Science Ai Server

Model Context Protocol server for Science AI Journal tools. Use Pre-Check, AI Review, Research Gaps, Journal Recommender, Duplicate Publication Checker, and the Article Writer from inside Claude Desktop, Cursor, Cline, or any MCP-enabled client — without leaving your assistant.

Quick start (≈ 2 minutes)

1. Generate an API key at https://scienceaijournal.com/settings?section=api-keys (free account required). Copy the saij_… token — you only see it once.

2. Add this block to your Claude Desktop config file:

   {
     "mcpServers": {
       "science-ai-journal": {
         "command": "npx",
         "args": ["-y", "science-ai-mcp-server"],
         "env": {
           "SCIENCE_AI_API_KEY": "saij_…paste your key…"
         }
       }
     }
   }
   

   Config file locations:

   • macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
   • Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json
   • Linux: ~/.config/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

3. Restart Claude Desktop. The science-ai-journal server appears in the 🔌 tool list.

The same config works in Cursor (~/.cursor/mcp.json), Cline (via the VS Code extension panel), and Continue (anywhere that supports an mcpServers object).

Tools

Configuration

Troubleshooting

• Tools don't appear after editing config: fully quit the host app (not just close the window) and reopen.
• 401 unauthorized when calling a tool: the key was wrong, revoked, or expired. Mint a fresh one at Settings → API Keys.
• 429 rate limit on find_research_gaps: you hit the 10-per-hour IP quota. Wait an hour.
• npx can't resolve the package: ensure Node ≥ 20 and that your npm registry isn't set to a private mirror without this package yet (npm config set registry https://registry.npmjs.org/).
