Read from the source code; the running server may differ. Descriptions are the server’s own words; hidden characters are shown as [U+…].

  • autocomplete_authors_tool

    Rapidly autocomplete author names via OpenAlex to find the correct OpenAlex ID. Useful for disambiguation before tracking works.

  • batch_lookup_tool

    Batch-fetch metadata for multiple DOIs in a single call. Accepts a list of DOIs (up to 50). Returns title, authors, year, citation count, and OA status for each. Useful for processing reference lists or comparing multiple papers at once.

  • fetch_pdf_text_scihub_tool

    An all-in-one bypass that resolves a DOI via Sci-Hub and directly extracts its full text using PyMuPDF.

  • fetch_pdf_text_unpaywall_tool

    An all-in-one bypass. Takes a DOI, resolves its best PDF on Unpaywall, and directly downloads/extracts the text using PyMuPDF.

  • format_citation_tool

    Format a citation for a paper in a specific style. Supported styles: apa, ieee, chicago-author-date, harvard-cite-them-right, vancouver, modern-language-association, turabian-fullnote-bibliography. Uses CrossRef/DOI content negotiation for authoritative formatting.

  • get_author_profile_s2_tool

    Get author bibliometrics from Semantic Scholar using an S2 authorId.

  • get_author_profile_scopus_tool

    Retrieve Elsevier Scopus Author Profile strictly using a Scopus Author ID (digits). Returns precise academic h-index and document metrics from Scopus.

  • get_bibtex_tool

    Generate a BibTeX entry for a paper given its DOI. Uses CrossRef content negotiation to produce a properly formatted BibTeX string ready for use in LaTeX documents.

  • get_book_details_tool

    Get detailed metadata for a specific book. Provide the book_id (e.g., OL12345W or Google Volume ID) and the source ('openlibrary' or 'googlebooks').

  • get_citations_tool

    Tracks lineage by retrieving a paper's citations. Provide a DOI (10.xxx) or OpenAlex ID (Wxxx). Set direction="references" to see who this paper cites. Set direction="citations" to see who cited this paper recently.

  • get_full_text_tool

    Extracts full text from an Open Access PDF or HTML page given its URL. This is best used after finding an OA PDF link from search_papers_openalex. Use start_page/end_page (1-indexed) to extract only specific pages from long PDFs. Warning: This can return a very large string.

  • get_full_text_visual_tool

    Multimodal Vision Tool. Downloads a PDF and renders the specified number of pages identically into images for the AI to 'look at'. Use this if the user asks you to analyze a graph, table, format, or layout in the paper. If the text extractor doesn't capture formatting, you can use this tool to 'see' the actual PDF! Returns a sequence of texts and images (multimodal format natively parsed). Warning: High token/vision capacity used per page. Default 3 pages.

  • get_paper_details_s2_tool

    Get detailed metadata from Semantic Scholar, including the AI-generated TLDR. Accepts an S2 paper ID or a DOI (e.g., 10.1038/nrn3241).

  • get_paper_details_tool

    Get detailed metadata and the full abstract for a specific paper. If the paper_id looks like a Scopus ID (e.g., SCOPUS_ID:85123) or a DOI (10.xxx), it uses Scopus. Returns formatted detailed text.

  • get_related_works_tool

    Find related/similar papers for a given paper. Accepts a DOI (10.xxx) or OpenAlex ID (Wxxx). Uses OpenAlex's bibliographic coupling and co-citation analysis to find semantically related works.

Show 12 more tools
  • get_scihub_link_tool

    Attempts to resolve a strict paywalled DOI to a free direct PDF link using Sci-Hub.

  • get_unpaywall_link_tool

    Checks the Unpaywall database using a DOI to find a legal Open Access PDF link. If found, returns the URL. If not, returns that it's behind a strict paywall.

  • interact_with_book_tool

    Extract text or interact with a book using its Libgen MD5 hash. action: - 'toc': Returns the table of contents. - 'search': Searches for 'keyword' and returns only pages where it is found. - 'pages': Extracts text strictly from 'start_page' to 'end_page'.

  • retrieve_author_works_tool

    Retrieve chronologically sorted publications for an OpenAlex author ID. E.g., input 'W123456789' or 'https://openalex.org/A123456789'.

  • search_author_by_orcid_tool

    Look up an author directly by their ORCID identifier. Accepts raw ORCID (e.g. 0000-0002-9322-3515) or full URL (https://orcid.org/0000-0002-9322-3515). Returns the full author profile including h-index, works count, and affiliations.

  • search_authors_tool

    Search for deep author profiles via OpenAlex. Returns h-index, i10-index, and recent institutions.

  • search_books_tool

    Search for books using either 'openlibrary' or 'googlebooks'. Returns a list of matching books with titles, authors, and year.

  • search_libgen_tool

    Search for books in Library Genesis (Libgen). Returns books with their 'md5' which can be used to extract the text. BEST PRACTICE: To know what a book is about before downloading, ALWAYS use 'search_books_tool' (Open Library/Google Books) FIRST to read its synopsis/description. Once you decide which book is best, use this tool to find its MD5 for text extraction.

  • search_papers_s2_tool

    Search papers using Semantic Scholar (S2). S2 provides excellent relevance sorting and AI-generated TLDRs on details. NOTE: S2 has a strict 1 request/second rate limit, so this tool may be slightly slower than OpenAlex or Scopus.

  • search_papers_tool

    Searches the Scopus library by accepting standard textual querying or advanced Scopus Boolean Syntax (e.g. `TITLE-ABS-KEY(artificial intelligence) AND PUBYEAR > 2020`). Returns metadata summaries. Set use_scopus=False to use OpenAlex which guarantees Open Access PDF links but might have less robust abstracts in standard search. sort_by: 'relevance' (default), 'cited_by_count' (most cited first), 'publication_year' (newest first). Only works with OpenAlex. Returns a formatted string of results.

  • search_titles_unpaywall_tool

    Natively search Unpaywall's database via paper titles. Set is_oa=True to strictly return Open Access results.

  • search_topics_tool

    Browse and discover research topics/concepts for a given keyword. Returns topic names, their parent fields, domains, and publication volume. Useful for mapping a research landscape, finding subfields, or identifying trending areas.
