About
MCP server that provides Semantic Scholar academic search capabilities, including paper search, detail query, citation analysis, author search, and intelligent recommendations.
README
一个 MCP (Model Context Protocol) 服务器,提供 Semantic Scholar 学术搜索功能。
功能特性
- 论文搜索、详情查询、引用分析
- 作者搜索和学术档案查询
- 基于论文的智能推荐
- 支持多种论文 ID 格式 (DOI, ArXiv, PMID 等)
- 内置速率限制和自动重试机制
快速开始
在 Claude Desktop 中使用
编辑配置文件:
- macOS:
~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json - Windows:
%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json
{
"mcpServers": {
"semanticscholar": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@xbghc/semanticscholar-mcp"],
"env": {
"SEMANTIC_SCHOLAR_API_KEY": "your-api-key"
}
}
}
}
配置 API Key (可选)
Semantic Scholar API 可以无需认证使用,但有速率限制。申请 API Key 可获得更高的请求配额。
- 访问 Semantic Scholar API 申请 API Key
- 在配置中设置
SEMANTIC_SCHOLAR_API_KEY环境变量

速率限制
| 模式 | 请求间隔 |
|---|---|
| 有 API Key | 2 秒 |
| 无 API Key | 5 秒 |
遇到 429 错误时会自动指数退避重试 (1s → 2s → 4s → 8s → 16s)。
