# Scopus MCP Server
An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for searching [Scopus](https://www.scopus.com/), Elsevier's abstract and citation database covering 90M+ records across science, technology, medicine, social sciences, and arts & humanities.
Built with [FastMCP](https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/python-sdk).
## Tools
| Tool | Description |
|------|-------------|
| `scopus_search` | Search by keyword, title, author, affiliation, DOI, or advanced query |
| `scopus_abstract` | Retrieve full abstract and metadata for a specific record |
| `scopus_author` | Look up author profiles (h-index, document count, subject areas) |
| `scopus_author_papers` | List an author's publications |
| `scopus_export_ris` | Export results as RIS (for Zotero, EndNote, etc.) |
| `scopus_export_bibtex` | Export results as BibTeX |
## Setup
### 1. Get a Scopus API key
You need a Scopus API key from the [Elsevier Developer Portal](https://dev.elsevier.com/). Institutional access (e.g., through a university) is typically required for full functionality.
### 2. Install
```bash
cd scopus-mcp-server
python3 -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt
```
### 3. Add to Claude Desktop
Add this to your `claude_desktop_config.json`:
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"scopus": {
"command": "/path/to/scopus-mcp-server/venv/bin/python",
"args": ["/path/to/scopus-mcp-server/server.py"],
"env": {
"SCOPUS_API_KEY": "your-api-key"
}
}
}
}
```
Or if using Claude Code CLI:
```bash
claude mcp add scopus \
/path/to/scopus-mcp-server/venv/bin/python \
/path/to/scopus-mcp-server/server.py \
-e SCOPUS_API_KEY=your-api-key
```
## Usage examples
- "Search Scopus for recent articles on deep learning in medical imaging"
- "Look up the author profile for Smith at Northwestern University"
- "Get the abstract for Scopus ID 85142567890"
- "Find this author's papers and export them as BibTeX"
