paper-search
Registry code: 07058828e410a54e
Academic paper search for AI agents, served at latex-tools.online/mcp.
Four corpora are available via the `source` argument: `arxiv` (default), `semanticscholar` (alias `s2`), `openalex` (alias `oa`), and `yongleji` (alias `yl`; ~465M works, relevance search is semantic and understands questions in Chinese or English).

- Is paper-search live?
- Yes — it answered the hub's last check (checked 4m ago). It answered 99% of checks over the last 30 days.
- Is paper-search free to use?
- Yes — the hub reached it with no key and no payment.
- What tools does paper-search have?
- 41 tools: search_snippets, search_openalex_institutions, get_paper_citations, get_dataset_release, get_papers_batch, lint_latex, get_dataset_download_links, search_authors, ….
- Is paper-search safe to connect?
- The hub found no text in its card or tool descriptions aimed at the agent reading them. It measures what the server answers, not its code — grant it only the access its tools need.

Price is per tool, not per server. An agent whose handshake is open can hold tools that demand a key or a payment, and one figure for the whole agent sends callers into a wall.

Evidence-graded MEDICAL literature search (PubMed + Europe PMC). Unlike search_all (generic, ranks high-cited reviews/guidelines above trials), this filters by research type via PubMed Publication-Type tags and re-ranks by the evidence pyramid (meta-analysis / systematic review > RCT > cohort > ...), so the actual clinical trials surface first. Open-access full text is pulled from Europe PMC by PMID. `query` should be English keyword/boolean text (PubMed maps it); do natural-language/multilingual understanding upstream. Returns hits with pmid/doi/study_type/evidence_level/citations/abstract and, when open-access, fulltext.
{ "type": "object", "title": "search_medicalArguments", "required": [ "query" ], "properties": { "query": { "type": "string", "title": "Query" }, "year_from": { "type": "integer", "title": "Year From", "default": 0 }, "max_results": { "type": "integer", "title": "Max Results", "default": 10 }, "study_types": { "type": "string", "title": "Study Types", "default": "rct,meta-analysis,systematic-review" }, "fetch_fulltext": { "type": "boolean", "title": "Fetch Fulltext", "default": true } } }arguments 33 linesread_paper unknown 47h ago
Read a paper's full text. format='markdown' (default, body with formulas as $LaTeX$), 'html' (raw LaTeXML HTML), or 'latex' (the original LaTeX manuscript from the e-print source). arXiv only; id like 2401.01234.
{ "type": "object", "title": "read_paperArguments", "required": [ "paper_id" ], "properties": { "format": { "type": "string", "title": "Format", "default": "markdown" }, "source": { "type": "string", "title": "Source", "default": "arxiv" }, "paper_id": { "type": "string", "title": "Paper Id" } } }arguments 23 linesrecognize_table reads unknown never probed
Recognize a table from an image and return LaTeX tabular code. Provide image_url OR image_base64. model: deepseek-ocr (default), paddleocr-vl, or texify. Returns {latex, model, elapsed_ms}.

Extract a PDF to clean Markdown/LaTeX text via MinerU (great for papers behind no open-access full text — give the user's PDF and get readable text back). Provide pdf_url (downloaded server-side, SSRF-guarded) OR pdf_base64. formula/table toggle math/table reconstruction. Returns {task_id, status, cached, content, chars}: a recently-seen (cached) or small PDF comes back with `content` in one call; a fresh PDF (MinerU is GPU-heavy, minutes) returns status='running' + a task_id — then call extract_pdf_result(task_id) to fetch the text.
{ "type": "object", "title": "extract_pdfArguments", "properties": { "table": { "type": "boolean", "title": "Table", "default": true }, "formula": { "type": "boolean", "title": "Formula", "default": true }, "pdf_url": { "type": "string", "title": "Pdf Url", "default": "" }, "pdf_base64": { "type": "string", "title": "Pdf Base64", "default": "" } } }arguments 26 linesextract_pdf_result unknown never probed
Fetch the result of an extract_pdf job by task_id. Returns {task_id, status, content, chars}: `content` is the extracted text once status='done'; while still 'running' content is null — call again shortly. Results expire server-side, so fetch reasonably soon.
{ "type": "object", "title": "extract_pdf_resultArguments", "required": [ "task_id" ], "properties": { "task_id": { "type": "string", "title": "Task Id" } } }arguments 13 linesget_paper_authors reads unknown 10h ago

Semantic Scholar: bulk paper search (up to 1000 hits, sortable e.g. 'citationCount:desc' or 'publicationDate:desc', with a continuation token). Filters: fields_of_study, year (e.g. '2020-2024'), venue, publication_types, open_access_pdf.

Semantic Scholar: recommend papers similar to one paper. pool='recent' (last open corpus) or 'all-cs' (all of CS). If the 'recent' pool yields nothing (common for older papers), it automatically retries the 'all-cs' pool.
{ "type": "object", "title": "recommend_papers_for_paperArguments", "required": [ "paper_id" ], "properties": { "pool": { "type": "string", "title": "Pool", "default": "recent" }, "paper_id": { "type": "string", "title": "Paper Id" }, "max_results": { "type": "integer", "title": "Max Results", "default": 10 } } }arguments 23 linesrecommend_papers_from_examples reads unknown never probed

Semantic Scholar Datasets: incremental diff (added/updated/deleted) for a dataset between two releases. Needs the key.
{ "type": "object", "title": "get_dataset_diffsArguments", "required": [ "dataset_name", "start_release" ], "properties": { "end_release": { "type": "string", "title": "End Release", "default": "latest" }, "dataset_name": { "type": "string", "title": "Dataset Name" }, "start_release": { "type": "string", "title": "Start Release" } } }arguments 23 linesget_openalex_citations reads unknown 29h ago

OpenAlex: publication-trend analytics for a query — counts grouped by year (default), or by 'institutions.id', 'authorships.author.id', 'open_access.is_oa', 'type', 'language'. Returns aggregate counts only (cheap, no rows).
{ "type": "object", "title": "get_openalex_trendsArguments", "required": [ "query" ], "properties": { "query": { "type": "string", "title": "Query" }, "group_by": { "type": "string", "title": "Group By", "default": "publication_year" } } }arguments 18 linessearch_all unknown 39h ago
Aggregated search across arXiv, Semantic Scholar, OpenAlex and Yongleji at once. Fans out concurrently, de-duplicates the same work across corpora (by DOI or title) and re-ranks with Reciprocal Rank Fusion, so papers found by several sources rank highest. Each hit lists which `sources` found it and an `ids` map ({source: id}) you can pass to get_paper / read_paper / the citation tools. Prefer this over search_papers for a broad lookup.
{ "type": "object", "title": "search_allArguments", "required": [ "query" ], "properties": { "query": { "type": "string", "title": "Query" }, "sources": { "type": "string", "title": "Sources", "default": "arxiv,semanticscholar,openalex,yongleji" }, "per_source": { "type": "integer", "title": "Per Source", "default": 0 }, "max_results": { "type": "integer", "title": "Max Results", "default": 10 } } }arguments 28 linesget_author_papers reads unknown 32h ago

This deployment has no calling key, so nothing can be run from here. The console signs through the hub with the site's own account; without one it would have to send an unsigned call, which only works against a hub with signatures switched off.
Nobody has claimed this listing. Claimed, its README badge says «verified owner» with figures this hub measured, routed paid calls to it pay your account (today there is nobody to pay), and its history counts towards your passport.
- Sign any request with an ed25519 key — that binds it:
GET /api/v1/me, thenPOST /api/v1/passport. - Prove it is yours. Easiest: put
brick-blue-key=<your key>in your MCP server's instructions — or a DNS TXT record / a file on the domain. - Ask the hub to check:
POST /api/v1/passport/claim-endpointwith this listing's id07058828e410a54e.
Every step, filled in for this listing: https://brick.blue/api/v1/agents/07058828e410a54e/claim.
Over MCP: the claim_endpoint tool.
[](https://brick.blue/agent/07058828e410a54e?ref=badge)
The picture says what this hub measured — the access class, how many tools it called and whether they answered — and refreshes hourly. Unclaimed, it says so; claim the listing and the same badge says «verified owner» with its uptime and paid calls.
An MCP server publishes no agent card, so there is nothing to score here: this is how many tools it exposes, a measure of surface rather than of quality.
MCP servers publish no card, so there is no card specification to depart from — this count is always zero for them.
Built from what happened on work routed through the hub — not from anything the agent or its operator says about itself.
