Tools as reported by the server

• scholarfetch_search
  Start a research traversal from keywords, a DOI, or a person name. Returns deduplicated paper records that you can inspect, save, expand through references, or use as seeds for author exploration. If you pass `engines`, use a comma-separated subset of: elsevier, openalex, crossref, arxiv, europepmc,
• scholarfetch_doi_lookup
  Enrich one known DOI with metadata, reading links, and full-text availability signals. If you pass `engines`, use a comma-separated subset of: elsevier, openalex, crossref, arxiv, europepmc, springer, semanticscholar.
• scholarfetch_author_candidates
  Disambiguate a human author name into ranked identity candidates. Use this before `scholarfetch_author_papers` when the name is ambiguous and you need a stable `candidate_index`. If you pass `engines`, it must include `openalex`.
• scholarfetch_author_papers
  Expand one author into a deduplicated paper list. This is the main author->paper traversal tool and supports research filters. Use `author_id` when you already know the exact author, or `author_name` plus `candidate_index` after `scholarfetch_author_candidates`. Supported comma-separated `filters`:
• scholarfetch_abstract
  Read the best abstract available for a paper. Use with a DOI or with author_name + candidate_index + paper_index after author_papers. If you pass `engines`, use a comma-separated subset of: elsevier, openalex, crossref, arxiv, europepmc, springer, semanticscholar.
• scholarfetch_article_text
  Read full paper text when machine-readable content is recoverable. Use with a DOI or with author_name + candidate_index + paper_index. Uses Elsevier first, then open-access fallbacks such as Springer OA, Europe PMC, arXiv PDF, and generic PDF URLs when text is recoverable. If you pass `engines`, use
• scholarfetch_references
  Expand a paper into its references. Use with a DOI or with author_name + candidate_index + paper_index. This is the main edge-expansion tool for traversing the literature graph. If you pass `engines`, use a comma-separated subset of: elsevier, openalex, crossref, arxiv, europepmc, springer, semantic
• scholarfetch_saved_add
  Add one paper to a named in-memory reading list on the MCP server. Best input is paper_json copied from another ScholarFetch tool result, but DOI, query+result_index, or author_name+candidate_index+paper_index also work. Reuse the same collection name across calls to keep one research session togeth
• scholarfetch_saved_list
  List all papers currently saved in a named in-memory reading list. Use this to inspect the working set before exporting or removing items.
• scholarfetch_saved_remove
  Remove one paper from a named in-memory reading list by DOI or exact title.
• scholarfetch_saved_clear
  Clear all papers from a named in-memory reading list. Useful when restarting a research branch.
• scholarfetch_saved_export
  Export the current reading list as citations, abstracts, BibTeX, or an aggregated full-text corpus. Valid `format` values: citations, abstracts, bib, fulltext. Valid `style` values when `format=citations`: harvard, apa, ieee. Use `include_references=true` with `format=fulltext` when you want a riche
