- Fetch structured, AI-friendly paper overviews from alphaXiv. Use when user provides an arXiv URL, paper title, or asks to explain/summarize a research paper. Much better than reading raw PDFs - returns structured data that AI can understand well.
alphaXiv Paper Lookup
Use the alphaXiv MCP server tools to fetch structured research paper data. This is superior to reading raw PDFs because alphaXiv returns structured, AI-friendly data.
When to Use
- User provides an arXiv URL (e.g.,
https://arxiv.org/abs/XXXX.XXXXX) - User asks to explain, summarize, or analyze a research paper
- User wants to find trending papers or search by topic/organization
- User asks about recent research in a field
Available MCP Tools
The alphaXiv MCP server (alphaxiv) provides these tools:
- search_for_paper_by_title - Find papers by title (exact or partial match)
- find_organizations - Search for canonical organization names
- find_papers_feed - Discover trending/popular papers by topic, org, time range
- answer_pdf_queries - Ask questions about a specific paper given its URL
- read_files_from_github_repository - Read code from a paper's GitHub repo
- answer_research_query - Synthesize answers from multiple recent papers
Workflow
For a specific paper URL:
- Use
answer_pdf_querieswith the URL and a query like "Provide a comprehensive overview of this paper including: title, authors, key contributions, methodology, results, and conclusions" - If the paper has a GitHub repo, use
read_files_from_github_repositoryto explore the code
For finding papers:
- Use
search_for_paper_by_titlefor known papers - Use
find_papers_feedfor discovering papers by topic/trend - Use
find_organizationsfirst if filtering by organization
For research questions:
- Use
answer_research_queryfor broad questions requiring synthesis from multiple papers - Follow up with
answer_pdf_querieson specific papers of interest
Output Format
Present paper information in a clean, structured format:
- Title and authors
- Key contributions (bullet points)
- Methodology summary
- Main results and findings
- Code availability (GitHub link if available)
- Related topics and categories
Notes
- The MCP server uses OAuth 2.0 authentication via SSE transport
- Endpoint:
https://api.alphaxiv.org/mcp/v1 - Supports arXiv, alphaXiv, Semantic Scholar URLs, and direct PDF URLs
