MCP SERVER Listed

andybrandt/mcp-simple-arxiv

The mcp-simple-arxiv tool bridges the gap between LLMs and the latest academic research by providing a standardized interface to the arXiv API. Instead of relying on the model's static training data, developers can enable their agents to programmatically search for pre-prints and retrieve full-text content in real-time. This is particularly useful for building RAG pipelines focused on STEM fields or creating research assistants that need to cite current literature. Integration is straightforward via the Model Context Protocol, allowing the LLM to autonomously decide when to query the archive based on user prompts, effectively turning the model into a dynamic research tool rather than a closed knowledge base.
