使用

Agent： /scipdf 下载：Nanometre-scale thermometry in a living cell

CLI：

node dist/index.js download 10.1038/nature12373
node dist/index.js download --title "Nanometre-scale thermometry in a living cell"
node dist/index.js batch 10.a/b 10.c/d
node dist/index.js resolve "some title"
node dist/index.js parse refs.bib
node dist/index.js list
node dist/index.js check-mirrors

无参数启动 = MCP stdio 服务。

下载顺序与数据源

默认路径（无需邮箱）：

（可选）Unpaywall OA          # 仅当 SCIPDF_UNPAYWALL_EMAIL + SCIPDF_PREFER_OA=true
  → pdfHosts 直链 PDF         # 如 sci.bban.top
  → scihubMirrors HTML 镜像   # 逐个解析页面中的 PDF 链接

健康缓存会跳过近期失败的镜像（SCIPDF_HEALTH_TTL_MS，默认 15 分钟）。可用 check-mirrors / MCP check_mirrors 探测。

默认 pdfHosts

主机	说明
`https://sci.bban.top/pdf/`	优先尝试的 DOI 直链主机

默认 Sci-Hub 镜像（`DEFAULT_MIRRORS`）

内置 15 个 HTML 镜像（以 src/config.ts / config.example.json 为准）：

镜像	备注
`https://sci-hub.ren/`	传统域名
`https://sci-hub.red/`	传统域名
`https://sci-hub.ee/`	传统域名
`https://sci-hub.st/`	传统域名（部分网络较慢或拦截）
`https://sci-hub.ru/`	传统域名
`https://sci-hub.box/`	传统域名
`https://sci-hub.se/`	传统域名（部分网络 DNS 失败）
`https://sci-hub.sidesgame.com/`	已实测可下 PDF
`https://sci-hub.vg/`	已实测可下 PDF
`https://sci-hub.usualwant.com/`	已实测可下 PDF
`https://sci-hub.hkvisa.net/`	已实测；可能跳转 usualwant
`https://sci-hub.al/`	已实测可下 PDF
`https://sci-hub.mksa.top/`	已实测；可能跳转 pismin
`https://www.pismin.com/`	已实测可下 PDF
`https://www.sci-hub.in/`	已实测可下 PDF

镜像可用性随地区与封锁变化；列表仅作默认回退，不是可用性保证。

自定义镜像

环境变量（逗号 / 分号 / 换行分隔）：

export SCIPDF_MIRRORS="https://sci-hub.vg/,https://www.pismin.com/"
export SCIPDF_PDF_HOSTS="https://sci.bban.top/pdf/"
node dist/index.js check-mirrors
node dist/index.js download --force 10.1038/nature12373

或复制 config.example.json → 项目目录 config.json / ~/.config/scipdf-mcp/config.json，编辑 scihubMirrors 与 pdfHosts。
配置优先级：SCIPDF_* 环境变量 > 配置文件 > 内置默认。

MCP Tools / Resources / Prompts

Tool	说明
`download_paper`	单篇；返回 path、`cached`、`citation`、错误 `code`
`download_papers`	批量去重 + `scipdf-manifest.json`
`resolve_doi`	Crossref + OpenAlex
`parse_references`	bib/ris/粘贴列表抽 DOI
`list_mirrors` / `check_mirrors`	配置与健康缓存探测
`list_papers`	已下载列表
`open_paper`	系统默认打开 PDF
`format_citation`	APA / GB/T / BibTeX

环境变量（节选）

变量	含义	默认
`SCIPDF_DOWNLOAD_DIR`	保存目录	`~/Documents/Papers`
`SCIPDF_UNPAYWALL_EMAIL`	可选，Unpaywall 真实邮箱	未设 = 不用 OA
`SCIPDF_PREFER_OA`	为 true 时才在 Sci-Hub 前试 OA	`false`（默认 Sci-Hub）
`SCIPDF_ALLOW_SCIHUB`	是否允许 Sci-Hub（主路径）	`true`
`SCIPDF_FILENAME_STYLE`	`doi` 或 `author_year_title`	`doi`
`SCIPDF_PDF_HOSTS`	直连 PDF 主机（逗号分隔）	`https://sci.bban.top/pdf/`

`SCIPDF_DEBUG=1`	调试日志	off
`SCIPDF_HEALTH_TTL_MS`	镜像健康缓存	15min

Unpaywall（可选，非强制）

默认只走 Sci-Hub，无需任何邮箱。

若要优先合法 OA，需同时配置：

export SCIPDF_UNPAYWALL_EMAIL="你的真实邮箱@gmail.com"
export SCIPDF_PREFER_OA=true

Unpaywall 要求真实邮箱（统计用量，不收费）。example.com 无效。

配置	行为
默认（无邮箱 / 无 PREFER_OA）	只走 Sci-Hub / pdfHosts
只设邮箱	仍默认 Sci-Hub（可用 `unpaywall` 命令单独查询）
邮箱 + `PREFER_OA=true`	先 OA，失败再 Sci-Hub
`ALLOW_SCIHUB=false` + 邮箱 + PREFER_OA	仅 OA

Grok 示例（可选 OA）：

[mcp_servers.scipdf]
command = "node"
args = ["/path/to/scipdf-mcp/dist/index.js"]
env = {
  SCIPDF_DOWNLOAD_DIR = "/Users/you/Documents/Papers",
  SCIPDF_UNPAYWALL_EMAIL = "you@gmail.com",
  SCIPDF_PREFER_OA = "true"
}

见 config.example.json。
