Mcp Scholarly

Wraps arXiv's academic paper search API into a single MCP tool that lets Claude search for scholarly articles by keyword. You get direct access to research papers without leaving your conversation, making it straightforward to pull citations, verify claims, or explore academic literature on any topic. Currently focused on arXiv but the maintainer plans to add more academic databases. The search-arxiv tool takes a keyword string and returns relevant papers with metadata. Useful when you need to quickly reference academic sources or want Claude to ground its responses in published research.
