Overview

AI-generated overview

Local MCP server that connects an assistant to academic literature databases such as arXiv and DBLP to speed up research.

What you can do
  • Search academic literature databases, including arXiv and DBLP, from the assistant.
  • Retrieve and work with paper and publication records to support literature review.
  • No individual tools are documented in the supplied listing, so exact operations are not described.
When to use it
Useful when you want an assistant to look up papers, authors or venues in arXiv and DBLP while doing a literature review or research task, instead of copying results by hand.
Requirements
Runs as a local process on the user's machine, installed from the PyPI package lit-mcp over stdio; a Python environment is implied by the PyPI package. No authentication, environment variables or headers are declared. Network access is needed to reach the literature databases.
Before you install
Queries are sent to third-party academic services (arXiv, DBLP), so search terms leave your machine. No credentials are declared. Desktop-only; no web execution.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Lit Mcp in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Desktop only via STDIO. STDIO servers start a local process, so they need the SourceWeft desktop host.

    Keep the endpoint answering the MCP handshake; SourceWeft probes it every 30 days.

  • Auth declared10 pts

    Declare the credential headers in the registry entry, or keep the endpoint answering the probe so its auth can be classified.
