What the Paperguide MCP unlocks

Four things your assistant can do once connected

Search 200M+ papers

Ask in plain language. Your assistant turns the question into a real search across peer-reviewed papers and preprints.

Build a search strategy

Run several angles in one sitting — narrow by year, citation count, open access or journal quartile, and compare what each returns.

Draft with citations you can open

Reading lists, summaries and literature-review sections where every claim links to the paper behind it.

Carry findings into Paperguide

Save anything worth keeping to your library, then take it into a systematic review or data extraction.
