It provides tools for searching papers (e.g., `search_arxiv`) and downloading PDFs (e.g., `download_arxiv`), making it ideal for researchers and AI-driven workflows. Built with the MCP Python SDK, it integrates seamlessly with LLM clients like Claude Desktop.\n\n## Project Principles\n\n…","publisher":null,"homepage":"https://github.com/openags/paper-search-mcp","repository":"https://github.com/openags/paper-search-mcp","version":"0.1.8","license":null,"protocols":["mcp"],"tags":["academic","arxiv","mcp","papers","pubmed","search","semantic-scholar"],"pricing":null,"endpoints":[{"url":"pypi:paper-search-mcp-bruno","type":"package_pypi","auth":null,"probeable":false}],"skills":null,"tools":null,"extra":null,"attribution":{"kind":"pypi","name":"pypi","repoUrl":"pypi","summary":"pypi","version":"pypi","description":"pypi","homepageUrl":"pypi"}},"derived":{"capabilities":[{"slug":"research.academic","name":"Academic Research","confidence":1,"provenance":"declared"},{"slug":"productivity.tasks","name":"Tasks & To-do","confidence":0.745,"provenance":"derived"}],"categories":["productivity","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":"paper-search-mcp-bruno","registry":"pypi","observedAt":"2026-10-22T17:24:50.327Z","publishedAt":"2026-04-21T06:06:28.279791Z","latestVersion":"0.1.8"},"toolSurface":null,"endpointFacts":[]},"verification":{"claimed":false,"claimedAt":null,"proofs":[]},"provenance":{"sources":[{"source":"pypi","key":"paper-search-mcp-bruno","url":"https://pypi.org/project/paper-search-mcp-bruno/","firstSeenAt":"2026-09-10T09:25:31.762Z","fetchedAt":"2026-10-22T17:22:59.747Z","normalizedAt":"2026-10-22T17:22:59.747Z"}]},"firstSeenAt":"2026-09-10T09:25:31.762Z","updatedAt":"2026-10-22T17:24:50.327Z"}
