  "markdown": "# PubScope MCP Server\n\nConnect your AI assistant to **[PubScope](https://pubscope.org)** — free journal intelligence for researchers. This remote [MCP (Model Context Protocol)](https://modelcontextprotocol.io) server gives Claude, Cursor, VS Code and any MCP-compatible client live access to **46,000+ verified academic journals**: trust scores, SJR quartiles, indexing status (Scopus / Web of Science / DOAJ), APCs, and reference verification — instead of guessing from training data.\n\n```\nEndpoint:  https://pubscope.org/api/mcp\nTransport: Streamable HTTP\nAuth:      none — no API key required\nCost:      free (fair-use rate limits)\n```\n\nFull setup guide: **[pubscope.org/mcp](https://pubscope.org/mcp)**\n\n## Tools\n\n| Tool | Arguments | What it does |\n|---|---|---|\n| `search_journals` | `query`, `quartile?`, `open_access_only?`, `max_results?` | Search 46,000+ journals by title, ISSN or topic. Returns trust score, SJR quartile, indexing (Scopus / WoS / DOAJ), open-access status and APC. |\n| `get_journal` | `issn` | Full profile of one journal — trust score breakdown, indexing credentials, publisher, quartile, APC and integrity flags. |\n| `compare_journals` | `issns` (2–4) | Side-by-side comparison of 2–4 journals on trust, quartile, indexing and cost. |\n| `check_citations` | `references` | Verify a pasted reference list against Crossref, OpenAlex and the Retraction Watch database — flags fabricated, unresolvable and retracted references. |\n\n## Setup\n\n### Claude (web & desktop)\n\nSettings → **Connectors** → **Add custom connector** → paste the endpoint URL. No authentication — leave the OAuth fields empty.\n\n```\nhttps://pubscope.org/api/mcp\n```\n\n### Claude Code (CLI)\n\n```bash\nclaude mcp add --transport http pubscope https://pubscope.org/api/mcp\n```\n\n### Cursor\n\nSettings → **MCP** → **Add new MCP server**, or add to `~/.cursor/mcp.json`:\n\n```json\n{\n  \"mcpServers\": {\n    \"pubscope\": {\n      \"url\": \"https://pubscope.org/api/mcp\"\n    }\n  }\n}\n```\n\n### VS Code (GitHub Copilot)\n\n```bash\ncode --add-mcp '{\"name\":\"pubscope\",\"type\":\"http\",\"url\":\"https://pubscope.org/api/mcp\"}'\n```\n\n### Any other MCP client (stdio bridge)\n\nClients that only speak stdio can bridge to the remote server with [`mcp-remote`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/mcp-remote):\n\n```json\n{\n  \"mcpServers\": {\n    \"pubscope\": {\n      \"command\": \"npx\",\n      \"args\": [\"-y\", \"mcp-remote\", \"https://pubscope.org/api/mcp\"]\n    }\n  }\n}\n```\n\n## Things to try\n\n- *\"Find Q1 open-access journals on medical image segmentation and compare the top three.\"*\n- *\"Is Medical Image Analysis indexed in Web of Science? What's its trust score?\"*\n- *\"Here's my reference list — check every citation for fabrication and retractions.\"*\n- *\"Compare 1361-8415 and 1533-7928 on cost and indexing.\"*\n\n## Data & integrity\n\nEvery fact the server returns comes from verifiable third-party sources — Scimago (SJR), DOAJ, Web of Science membership records, OpenAlex, Crossref and the Retraction Watch database. Nothing is fabricated, and absence from an index is never presented as a risk verdict. Methodology: [pubscope.org/methodology](https://pubscope.org/methodology).\n\n## Fair use\n\nThe server is free and unauthenticated, with per-IP rate limits to keep it available for everyone. For higher-volume or commercial access, [get in touch](https://pubscope.org/contact).\n\n## About\n\nPubScope is a free academic journal intelligence platform: journal verification, AI-powered journal finding, manuscript review-readiness scanning and citation checking.
