Eth Library Mcp
Query ETH Library Discovery and Persons APIs from your agent while researching people, publications, and library holdings for academic or product research.
Overview
io.github.malkreide/eth-library-mcp is a MCP server for the Idea phase that exposes ETH Library Discovery and Persons APIs to your agent for structured research lookups.
What is this MCP server?
- ETH Library Discovery API wired for agent-driven catalog and resource lookup
- Persons API for resolving and enriching researcher or author identities
- Stdio MCP transport with PyPI install via uvx (eth-library-mcp 0.3.3)
- Publisher scope: core; registry category Education & Research
- GitHub source: malkreide/eth-library-mcp for config and updates
- Package version 0.3.3 on PyPI identifier eth-library-mcp
- Transport: stdio; runtime hint: uvx
- Registry publisher scope: core; category Education & Research
Community signal: 1 GitHub stars.
What problem does it solve?
Agents cannot query ETH Library discovery and person records unless you manually search the web or glue together one-off API scripts.
Who is it for?
Indie researchers, student founders, or devs validating a technical idea who need ETH-linked library and person metadata inside their agent workflow.
Skip if: Teams that need a GUI reference manager, non-ETH catalogs, or production scraping at scale without official API coverage.
What do I get? / Deliverables
After you register the server, your agent can run Discovery and Persons API calls inside the chat and fold results into notes, specs, or bibliographies.
- Configured stdio MCP server entry for ETH Library tools
- Agent-callable Discovery and Persons API results in session context
Recommended MCP Servers
Journey fit
Canonical shelf is Idea because the server exposes discovery and person-metadata APIs meant for early research before you commit to a build direction. Research is the best fit: agents call library discovery and persons endpoints to gather structured bibliographic and identity data, not to ship production features.
How it compares
MCP integration to ETH Library APIs, not a Zotero skill or generic web-search plugin.
Common Questions / FAQ
Who is eth-library-mcp for?
Solo builders and researchers using Claude Code, Cursor, or Codex who want ETH Library Discovery and Persons data during early research.
When should I use eth-library-mcp?
Use it in the Idea phase when you are gathering sources, authors, or library holdings tied to ETH APIs before you scope or build product features.
How do I add eth-library-mcp to my agent?
Add an MCP server entry pointing at uvx with the PyPI identifier eth-library-mcp (version 0.3.3), stdio transport, then restart your client.
