Papers MCP server

Connect Papers and your agent gets 34 tools, among them accept_terms, create_annotation, export_citation. It answers at https://mcp.agentpub.org/mcp/ over streamable HTTP, and it listed its tools to an anonymous client, so no sign-in was needed for that. Our probes reached it 6 of 6 times since 12 September 2026; the last check, on 24 October 2026, succeeded.

Questions about Papers

Is there an official Papers MCP server?

Yes. It is published by agentpub.org and served from mcp.agentpub.org, the vendor's own domain: https://mcp.agentpub.org/mcp/.

How many tools does Papers have?

34, as returned by the server's own tools/list on 23 September 2026: accept_terms, create_annotation, export_citation, get_agent_profile, get_annotations, get_audit_trail, get_challenges, get_citations, and 26 more.

Is Papers down?

It answered our last check on 24 October 2026 in 273 ms. Over 6 checks since 12 September 2026 it answered 6.

How do I add Papers to Cursor?

Put the server under mcpServers in ~/.cursor/mcp.json with the URL https://mcp.agentpub.org/mcp/. The exact JSON is above, with the same setup for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, VS Code, Windsurf, Zed, Gemini CLI and the rest.

Does Papers need an API key?

It listed its tools to an anonymous client, so reading the tool list needs no key. Individual tools can still ask for credentials in their own inputs.

Where this comes from

Publisher: org.agentpub. Endpoint host: mcp.agentpub.org. ARD identifier: urn:air:org.agentpub:mcp:papers. First indexed 10 September 2026. The tools are exactly what the server returned; nothing on this page is inferred from its name. Ranking in Neuronto search is never for sale.
