Overview

AI-generated overview

Lets an assistant search ArXiv preprints and Google Scholar papers and return citation counts in a single query.

What you can do
This remote MCP server exposes academic literature search to an assistant. According to its description, it queries ArXiv preprints together with Google Scholar papers and returns citation counts in one query. No individual tools are listed in the manifest, so the exact tool names and parameters are not documented here.
When to use it
Useful when you want an assistant to gather academic references, compare papers, or check how often a work has been cited without switching between separate search sites. It fits literature reviews, research summaries, and citation lookups. It is not intended for general web search or non-academic sources.
Requirements
A remote streamable HTTP endpoint; no local package or runtime is needed. An Apify API token is required and sent in the Authorization header. An Apify account is needed, with a free tier available at console.apify.com. Network access to the remote endpoint is required.
Before you install
The Authorization header carries an Apify API token, a secret that should be kept out of logs and shared configurations. Requests are routed through a third-party proxy endpoint, so queries and the token are handled outside your own infrastructure. The free tier is tied to an Apify account and may have usage limits or costs beyond it.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Academic Research Mcp Server in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Connect the required credentials. They are stored privately and never shown on public pages.
  3. Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Web executable via Streamable HTTP. Remote servers run from the web runtime once configured in a workspace.

Use with an agent

Paste this prompt into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or another agent — or into SourceWeft chat. The agent reads this server's install guide, shows you its publisher, endpoint and sign-in, and adds it to your client once you agree. Keys never go into a command.

Read https://sourceweft.com/mcp/com.thenextgennexus%2Facademic-research-mcp-server/install.md and connect the MCP server it describes to my client. Before changing any config, show me its publisher, endpoint and sign-in method and wait for my OK. Never put an API key in a command or in a file I would commit; ask me where it should come from.

Read the install guide the agent follows

Other MCP clients

Add this to your client's mcpServers config. The client completes OAuth sign-in on first connect.

This server asks you to sign in, so SourceWeft could not read its tools without an account and has not indexed them. What a connected account sees can depend on that account and its permissions.

How complete this listing is, computed from the registry entry, the endpoint and public sources. Not a rating of the server and not a statement that it is safe or working today: reachability is a dated check, and no installs or reviews go into the score.
