Implementation Reference
- src/server.py:73-105 (handler)The core handler function for the 'extract_claims' tool. It fetches the paper by ID, retrieves the abstract, formats the paper info and abstract, and provides instructions for extracting key claims, hypothesis, methodology, findings, and conclusions. The @mcp.tool() decorator also registers it as an MCP tool.
