About paper-fetcher

paper-fetcher An MCP server and CLI tool for fetching academic paper full texts. Designed to work as a Claude Code MCP tool, enabling AI-assisted literature review and research workflows. How It Works paper-fetcher uses a three-layer strategy to maximize access to full-text papers: For each paper request, it tries Open Access sources first. If the paper is paywalled, it falls back to your institution's EZproxy. Metadata and search are always available via Semantic Scholar.
