Semantic Scholar MCP
noesynth · MCP server
Connects your AI assistant to the Semantic Scholar Academic Graph API. Your agent can fetch full metadata for a paper, list its references and incoming citations with context and intent, get recommendations from positive and negative seed papers, and look up an author's profile and papers. It suits anyone exploring academic literature with an assistant. A Semantic Scholar API key is optional and gives higher rate limits.
Written by ooruby from the README of @noesynth/semantic-scholar-mcp 1.0.0.

Why it's useful
Your assistant can answer literature questions from Semantic Scholar's paper, citation and author records.
What you could do with it
- Trace the papers that cite a given paper, with the citation context and intent, starting from its DOI.
- Give your agent some liked and disliked seed papers and ask it for recommended papers.
- Look up an author's affiliations, h-index and paper and citation counts, then list all of their papers.
Written from its documentation: what it says it can do, not what our checks found.
Maintenance
Not measuredNo release date is on record for this package yet. The nightly publisher check records one as it reaches each npm package, about once every ten nights.
Release activity only: it says nothing about quality or safety, and a finished small package can be fine without releases. How it is measured
- Data handling disclosed
- finding
- no statement of what it reads, writes or sends (README.md)
Published because it was found. A finding is information about where the limits are, not a verdict that the software is unsafe.
What this does not cover
- Everything. Treat it as you would software from anywhere else.
Receipt history: every signed receipt for every version of this listing, and what changed between them.

How far this has been checked
Static scanned
- What it establishes
- Its published package, or for a hosted server its source repository at a recorded commit, was read file by file, without running it, by every check in our current scan.
- What it does not
- How it behaves when it runs, or anything the scan does not read yet: several rubric checks, the repository's history, and compiled code in folders named dist or build. For a hosted server, that the endpoint runs the code that was read. The ooruby Index sets out exactly what was read.
- Exactly what was read
- Version 1.0.0, the file with digest sha512-lnTOuu13gyr4/JPnIo2sC5HlXLILyE0QdQZPYnunsaOZDcyplleddDV4tHp3sTclRrrMZMSjA6PgzQbERQs1Sg==, as the registry publishes it. A published version cannot be replaced, so this names the same bytes for anyone who checks.
- Authentication
- Runs locally. No hosted endpoint is listed for this package. You run it on your own machine, so there is no endpoint of ours to authenticate against.

No build provenance published. The repository above is the one the publisher declared, and nothing links it to the package you would install. That is not a mark against this listing, since most packages are published this way, but it is a check nobody can run.
The badge, if this is your listing
It renders the current rung (static scanned) and links back here, where what that does and does not establish is one click away. It updates itself as the evidence deepens.
