Polymath MCP
Server Configuration
Describes the environment variables required to run the server.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| POLYMATH_EMAIL | No | A real contact e-mail. Unlocks the Unpaywall source (which requires it) and puts Crossref requests in its polite pool with better rate limits. Without it everything else still works. |
Instructions
Guidance the server publishes about itself, which clients place ahead of the tool catalog so the model reads it before choosing anything.
This server publishes no instructions, or was last inspected before Glama recorded them.

Tools
Functions exposed to the LLM to take actions
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| search_papersA | Search academic papers across arXiv, OpenAlex, Crossref, DBLP, Europe PMC and Semantic Scholar. Results are deduplicated by DOI/arXiv id and sorted by citation count. Optionally restrict to specific sources or a year range. |
| get_paperA | Get details for one paper by DOI (e.g. '10.1145/3600006') or arXiv id (e.g. '2301.12345' or 'arXiv:2301.12345'). Merges metadata from every source that knows the paper, including an open-access PDF link when one exists. |
| search_codeA | Search code repositories on GitHub, e.g. to find the implementation of a paper or a library. Optionally filter by programming language. |
| search_hubA | Search the Hugging Face Hub for models or datasets. |
| search_trendsA | Search practitioner discussions and trends on Hacker News, Stack Overflow and the Electronics Stack Exchange. Useful as a signal of real-world relevance and for practical questions about a technology. |
| search_componentsA | Search electronic component information from keyless sources: scanned datasheets and databooks on the Internet Archive and KiCad symbol libraries (which confirm a part's existence and canonical naming). No keyless commercial parts API exists, so coverage is partial; for practical component discussion also try search_trends, which covers the Electronics Stack Exchange. |
| search_standardsA | Search technical standards and specifications: IETF RFCs and Internet-Drafts (TCP, HTTP, DNS, TLS, QUIC, ...). The primary source for networking and internet systems specs. |
| list_sourcesA | List every available data source and the category it serves. |
