Academic Research Mcp Server

Overview

Academic Research Mcp Server is a Model Context Protocol server that lets AI assistants search arXiv, Google Scholar, and Wikipedia for academic papers and research knowledge. When you connect it to an MCP-compatible AI assistant, the model can call these search tools directly during conversations and reasoning tasks, deciding when academic research lookups would help.

The server runs locally as an npm package. Install it with npx -y @thenextgennexus/academic-research-mcp-server and configure it by setting your APIFY_TOKEN environment variable. The latest release is v1.0.1, with source code available at TheNextGenNexus/web-intelligence-mcp-servers on GitHub.

Academic Research Mcp Server is categorized as Development on mcp.site and integrates with MCP clients including Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, Zed, and others. If you maintain this server, you can claim this listing to verify ownership and keep information up to date.
