This is a full-stack academic research server that connects Claude to Scopus, OpenAlex, Semantic Scholar, and Unpaywall APIs for literature search and metadata retrieval. It exposes 23 tools covering paper discovery with Boolean queries, author disambiguation with H-index metrics, citation lineage tracking, and PDF extraction. The standout feature is multimodal content handling: it can render PDF pages as PNGs for vision analysis of charts and equations, extract layout-aware text with PyMuPDF, and fall back to Sci-Hub when papers are paywalled. It also includes book search through Google Books and Library Genesis with smart caching for full-text extraction. Reach for this when you need systematic literature reviews, need to analyze figures in papers, or want to map citation networks without leaving the conversation.
