamable HTTP
Runtime: Web executable
Trust: Verified
Published: Nov 5, 2026

Security note

MCP servers receive tool arguments from a conversation and may perform external actions. Review what a server can do before you enable it, and give it only the access it needs.

The registry verified that this server's namespace belongs to bytetrail.space, which also runs its endpoint. That identifies the publisher; it does not make the server's tools safe.

SourceWeft's checks cover whether the listing is complete and the endpoint answered; they do not review the server's code or what its tools do.

Overview

AI-generated overview

ByteTrail is a free, read-only remote MCP server that gives an assistant daily-updated AI papers, AI news, dev-tool adoption data and startup funding rounds.

What you can do: Search arXiv papers by title and abstract, and find companies, tools and repos by name
List and read AI papers: newest or relevance-ranked, with abstracts, authors, fields, code/model presence and links
Read the latest AI news headlines and excerpts from labs, universities, news sites, engineering blogs and newsletters
See what is trending in AI by kind, and browse AI developer tools with downloads, stars and growth
Look up funding rounds of AI and developer-tool startups, and get a company profile with rounds, founders and GitHub/Hugging Face presence
When to use it: Useful when you want an assistant to keep up with AI research, industry news, open-source tool adoption or startup funding without wiring up several sources yourself. Good for quick briefings, paper lookups and market or tool comparisons.
Requirements: A remote streamable HTTP endpoint; no API key, environment variables or headers are declared. Network access to the ByteTrail service is needed.

Before you install

All tools are described as read-only and free. Funding data may come from third-party sources such as Recent Funding and some rounds carry flags indicating they need verification, so treat figures as leads to check against the original source.

Installation

In SourceWeft

Open ByteTrail in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Web executable via Streamable HTTP. Remote servers run from the web runtime once configured in a workspace.

Use with an agent

Paste this prompt into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or another agent — or into SourceWeft chat. The agent reads this server's install guide, shows you its publisher, endpoint and sign-in, and adds it to your client once you agree. Keys never go into a command.

Read https://sourceweft.com/mcp/space.bytetrail%2Fbytetrail/install.md and connect the MCP server it describes to my client. Before changing any config, show me its publisher, endpoint and sign-in method and wait for my OK. Never put an API key in a command or in a file I would commit; ask me where it should come from.

Read the install guide the agent follows
