About

Scholar Sidekick MCP resolves scholarly identifiers - DOI, PMID, PMCID, ISBN, arXiv, ISSN, ADS, WHO IRIS - into full citations and exports, checks whether a paper is retracted or open access, and verifies references. It works anonymously and supports an optional API key for higher limits. A solo builder or researcher uses it to let an agent pull and validate academic sources without manual lookups.
