Semantic Scholar API MCP server

Made with FastMCP

Requirements: pip install fastmcp aiohttp pydantic uvicorn

Run fastmcp dev path/to/semantic-scholar-plugin.py to initialize the server.

Run fastmcp install path/to/semantic-scholar-plugin.py to install to claude or add following to claude/cline config:

"semantic-scholar": {
      "command": "uv",
      "args": [
        "run",
        "--with",
        "fastmcp",
        "fastmcp",
        "run",
        "\path\to\semantic-scholar-plugin.py"
      ]
    }

If you see things like INFO Processing request of type __init__.py:431 ListToolsRequest in cline, you can ignore them as this will not affect it from working, this is due to current incomplete impliementation of the function discription and listing support.
