### Description (declared)

# bib-enrich-mcp

[![PyPI version](https://badge.fury.io/py/bib-enrich-mcp.svg)](https://badge.fury.io/py/bib-enrich-mcp)

Writing a paper and your `.bib` file is a mess? This tool lets AI automatically complete your citations — fill in missing metadata, find publication venues, add DOIs, and even discover if a preprint has been formally published.

## Features

- **Automatic metadata scraping** from multiple sources:
  - arXiv API
  - DBLP API
  - CrossRef API
- **BibTeX parsing and writing** with full field support
- **Batch processing** of entire .bib files
- **MCP integration** for use with AI assistants

## Installation

```bash
# Or install with uv (Recommended)
uv tool install bib-enrich-mcp

# Install from PyPI
pip install bib-enrich-mcp

# Or clone and install locally
git clone https://github.com/haoxiangsnr/bib-enrich-mcp.git
cd bib-enrich-mcp
uv sync
```

## Quick Start

### Step 1: Configure MCP Client

Add the server to your MCP client (e.g., Cherry Studio, Claude Desktop, Cursor):

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "bib-enrich": {
      "command": "bib-enrich-mcp"
    }
  }
}
```

### Step 2: Enable the MCP Server

In your MCP client, enable the `bib-enrich` server. Look for a tools icon (usually a wrench) in the chat interface.

### Step 3: Start Using

Now you can ask the AI to help with your bibliography. Example prompts:

```
Help me find the complete citation for: Attention Is All You Need
```

```
Enrich this BibTeX entry with arXiv ID 2401.12345
```

```
Process my references.bib file and fill in missing metadata
```

The AI will automatically call the appropriate tools to fetch metadata from arXiv, DBLP, and CrossRef.

## Usage

### As an MCP Server

Add to your MCP client configuration:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "bib-enrich": {
      "command": "bib-enrich-mcp"
    }
  }
}
```

### Running the Server

```bash
bib-enrich-mcp
```
