paper-search-mcp-openai-v2
This server wraps eight academic search APIs into a unified interface for finding and downloading research papers. It exposes standardized search and fetch tools that work across arXiv, PubMed, bioRxiv, medRxiv, Google Scholar, Semantic Scholar, CrossRef, and IACR ePrint Archive, returning consistent Paper objects regardless of source. Built for OpenAI Deep Research compatibility, so you can plug it into Claude or ChatGPT workflows that need to pull academic sources. Handles async requests with httpx and includes PDF download capabilities where available. Reach for this when you're doing literature reviews or need LLMs to cite actual papers rather than hallucinate references.
