<div align="center"> <img src="assets/paperclip.svg" alt="Paperclip Logo" width="48" height="48"> # Paperclip MCP Server </div> > 📎 Paperclip is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that enables searching and retrieving research papers from Arxiv, the Open Science Framework (OSF) API, and OpenAlex. [](https://github.com/matsjfunke/paperclip/actions/workflows/tests.yml) [](https://github.com/matsjfunke/paperclip/actions/workflows/ping-server.yml) [](LICENSE.md) ## Quick Start Setup the paperclip MCP server in your host via the server url `https://paperclip.matsjfunke.com/mcp` no authentication is needed. Example JSON for cursor: ```json { "mcpServers": { "paperclip": { "url": "https://paperclip.matsjfunke.com/mcp" } } } ``` ## Table of Contents - [Quick Start](#quick-start) - [Usage Examples](#usage-examples) - [Supported Paper providers](#supported-paper-providers) - [Preprint Providers to be added](#preprint-providers-to-be-added) - [Contributing](#contributing) ## Usage Examples Here are examples of Paperclip integrated with popular MCP clients: **Cursor IDE:**  **Langdock:**  ## Supported Paper providers - [AfricArXiv](https://africarxiv.org) - [AgriXiv](https://agrirxiv.org) - [ArabXiv](https://arabixiv.org) - [arXiv](https://arxiv.org) - [BioHackrXiv](http://guide.biohackrxiv.org/about.html) - [BodoArXiv](https://bodoarxiv.wordpress.com) - [COP Preprints](https://www.collegeofphlebology.com) - [EarthArXiv](https://eartharxiv.org) - [EcoEvoRxiv](https://www.ecoevorxiv.com) - [ECSarxiv](https://ecsarxiv.org) - [EdArXiv](https://edarxiv.org) - [EngrXiv](https://engrxiv.org) - [FocusArchive](https://osf.io/preprints/focusarchive) - [Frenxiv](https://frenxiv.org) - [INArxiv](https://rinarxiv.lipi.go.id) - [IndiaRxiv](https://osf.io/preprints/indiarxiv) - [Law Archive](https://library.law.yale.edu/research/law-archive) - [LawArXiv](https://osf.io/preprints/lawarxiv) - [LISSA](https://osf.io/preprints/lissa) - [LiveData](https://osf.io/preprints/livedata) - [MarXiv](https://osf.io/preprints/marxiv) - [MediArXiv](https://mediarxiv.com) - [MetaArXiv](https://osf.io/preprints/metaarxiv) - [MindRxiv](https://osf.io/preprints/mindrxiv) - [NewAddictionSx](https://osf.io/preprints/newaddictionsx) - [NutriXiv](https://niblunc.org) - [OpenAlex](https://openalex.org) - [OSF Preprints](https://osf.io/preprints/osf) - [PaleoRxiv](https://osf.io/preprints/paleorxiv) - [PsyArXiv](https://psyarxiv.com) - [SocArXiv](https://socopen.org/welcome) - [SportRxiv](http://sportrxiv.org) - [Thesis Commons](https://osf.io/preprints/thesiscommons) ## Preprint Providers to be added [List of preprint repositorys](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_preprint_repositories) - bioRxiv & medRxiv both share the underlying api structure (https://api.biorxiv.org/pubs/[server]/[interval]/[cursor] where [server] can be "biorxiv" or "medrxiv") - ChemRxiv - [hal open science](https://hal.science/?lang=en) - [research square](https://www.researchsquare.com/) - [osf preprints](https://osf.io/preprints) - [preprints.org](https://preprints.org) - [science open](https://www.scienceopen.com/) - [SSRN](https://www.ssrn.com/index.cfm/en/the-lancet/) - [synthical](https://synthical.com/feed/new) ## Contributing Interested in contributing to Paperclip?
