How do I connect an AI agent to semantic-scholar-mcp?

Install the npm package semantic-scholar-mcp and run it as a local MCP server.

Faceabot

Catalog › io.github.mrfentmen/semantic-scholar-mcp

Is semantic-scholar-mcp reliable?

Not measured yet semantic-scholar-mcp runs locally (installed package), so Faceabot cannot measure it over the network.

En français : Pas encore mesuré. Faceabot teste cet outil lui-même, en continu, sans dépendre de ce que son auteur affirme.

What it does

Or ask Faceabot first: MCP tool check_reliability {"id":"io.github.mrfentmen/semantic-scholar-mcp"} on https://faceabot.com/api/mcp.

Does it actually do the job?

— Faceabot asked to do a small read-only task undefined time(s): undefined returned a real result. Last result: .

Sample input: {}. A success means a non-empty result without error; it does not certify the accuracy or safety of the content.

Faceabot measurements

No measurement yet.

Method: MCP initialize then tools/list from Faceabot (FaceabotProbe/1.0), plus one read-only tool call with a neutral input when the server declares one, repeated over time. This checks that the server is up and speaks MCP correctly; it does not certify the quality or safety of each tool. How measurement works.
