remote mcp_server
The hosted, remote Scholar Sidekick MCP server - connect over Streamable HTTP at `https://scholar-sidekick.com/api/mcp`. No npm install, no local process: point any MCP client at the URL and go. (Prefer to run it locally? Use the `scholar-sidekick/scholar-sidekick-mcp` npx package instead - same tools.) Works anonymously out of the box on a rate-limited free tier. Add a free first-party `ssk_` key (from scholar-sidekick.com/account) as a bearer token to raise limits and unlock the verifier's LLM screen. Turns scholarly identifiers into clean citations, bibliography files, and trust signals - all server-side, so your client stays light: - resolveIdentifier - DOI, PMID, PMCID, ISBN, arXiv, ISSN, NASA ADS bibcode, or WHO IRIS URL → structured CSL-JSON metadata - formatCitation - any of 10,000+ CSL styles (Vancouver, APA, AMA, IEEE, Nature, BMJ, Lancet...) as text, HTML, or JSON - exportCitation - BibTeX, RIS, CSL JSON, EndNote, RefWorks, MEDLINE/NBIB, Zotero RDF, CSV, or plain text - checkRetraction - retraction / correction / expression-of-concern status (Crossref + Retraction Watch) - checkOpenAccess - OA status and best legal full-text version (Unpaywall) - verifyCitation - catches the dominant AI fabrication pattern (real DOI + invented title) documented by Topaz et al., Lancet 2026 Same API that powers scholar-sidekick.com and the REST API - deterministic, provenance-headed, and free to start.
