Lune

Set up in five minutes

The fastest path from "no account" to "my AI assistant just cited a paper for me."

1. Create your account

Go to luneresearch.com/signup and sign up with email, Google, GitHub, X, Slack, LinkedIn, or Notion. If you choose email, click the confirmation link we send you, then come back.

You're now on the Free plan: 10 requests a day, plus 300 welcome credits for the days you need more. No card needed, and the credits never expire.

2. Pick how you'll connect Lune

The dashboard's Install page walks you through each app. Choose the AI app you already use:

  • Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Codex, OpenCode, Antigravity (local agents). Most install with one command or one click, with your access key filled in. The optional command line app's lune install can also configure Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Codex, and OpenCode.
  • ChatGPT and Claude. Open Lune's plugin or connector listing from the Install page, add it, and sign in. Nothing to copy.
  • Grok and Grok Bot. Add Lune as a custom connector by its server URL, then sign in through your browser.
  • Perplexity, Manus, and Muse. These start with an access key, and the Install page shows where to paste it. Muse can switch to OAuth later.

Connect Lune to your AI app covers every option, including the server URL and OAuth details for any other app.

3. Try a question

Open a chat in your AI app and ask something only a research assistant could answer well. For example:

Find recent papers about cache-timing attacks on AES; cite the top three with links.

Behind the scenes, the agent searches Lune for relevant papers and brings their abstracts, metadata, and links into the answer. It can read the full text when it's available. Most tool calls count as one request; batch tools count one per item, and once the daily allowance is used up, requests draw on credits.
