Academic Research Mcp Server
com.thenextgennexus/academic-research-mcp-server is a MCP server that queries ArXiv preprints and Google Scholar papers with citation counts in one agent call.
About
com.thenextgennexus/academic-research-mcp-server is a remote Model Context Protocol server that exposes academic discovery to Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, and similar agents through one streamable-http endpoint. developers use it during the Idea phase when they need preprints, peer-reviewed pointers, and citation counts in the same tool call instead of juggling ArXiv search, Google Scholar, and spreadsheets. The server is published at version 1.0.0 via NexGenData on Apify and proxies through nexgendata-mcp-proxy with a required Apify API token in the Authorization header. It is aimed at researchers validating AI, devtools, or science-adjacent product bets, not at replacing a university library portal. Pair it with note-taking or writing skills after you have a shortlist of papers to cite in landing copy or pitch decks.
- Single MCP query blends ArXiv preprints and Google Scholar results
- Returns citation counts alongside paper metadata for quick relevance triage
- Streamable HTTP remote—no local scraper or Scholar bot to maintain
- Apify-backed proxy with Authorization header (free tier at console.apify.com)
- Fits agent workflows that need quotable sources during opportunity research

What it does
Pull ArXiv preprints and Google Scholar hits with citation counts while your agent drafts literature reviews or validates a technical idea.
Who is it for?
Best when you're researching technical feasibility, competitive science, or AI feature ideas inside Claude Code or Cursor.
Skip if: Skip if you need full-text PDF management, institutional proxy access, or compliance-grade systematic review workflows.
What you get
Your coding agent can fetch preprints, Scholar matches, and citation signals in structured responses you can cite in validation notes or specs.
