Openpaper Mcp

Overview

Openpaper Mcp is an autonomous research engine that transforms prompts into fully-cited academic papers through the Model Context Protocol. Any MCP-compatible AI assistant can access its research and citation tools directly, letting the model decide when to deploy them during conversations or agent workflows.

The server runs locally as a Python package installed via uvx openpaper-mcp, communicating over stdio on your machine. You'll need to provide an OPENPAPER_API_TOKEN environment variable to authenticate. The latest release is v0.1.3, with source code available at federicodeponte/openpaper-mcp on GitHub.

Openpaper Mcp sits in the AI & Agents category and works with all major MCP clients including Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, Zed and others. If you maintain this server, claim this listing to verify ownership, display the Verified badge, and keep information up to date.
