"A guide to conducting thorough web-based research" matching MCP servers:

A read-only FastMCP server for academic research that lets agents search papers, inspect metadata, follow citation graphs, generate BibTeX, and read full texts of open-access PDFs via semantic scholar, OpenAlex, arXiv, DBLP, and Crossref.

Searches open-access research papers by keyword and retrieves detailed metadata by CORE ID, including titles, authors, abstracts, DOIs, and download links.

Enables querying a single academic paper by DOI, PMID, or arXiv ID to retrieve its open-access copies, licenses, linked datasets, code, citations, and retraction status from multiple scholarly sources in one call.

MCP server for legal research that enables searching US case law via CourtListener, retrieving full opinion text, and looking up legal definitions from Cornell's Wex. Students can connect via a remote connector in Claude.ai to cite real, free legal sources.

Enables open-access academic paper search and lookup via arXiv and OpenAlex, plus journal-quality color palettes for scientific figure styling.

Enables searching and retrieving UK research grants, award values, institutions, and publications from the UKRI Gateway to Research API without authentication.

Enables in-chat scientific viewers for molecular structures, sequence alignments, and slide images, plus data tools for searching structures, fetching sequences, aligning them, and drafting NGS analysis plans.

Enables dental research and clinical intelligence by providing tools to search PubMed, systematic reviews, verify citations, and query ClinicalTrials.gov directly from Claude Web and Claude Desktop.

Enables read-only search and metadata retrieval from the official arXiv API, including tools to find papers by keyword, author, category, or ID.

Enables AI agents to research U.S. companies and associated people using official state registries and free regulatory datasets, with normalized evidence and optional browser automation.

Enables read-only research into parsed SEC events keyed by CIK and CUSIP, including 8-K items, Form 144, Form D, FTD series, XBRL facts, Form 4 insider trades, and 13F filings.

MCP server for consulting vehicle data from DETRAN TO official source. Read-only, pay-per-use, works with any MCP-compatible client.

Provides free Chinese A-share stock data including real-time quotes, historical K-lines, market scanning, and multi-factor stock screening via BaoStock and Sina Finance APIs.

Enables AI agents to search academic papers, analyze citations and authors, track trending research, and find semantically related work using free scholarly sources.

Enables searching and retrieving academic papers from arXiv by topic, allowing users to discover research papers and extract their metadata including titles, authors, abstracts, and PDF links through natural language queries.

Provides information about animals at the Taipei Zoo, including their habits, habitats, and distribution across various park areas. It enables users to search for specific animals and browse regional guides using data from the Taipei City Open Data platform.

Enables evidence-backed research workflows over real-world entities, allowing users to inspect entity dossiers, re-fetch and verify source claims, admit or withhold attestations, and generate citation packets through remote MCP tools.

Enables querying of a locally pinned snapshot of the Education-to-Workforce Indicator Framework — 99 indicators and 11.8M observations — to browse questions, describe metrics, resolve places, and fetch or rank data across national, state, county, and district levels.

Enables interactive access to JAXA's satellite observation data (precipitation, land surface temperature, NDVI, elevation, soil moisture) via Claude, providing tools for point time series, dataset information, and area image generation.

Provides current weather alerts for specified locations to AI assistants through the Model Context Protocol.
