About scopus-mcp
qwe4559999/scopus-mcp
A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for Elsevier Scopus. Allows AI assistants like Claude to search academic papers, retrieve abstracts, and analyze author profiles directly.
Implements three core tools for programmatic Scopus access: `search_scopus` with Scopus query syntax support, `get_abstract_details` for document metadata retrieval, and `get_author_profile` for researcher information. Built as an MCP server using stdio transport with environment variable-based API key configuration, enabling seamless integration with Claude Desktop, Cursor, and Trae via simple JSON configuration. Requires Elsevier institutional API credentials and the `uv` Python package manager for zero-setup deployment across platforms.
About academic-search-mcp-server
afrise/academic-search-mcp-server
Academic Paper Search MCP Server for Claude Desktop integration. Allows Claude to access data from Semantic Scholar and Crossref.
Implements three distinct search tools—general paper search, detailed metadata retrieval by DOI/identifier, and topic-based filtering with date ranges—all returning structured metadata including abstracts, TL;DR summaries, and open-access status. Built on Python's FastMCP framework with httpx for API calls, it aggregates data from Semantic Scholar and Crossref endpoints into standardized MCP tool responses. Designed for Claude Desktop via configuration file setup, though the MCP specification enables compatibility with other AI clients supporting tool-calling interfaces.
