Server Configuration

Describes the environment variables required to run the server.

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault

No arguments

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

NameDescription
searchA

Search DBLP for publications using a boolean query string. Arguments:

  • query (string, required): A query string that may include boolean operators 'and' and 'or' (case-insensitive). For example, 'Swin and Transformer'. Parentheses are not supported.

  • max_results (number, optional): Maximum number of publications to return. Default is 10.

  • year_from (number, optional): Lower bound for publication year.

  • year_to (number, optional): Upper bound for publication year.

  • venue_filter (string, optional): Case-insensitive substring filter for publication venues (e.g., 'iclr').

  • include_bibtex (boolean, optional): Whether to include BibTeX entries in the results. Default is false. Returns a list of publication objects including title, authors, venue, year, type, doi, ee, and url.

fuzzy_title_searchA

Search DBLP for publications with fuzzy title matching. Arguments:

  • title (string, required): Full or partial title of the publication (case-insensitive).

  • similarity_threshold (number, required): A float between 0 and 1 where 1.0 means an exact match.

  • max_results (number, optional): Maximum number of publications to return. Default is 10.

  • year_from (number, optional): Lower bound for publication year.

  • year_to (number, optional): Upper bound for publication year.

  • venue_filter (string, optional): Case-insensitive substring filter for publication venues.

  • include_bibtex (boolean, optional): Whether to include BibTeX entries in the results. Default is false. Returns a list of publication objects sorted by title similarity score.

get_author_publicationsA

Retrieve publication details for a specific author with fuzzy matching. Arguments:

  • author_name (string, required): Full or partial author name (case-insensitive).

  • similarity_threshold (number, required): A float between 0 and 1 where 1.0 means an exact match.

  • max_results (number, optional): Maximum number of publications to return. Default is 20.

  • include_bibtex (boolean, optional): Whether to include BibTeX entries in the results. Default is false. Returns a dictionary with keys: name, publication_count, publications, and stats (which includes top venues, years, and types).

get_venue_infoA

Retrieve detailed information about a publication venue. Arguments:

  • venue_name (string, required): Venue name or abbreviation (e.g., 'ICLR' or full name). Returns a dictionary with fields: abbreviation, name, publisher, type, and category. Note: Some fields may be empty if DBLP does not provide the information.

calculate_statisticsA

Calculate statistics from a list of publication results. Arguments:

  • results (array, required): An array of publication objects, each with at least 'title', 'authors', 'venue', and 'year'. Returns a dictionary with:

  • total_publications: Total count.

  • time_range: Dictionary with 'min' and 'max' publication years.

  • top_authors: List of tuples (author, count) sorted by count.

  • top_venues: List of tuples (venue, count) sorted by count (empty venue is treated as '(empty)').

export_bibtexA

Export BibTeX entries from a collection of HTML hyperlinks. Arguments:

  • links (string, required): HTML string containing one or more key links. The href attribute should contain a URL to a BibTeX file, and the link text is used as the citation key. Example input with three links: "Smith2023 Jones2022 Brown2021" Process:

  • For each link, the tool fetches the BibTeX content from the URL

  • The citation key in each BibTeX entry is replaced with the key from the link text

  • All entries are combined and saved to a .bib file with a timestamp filename Returns:

  • A message with the full path to the saved .bib file

A4.1/5.0

Scored across 6 tools

Disambiguation5/5

Each tool has a clearly distinct purpose with no ambiguity: calculate_statistics processes existing results, export_bibtex handles BibTeX export, fuzzy_title_search and search provide different search methods, get_author_publications focuses on authors, and get_venue_info targets venues. The tools cover different aspects of the DBLP domain without overlap.

Naming Consistency5/5

All tool names follow a consistent verb_noun pattern with snake_case: calculate_statistics, export_bibtex, fuzzy_title_search, get_author_publications, get_venue_info, and search. The naming is predictable and readable throughout the set.

Tool Count5/5

With 6 tools, the count is well-scoped for a DBLP server, covering key operations like search, author/venue info, statistics, and BibTeX export. Each tool earns its place without feeling thin or bloated, suitable for typical academic workflows.

Completeness4/5

The tool set provides strong coverage for core DBLP operations including search, author/venue retrieval, and data export, with minor gaps such as no direct tool for updating or deleting data (though this may be intentional for a read-heavy domain). Agents can effectively navigate publication workflows with these tools.
