Server tool list (9)
Raw names from tools/list. Only developers need these.
| search_papers | Search 8.5 million academic papers (arXiv + biomedical: PMC / bioRxiv / medRxiv, all disciplines) by topic, keyword, author, or linked entity (gene / protein / disease). Each hit returns id, title, TLDR, type, and links. Use to find papers about a topic, e.g. 'transformer efficiency' or 'CRISPR base editing'. |
| get_paper | Fetch a paper's full metadata: title, authors, year, abstract, TLDR (LLM-generated), key findings, citation count, GitHub repos, HuggingFace models/datasets, videos, peer reviews, and links. Accepts an arXiv ID (e.g. '2401.12345' or '1706.03762v5') or an OpenAlex Work ID (e.g. 'W4390723197'). Use when the user names a specific paper or pastes an arXiv link. |
| similar_papers | Find papers semantically similar to a given paper using SPECTER2 embeddings (trained on scientific-citation triplets). Returns nearest neighbors with TLDR. Use when the user wants 'papers like X' or 'what's adjacent to this work'. |
| citations | Get papers that cite the given paper (who refers to this work). Use when the user asks 'who cites X', 'what's the impact', or wants follow-up work. Note: 2024+ citation coverage is sparse; indexing in progress. |
| references | Get the papers that this paper cites (its bibliography). Use when the user asks 'what does X cite' or 'show me the references'. |
| get_full_text | Fetch a paper's full body text as Markdown (methods, results, protocols, inline tables) — use for deep questions the abstract can't answer. Accepts an arXiv ID (2401.12345), a PMC ID (PMC5339222), or a bioRxiv/medRxiv DOI (10.1101/…). |
| get_figures | Get a paper's real figure images — URLs, labels, and captions. Most biomedical papers have figures; arXiv papers often don't. Accepts an arXiv ID, PMC ID, or bioRxiv/medRxiv DOI. |
| get_entities | Get the biomedical entities linked to a paper: genes, proteins, chemicals, diseases, species, mutations, cell lines, and clinical-trial (NCT) IDs. Accepts an arXiv ID, PMC ID, or bioRxiv/medRxiv DOI. |
| get_structure | Resolve a gene/protein name (e.g. 'TP53', 'CD44') or UniProt accession to its 3D structure — returns the UniProt accession + AlphaFold model URL (and PDB when available). Great for a gene named in a paper's entities. |
