Installable MCP server for the Retrieval API: academic-paper search + journal memory + ACE playbook + semantic code search
retrieval-mcp is an MCP server distributed on pypi, tracked here since September 2026. It has shipped 56 releases (currently 0.4.11) and exposes 33 tools. Tools include ace_context_aware, ace_enhance_prompt, ace_playbook, ace_smart_generate, ace_smart_reflect, add_public_code_source, and 27 more. Its composite risk grade is B — an inferred review prompt computed from observed signals, not a verdict.
Reading the source raised 2 review prompts — exfiltration combo and toxic flow (lethal trifecta) — each a pattern worth a human look rather than a finding of fault.
