  "markdown": "# Google Scholar MCP Server\n\n> Search Google Scholar for academic papers, citations, and author profiles.\n\nThis is a remote MCP server that lets Claude, Cursor, ChatGPT, or any MCP client query Google Scholar directly as a tool call.  Review the documentation [here](https://apify.com/johnvc/google-scholar-api?fpr=9n7kx3).\n\n## Login\n\nYou'll need an Apify API token to login. A free Apify account works. Get yours at [console.apify.com/account#/integrations](https://console.apify.com/account#/integrations?fpr=9n7kx3).\n\n## Install in Claude Desktop\n\nClaude Desktop currently requires a stdio bridge for remote MCP servers. Add this to your `~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json`:\n\n```json\n{\n  \"mcpServers\": {\n    \"google-scholar\": {\n      \"command\": \"npx\",\n      \"args\": [\n        \"mcp-remote\",\n        \"https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=johnvc/google-scholar-api\",\n        \"--header\",\n        \"Authorization: Bearer <YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>\"\n      ]\n    }\n  }\n}\n```\n\nReplace `<YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>` with your token. Restart Claude Desktop.\n\n## Install in Cursor\n\nCursor supports remote MCP servers natively. Two ways to connect:\n\n### Option A: OAuth (recommended, no token needed)\n\nAdd this to your `.cursor/mcp.json`:\n\n```json\n{\n  \"mcpServers\": {\n    \"google-scholar\": {\n      \"url\": \"https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=johnvc/google-scholar-api\"\n    }\n  }\n}\n```\n\nThe first connection opens a browser to sign in to Apify.\n\n### Option B: Bearer token\n\n```json\n{\n  \"mcpServers\": {\n    \"google-scholar\": {\n      \"url\": \"https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=johnvc/google-scholar-api\",\n      \"headers\": {\n        \"Authorization\": \"Bearer <YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>\"\n      }\n    }\n  }\n}\n```\n\n## What it does\n\nThis MCP server lets Claude search Google Scholar for academic papers, retrieve citation counts, fetch author profiles, and pull abstracts. Useful for literature reviews, citation tracking, prior-art research, and \"what's been written about X?\" queries. Returns structured JSON with paper title, authors, citation count, abstract, PDF link, and publication year.\n\nExample queries to try in Claude:\n\n- \"Find the 10 most-cited papers on transformer architecture published since 2023\"\n- \"Get the author profile and h-index for Yoshua Bengio\"\n- \"Search Google Scholar for recent papers on RAG retrieval performance\"\n\n## Built by\n\n[johnvc on Apify](https://apify.com/johnvc?fpr=9n7kx3) | [Sign up for a free Apify account](https://apify.com/?fpr=9n7kx3).\n\n## License\n\nMIT\n",
