Scholar Sidekick Mcp

Wraps the Scholar Sidekick API to resolve DOIs, PMIDs, PMCIDs, ISBNs, arXiv IDs, ISSNs, NASA ADS bibcodes, and WHO IRIS URLs into structured metadata. You get seven tools: resolve identifiers to CSL JSON, format citations in 10,000+ styles (Vancouver, APA, IEEE, or any CSL style ID), export to BibTeX/RIS/EndNote, check retraction status via Crossref and Retraction Watch, check open access availability through Unpaywall, and verify citations against their actual records to catch AI fabrications (real DOI with invented title). All tools accept batch input as comma or newline-separated lists. Requires a RapidAPI key. Useful when you need programmatic citation workflows, integrity checks, or OA link resolution without hitting individual APIs yourself.
