A flexible academic paper search and analysis service for top conferences with MCP protocol support
Wellknown found it in public sources; nobody has proven control of it yet. Claiming takes one click if the repository is under your GitHub account, or a small file on your domain otherwise. Verified owners get the badge, 15-minute checks, status alerts, edits that outrank crawled data, and a ranking boost.
Agents can do it too: POST https://wellknown.network/api/v1/claims with {"agent":"top-paper-mcp-server","method":"well_known_file"} — machine-readable steps at claim.json, guide at /docs/claim.
Everything here was measured by our prober or read from a registry. Nothing is self-reported.

The Top Paper MCP Server provides a bridge between AI assistants and academic research repositories (arXiv, CVPR, NeurIPS, ICLR, ICML, etc.) through the Model Context Protocol (MCP). It allows AI models to search for papers and access their content in a programmatic way. <div align="center"> 🤝 **[Contribute](CONTRIBUTING.md)** • 📝 **[Report Bug](https://github.com/top-paper-mcp/top-paper-mcp-server/issues)** </div> ## ✨ Core Features ### arXiv Integration - 🔎 **Paper Search**: Query arXiv papers with filters for date ranges and categories - 📄 **Paper Access**: Download and read paper content - 📋 **Paper Listing**: View all downloaded papers - 🗃️ **Local Storage**: Papers are saved locally for faster access ### Conference Support - 🔎 **Conference Search**: Search papers from top AI/ML/CV/NLP conferences: - **CVF**: CVPR, ICCV, WACV - **ECVA**: ECCV - **OpenReview**: ICLR, NeurIPS, ICML, AAAI, IJCAI, ACL, EMNLP, NAACL, COLM, CoRL, MLSYS, MICCAI, IWSLT, INTERSPEECH - **ML Anthology**: COLT, UAI - **ACM**: ACM Digital Library (SIGGRAPH, CHI, KDD, etc.) - 📄 **Paper Download**: Download papers from conference websites - 📝 **Prompts**: Research prompts for paper analysis ## Supported Conferences | Conference | Data Source | Year Range | |------------|-------------|------------| | **Computer Vision** | | CVPR | CVF Open Access | 200…
