Literature review for a solo builder means brittle copy-paste across ArXiv and Scholar without citation counts wired into the agent context.
Who is it for?
Indie builders researching technical feasibility, competitive science, or AI feature ideas inside Claude Code or Cursor.
Skip if: Teams that need full-text PDF management, institutional proxy access, or compliance-grade systematic review workflows.
What do I get? / Deliverables
Your coding agent can fetch preprints, Scholar matches, and citation signals in structured responses you can cite in validation notes or specs.

Recommended MCP Servers
Journey fit
Canonical shelf is Idea because builders reach for papers and citation signal before they commit scope or start implementation. Research is where unified academic search replaces tab-hopping between arXiv, Scholar, and manual citation copying.
How it compares
MCP research connector backed by Apify, not a standalone Zotero skill or browser-only Scholar workflow.
