Openpaper Mcp
Connects Claude to OpenPaper.dev's academic paper generation service, which uses 18 specialized AI agents to search over 500 million sources from OpenAlex, Crossref, and Semantic Scholar. Exposes three tools: start_paper_generation kicks off a new paper with your topic and citation style, check_paper_status polls for progress and retrieves PDF/DOCX downloads when complete, and list_my_papers shows your generation history. Useful when you need thesis-level research papers with verified citations rather than generic AI summaries. Papers run 5 to 60 pages and cost 1 to 3 credits depending on length. Requires an API token from the OpenPaper dashboard.
