For headless / CI setups, pass the token directly:\n\n```bash\nclaude mcp add --transport http sciweave https://mcp.sciweave.com/mcp \\\n  --header \"Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY\"\n```\n\n### Claude.ai (web)\n\n1. Click your avatar → **Settings** → **Connectors** → **Add custom connector**\n2. **URL:** `https://mcp.sciweave.com/mcp`\n3. **Authorization Token:** paste your SciWeave API key\n4. Click **Save** — start asking research questions in any new chat\n\n### Cursor / Windsurf / Claude Desktop\n\nAdd to your MCP config file (`~/.cursor/mcp.json`, `~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json`, or `claude_desktop_config.json`):\n\n```json\n{\n  \"mcpServers\": {\n    \"sciweave\": {\n      \"type\": \"http\",\n      \"url\": \"https://mcp.sciweave.com/mcp\",\n      \"headers\": {\n        \"Authorization\": \"Bearer YOUR_API_KEY\"\n      }\n    }\n  }\n}\n```\n\n### ChatGPT\n\nAdd `https://mcp.sciweave.com/mcp` as a remote MCP server in your custom GPT or via the OpenAI Apps SDK, with the `Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY` header.\n\n> **No API key yet?** Get one free at **[mcp.sciweave.com](https://mcp.sciweave.com)** — new accounts include 50 free credits.\n\n---\n\n## What you get\n\n- **Real citations, not hallucinations.** Every claim returns a verifiable DOI you can click.\n- **300M+ scientific works.** The world's largest open research index.\n- **Multi-session research.** Resume threads from yesterday, last week, or last month — every saved citation stays verifiable.\n\n## Tools\n\n| Tool | Description |\n|------|-------------|\n| `ask_research_question` | AI answer with inline citations grounded in SciWeave's index. Supports `min_year` / `max_year` filters. |\n| `find_references` | Fast paper lookup (~1s). Returns title, authors, year, DOI, URL, abstract snippet. No AI synthesis. |\n| `find_open_access_link` | Find where a paper can be read, by DOI or link — often a repository or preprint copy of a paywalled paper. |\n| `get_research_thread` | Resume a prior research conversation by `thread_id` (returned by `ask_research_question`). |\n| `list_collections` | List your saved paper collections. |\n| `get_collection_papers` | Get papers in a specific collection with full metadata. |\n| `get_account_status` | Check credit balance and account info. |\n\nAll tools are read-only. Every returned paper includes title, authors, publication year, DOI, URL, and abstract snippet.\n\n---\n\n## Examples\n\n### Ask a research question\n\n> **Prompt:** \"What are the latest findings on CRISPR-Cas9 off-target effects in mammalian cells?\"\n\nThe `ask_research_question` tool queries SciWeave's index and returns a synthesized answer with numbered citations including authors, journals, DOIs, and publication years.\n\n```\nCRISPR-Cas9 off-target effects in mammalian cells involve several mechanisms...\n\nReferences (8 sources, 142 total found):\n[1] Zhang et al. \"Genome-wide off-target analysis...\" Nature Methods, 2023\n[2] Kim et al. \"High-fidelity Cas9 variants...\" Science, 2024\n...\n```\n\n### Browse a research collection\n\n> **Prompt:** \"Show me all papers in my Quantum Computing collection\"\n\nClaude first calls `list_collections` to find your collections, then `get_collection_papers` with the matching ID.\n\n```\nFound 3 research collection(s):\n- Quantum Computing (ID: abc123) — 12 papers\n- Machine Learning (ID: def456) — 8 papers\n\n12 paper(s) in this collection:\n1. Quantum Error Correction with Surface Codes\n   Authors: Fowler et al. · Year: 2024 · Journal: Physical Review Letters · DOI: 10.1103/...\n```\n\n### Fast reference lookup\n\n> **Prompt:** \"Find me 5 recent references about mRNA vaccine stability and storage\"\n\n`find_references` is citation-only (no AI synthesis), so results return in ~1 second.\n\n```\nReferences (5 papers in 1.2s):\n[1] Schoenmaker et al. \"mRNA-lipid nanoparticle COVID-19 vaccines: Structure and stability\"\n    Year: 2023 · DOI: 10.1016/j.ijpharm.2023.01.015\n    Snippet: \"Storage temperature significantly impacts mRNA integrity...\"\n```\n\n### Find where a paper can be read\n\n> **Prompt:** \"Where can I read https://www.nature.com/articles/nature12373?\"\n\n`find_open_access_link` resolves the open-access copy and returns links — nothing is downloaded, so your client fetches the paper itself. arXiv, bioRxiv/medRxiv and PubMed Central links map straight to their full-text source; anything else is resolved through its DOI (given, taken from the URL, or read from the page's own `citation_doi` tag) via OpenAlex, which often turns up a repository or preprint copy of a paywalled paper.\n\n```\nNanometre-scale thermometry in a living cell\nAuthors: Georg Kucsko, Peter C. Maurer, ... · Year: 2013 · Journal: Nature\nDOI: 10.1038/nature12373 · Open access: green\n\nBest link: https://arxiv.org/pdf/1304.1068\n  (OA PDF (arXiv), likely PDF)\n\nAlternatives:\n- https://www.ebi.ac.uk/europepmc/webservices/rest/PMC4221854/fullTextXML\n  (OA landing page (PubMed Central) → Europe PMC full-text XML)\n```\n\nPapers with no open-access copy are reported as such, with the publisher page as a fallback, rather than a link that won't work.\n\n### Check account status\n\n> **Prompt:** \"How many SciWeave credits do I have left?\"\n\n```\nSciWeave Account Status\nCredits remaining: 42\nManage your account: https://sciweave.com/settings?tab=api-access\nView pricing: https://sciweave.com/pricing\n```\n\n---\n\n## Authentication\n\nSciWeave supports two auth modes against the same `https://mcp.sciweave.com/mcp` endpoint:\n\n- **OAuth 2.0 authorization code flow** (default for Claude.ai and `claude mcp add` without headers). Claude opens the SciWeave authorization page, you paste your `sciweave_live_` API key, and the server hands back an OAuth access token tied to your account.\n- **Direct Bearer token** (Cursor / Windsurf / Claude Desktop / CI). Send `Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY` directly. No browser flow.\n\nAll tools are read-only — the server cannot write to your collections or modify your account. API keys can be rotated at any time at [sciweave.com/settings?tab=api-access](https://sciweave.com/settings?tab=api-access).\n\n---\n\n## Support\n\n- **Email:** support@sciweave.com\n- **Documentation:** [sciweave.com/docs](https://sciweave.com/docs)\n- **Issues:** [github.com/desci-labs/sciweave-mcp-issues](https://github.com/desci-labs/sciweave-mcp-issues)\n- **Privacy Policy:** [sciweave.com/web/privacy-policy](https://sciweave.com/web/privacy-policy)\n",
