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.
