MCP server with tools to search, fetch, analyze, and report on scientific papers and datasets.

### Features
- ArXiv search and download
- ACL Anthology search
- Hugging Face datasets search
- Semantic Scholar citations and references
- Web search via Exa, Brave, or Tavily
- Web page crawler, LaTeX compilation, PDF reading
- Optional LLM-powered tools for document QA and research proposal workflows

### Requirements
- Python 3.12+

### Install
- Using pip (end users):
```bash
pip3 install academia-mcp
```

- For development (uv + Makefile):
```bash
uv venv .venv
make install
```

### Quickstart
- Run over HTTP (default transport):
```bash
python -m academia_mcp --transport streamable-http
# OR
uv run -m academia_mcp --transport streamable-http
```

- Run over stdio (for local MCP clients like Claude Desktop):
```bash
python -m academia_mcp --transport stdio
# OR
uv run -m academia_mcp --transport stdio
```

Notes:
- Transports: `stdio`, `sse`, `streamable-http`.
- `host`/`port` are used for HTTP transports; ignored for `stdio`. Default port is `5056` (or `PORT`).

### Authentication

Academia MCP supports optional token-based authentication for HTTP transports (`streamable-http` and `sse`). Authentication is disabled by default to maintain backward compatibility.

#### Enabling Authentication

Set the `ENABLE_AUTH` environment variable to `true`:

```bash
export ENA…
