ArXiv Paper MCP

A paper search and content parsing tool based on arXiv. Supports the Model Context Protocol (MCP) standard, providing functions for paper search, PDF link acquisition, and content parsing.

Features

  • 🔍 Intelligent arXiv Paper Search: Keyword-based search to quickly locate the papers you care about
  • 🔗 Get PDF Download Links: Obtain direct PDF download links for arXiv papers
  • 📄 Paper Content Parsing: Smartly parse paper content, with preference given to HTML versions, falling back to PDF
  • 🆕 Latest AI Papers: Get a list of the latest updated AI papers on arXiv today

Installation and Usage

NPX Method (Recommended)

bash npx @langgpt/arxiv-paper-mcp

Global Installation

bash npm install -g @langgpt/arxiv-paper-mcp arxiv-paper-mcp

MCP Client Configuration

Claude Desktop Configuration

Add the following to the Claude Desktop configuration file:

json { "mcpServers": { "arxiv-paper-mcp": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@langgpt/arxiv-paper-mcp@latest"] } } }
