This server connects Claude to Semantic Scholar's academic graph, giving you programmatic access to research papers, citations, authors, and publication data. The source doesn't list specific tools, but it's part of the Pipeworx gateway ecosystem which wraps 867+ data sources behind a streamable HTTP transport. You can either call tools directly or use the ask_pipeworx interface to query in plain English and let the gateway route to the right endpoint. Reach for this when you need to search academic literature, trace citation networks, or pull metadata about papers and researchers without leaving your AI workflow.
Semantic Scholar Academic Graph MCP.
Part of Pipeworx — an MCP gateway connecting AI agents to 867+ live data sources.
| Tool | Description |
|---|
Add to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):
{
"mcpServers": {
"semanticscholar": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/semanticscholar/mcp"
}
}
}
Or connect to the full Pipeworx gateway for access to all 867+ data sources:
{
"mcpServers": {
"pipeworx": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/mcp"
}
}
}
Instead of calling tools directly, you can ask questions in plain English:
ask_pipeworx({ question: "your question about Semanticscholar data" })
The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.
