A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that enables searching and retrieving academic paper information from multiple sources.
The server provides LLMs with:
- Real-time academic paper search functionality
- Access to paper metadata and abstracts
- Ability to retrieve full-text content when available
- Structured data responses following the MCP specification
While primarily designed for integration with Anthropic's Claude Desktop client, the MCP specification allows for potential compatibility with other AI models and clients that support tool/function calling capabilities (e.g. OpenAI's API).
Note: This software is under active development. Features and functionality are subject to change.
