Hal Fr

Connects to HAL, France's national open access repository for research publications. You get four tools: Solr-style search across the archive, single document retrieval by HAL ID, author lookup via free-text query, and research structure lookups for labs and departments. Useful when you need to pull French academic papers, trace authorship, or map institutional affiliations in European research. Runs over streamable HTTP through the Pipeworx gateway, which also offers an ask_pipeworx natural language wrapper if you'd rather skip manual tool calls. Part of a larger gateway that connects to 673+ data sources, so you can add just HAL or get the full suite.
