"A search for academic or research papers" matching MCP servers:

MCP server for AI assistants to search and download ebooks from Z-Library and Anna's Archive, configured locally with automatic setup and download path.

50 tools and 400 functions for working with Excel/.xlsx spreadsheets — read/write, recalculate formulas, diff, repair broken references, and audit. Built for AI agents.

An MCP server that exposes macOS Spotlight search as tools, wrapping mdfind and mdls to provide full-text and metadata file search across the system.

Enables autonomous web research, file management, and dynamic UI dashboard generation through Gemini LLM and FastMCP.

A native Nextcloud app that exposes the instance as an MCP server so Claude and other MCP clients can read, search, and (with admin-granted permissions) edit files, notes, calendars, Deck cards, and Talk conversations. It runs inside Nextcloud with OAuth or app-password sign-in, applying each user's own Nextcloud permissions and admin-controlled per-operation grants.

Provides fully local, privacy-preserving semantic search over file names and paths via MCP, using BGE embeddings for fuzzy matching and supporting incremental updates, watch mode, and a loopback-only HTTP server.

A collection of small MCP servers for macOS automation that expose Apple Mail, MoneyMoney, and Spotlight functionality as tools via AppleScript and command-line, enabling AI applications to search mail, manage contacts and transactions, and perform system-wide file searches through natural language.

Enables AI assistants to run incremental SQLite FTS5 full-text search over explicitly configured local workspace roots, covering Markdown, code, PDF, DOCX, XLSX, CSV and HTML with BM25 ranking, Chinese bigrams, and phrase, prefix, path, type and date filters. Exposes search, safe root-confined reads with line/page/sheet locations, recent-file listing, and reindexing as MCP tools so assistants can locate and quote source content without network or account access.

A local-first MCP server that enables semantic search over PDF and DOCX documents using structure-aware parsing and vector storage. It allows users to query their local knowledge base through Claude Code without cloud dependencies or GPU requirements.

MCP server for full-text search across PDF document collections with offline indexing, ranked results, snippets, and page rendering.

Enables blazingly fast file and content searching in large codebases using ripgrep, with intelligent filtering, fuzzy finding, and directory tree visualization while respecting .gitignore and avoiding common bloat directories.

Enables AI agents to perform local video, audio, and file operations inside an isolated workspace, including cutting/concat videos, extracting audio, transcribing, and managing files, with typed responses and background job support.

MCP server that encapsulates Apple Mail on macOS via AppleScript, enabling invoice PDF search, attachment saving, and message flagging through natural language.

Enables AI clients to search and read a local folder of notes, fetch public web pages as markdown with SSRF and robots.txt safeguards, and convert times between IANA timezones. It exposes these read-only capabilities as MCP tools over stdio or streamable HTTP.

A Model Context Protocol server that enables keyword search within files, returning matching lines with line numbers.

Integrates Everything Search with Claude Code for lightning-fast file searching across entire drives, up to 400x faster than traditional methods.

A Model Context Protocol server that provides tools for searching arXiv papers and managing research paper information with local storage capabilities.

Enables fast file search on macOS using the native mdfind (Spotlight) command, with support for filtering, regex, sorting, and limiting results.

Integrates Everything file search with Claude Desktop, enabling instant Windows filesystem search via natural language queries.

Provides integration with Everything Search Engine allowing powerful file search capabilities through the Model Context Protocol with advanced search options like regex, case sensitivity, and sorting.
