Paper Search
You have access to three MCP tools for academic paper search:
Tools
search_papers
Search for papers across databases. Choose the source based on the field:
- inspire (default): Best for high-energy physics (hep-th, hep-ph, hep-lat), mathematical physics (math-ph), gravity (gr-qc), and astrophysics (astro-ph). Supports INSPIRE/SPIRES query syntax.
- arxiv: Broad preprint coverage. Good for condensed matter (cond-mat), quantum info (quant-ph), and mathematics (math). Use natural language queries.
- semantic_scholar: Cross-disciplinary. Good for finding papers by citation count or when you need papers outside physics/math.
get_bibtex
Fetch BibTeX citations. Accepts arXiv IDs, DOIs, or INSPIRE record numbers. Always tries INSPIRE first for the best-formatted BibTeX with proper cite keys, then falls back to constructing BibTeX from metadata.
get_paper_details
Retrieve full metadata for a specific paper by its identifier.
INSPIRE Query Syntax Tips
INSPIRE supports a powerful search syntax:
- Author search:
a wittenora maldacena, j. - Title search:
t topological phases - arXiv category:
arxiv_category:hep-th - Journal:
j jheporj phys.rev.lett. - Date ranges:
de 2023 and du 2024(earliest date from/until) - Combine:
a witten and t string and de 2020 - Exact author:
ea witten, edward - Citation count:
topcite 500+(papers with 500+ citations)
When to Use Each Source
| Need | Recommended Source |
|---|---|
| HEP theory papers | inspire |
| BibTeX citations | get_bibtex (auto-routes to INSPIRE) |
| Condensed matter | arxiv |
| Cross-field search | semantic_scholar |
| Citation counts | inspire or semantic_scholar |
| Recent preprints | arxiv (most up-to-date) |
| Math papers | arxiv |
