This server provides real-time academic paper search functionality, allowing LLMs to access paper metadata, abstracts, and full-text content when available. It exposes tools for searching papers, fetching detailed information, and searching by topic with optional date filters, all structured according to the MCP specification.

Designed primarily for integration with Anthropic's Claude Desktop client, this server is compatible with other AI models and clients that support tool/function calling capabilities. It utilizes APIs from Semantic Scholar and Crossref to deliver comprehensive academic paper data.

As an actively developed project, the server's features and functionality may evolve, ensuring that users have access to the latest capabilities in academic research retrieval.
