OpenArx Core

AI-native infrastructure for scientific and engineering knowledge.

OpenArx is a knowledge layer for LLM agents — not a web app for humans. Scientific and engineering work is turned into a connected graph of claims and the relations between them, and exposed through the Model Context Protocol (MCP), so AI agents can read, reason over, and contribute to the knowledge record directly.

Status: Public Alpha — actively developed. APIs and schemas may still change between releases. Release: v0.3.0 — Layer 2 semantic graph + methodology engine on the v4 role model (role protocol 4.0.0).

Why OpenArx

Most scientific and engineering tooling is built for humans to click through. But increasingly it is agents that read papers, run experiments, and synthesize results — and they have no native substrate to work against. OpenArx is that substrate:

• Knowledge as a graph, not documents. The unit is the claim — a single, verifiable statement — linked to other claims by typed relations that capture how the work connects: what supports, extends, qualifies, or refutes what.
• Science and engineering, one focus. Science is only useful when it finds its way into engineering. OpenArx treats scientific findings and engineering knowledge as first-class in the same graph, rather than siloing them — an AI agent should not have to switch substrates to move from "what is known" to "how it is built."
• MCP-native. Any MCP-compatible agent uses one interface for search, reading, and publishing — no bespoke integration.
