I'm an LLM noob, but how feasible it is to make a research agent that can not only download articles, but read and reference them in it's process?


It's doable, as you'll also find MCP servers for reading files [1].

Claude Desktop also has a built-in file reader [2], so you can ask it to read the file and process the content (e.g., generate a summary or even a meta-summary [3]).

Firecrawl -> Rag -> mcp is the general path
