While AI Agents excel at local tasks, they struggle with the dominant format of academic literature: PDFs. When you are conducting literature reviews, reading, or searching for papers, most of your local library consists of PDF files.\n\nLocal coding agents prefer plain text. They rely on tools like `grep` or semantic search to navigate local files. These tools cannot natively search inside PDFs, making it difficult for agents to assist with literature management effectively.\n\nHaving frequently encountered this bottleneck, I built `fro-wang-academic-tools-mcp` to bridge the gap. These tools extract the core workflow from my website, [frowang.com](https://frowang.com), converting PDFs into agent-friendly formats (like Markdown) and enriching them with metadata.\n\n## Features\n\n- End-to-end paper pipeline via `process_paper`\n- OCR with MinerU (`ocr_paper`)\n- Metadata extraction + enrichment (`extract_metadata`)\n- Section structure extraction (`extract_sections`)\n- Markdown translation (`translate_paper`)\n- Summary report generation (`generate_summary`)\n- Folder rename by metadata convention (`rename_paper_folder`)\n- arXiv search/download tools\n- Zotero local read-only library tools (search, notes, collections, attachments, annotations)\n\n## Tool Groups\n\nThis server currently registers 25 MCP tools:\n\n- Paper processing: `ocr_paper`, `extract_metadata`, `extract_sections`, `translate_paper`, `generate_summary`, `rename_paper_folder`\n- Pipeline: `process_paper`, `start_process_paper_job`, `get_process_paper_job`, `cancel_process_paper_job`, `batch_process…","publisher":null,"homepage":null,"repository":null,"version":"0.1.4","license":null,"protocols":["mcp"],"tags":["mcp"],"pricing":null,"endpoints":[{"url":"pypi:fro-wang-academic-tools-mcp","type":"package_pypi","auth":null,"probeable":false}],"skills":null,"tools":null,"extra":null,"attribution":{"kind":"pypi","name":"pypi","summary":"pypi","version":"pypi","description":"pypi"}},"derived":{"capabilities":[{"slug":"research.academic","name":"Academic Research","confidence":1,"provenance":"derived"},{"slug":"content.translation","name":"Translation","confidence":0.871,"provenance":"derived"}],"categories":["content","research"],"language":"en"},"observed":{"status":"unknown","statusReason":"Distributed as a package to run locally; no network endpoint to check.","lastOkAt":null,"lastProbedAt":null,"statusComputedAt":null,"reliability30d":null,"latestObservations":[],"tools":null,"package":{"name":"fro-wang-academic-tools-mcp","registry":"pypi","observedAt":"2026-10-21T23:24:36.054Z","publishedAt":"2026-04-18T14:00:12.550372Z","latestVersion":"0.1.4"},"toolSurface":null,"endpointFacts":[]},"verification":{"claimed":false,"claimedAt":null,"proofs":[]},"provenance":{"sources":[{"source":"pypi","key":"fro-wang-academic-tools-mcp","url":"https://pypi.org/project/fro-wang-academic-tools-mcp/","firstSeenAt":"2026-09-09T16:23:01.428Z","fetchedAt":"2026-10-21T23:22:45.956Z","normalizedAt":"2026-10-21T23:22:45.956Z"}]},"firstSeenAt":"2026-09-09T16:23:01.428Z","updatedAt":"2026-10-21T23:24:36.054Z"}
