+# Academic Research MCP Server
+
+Search arXiv, Google Scholar, and Wikipedia for academic papers and knowledge — powered by [nexgendata](https://apify.com/nexgendata) on Apify.
+
+## Quick Start
+
+### Using npx (recommended)
+
+```bash
+npx @nexgendata/academic-research-mcp-server
+```
+
+### Install globally
+
+```bash
+npm install -g @nexgendata/academic-research-mcp-server
+```
+
+## Configure with Claude Desktop
+
+Add to your Claude Desktop config (`~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json` on macOS):
+
+```json
+{
+      "mcpServers": {
+            "academic-research-mcp-server": {
+                  "command": "npx",
+                  "args": [
+                        "-y",
+                        "@nexgendata/academic-research-mcp-server"
+                  ],
+                  "env": {
+                        "APIFY_TOKEN": "your-apify-token-optional"
+                  }
+            }
+      }
+}
+```
+
+## Configure with Cline
+
+Add the same configuration to your Cline MCP settings.
+
+## Available Tools
+
+| Tool | Description |
+|------|-------------|
+| `search_arxiv` | Search arXiv for academic papers |
+| `search_google_scholar` | Search Google Scholar for academic papers |
+| `search_wikipedia` | Search Wikipedia for articles |
+| `get_paper_metadata` | Get detailed metadata for an academic paper |
+| `get_citation_metrics` | Get citation metrics for a paper or author |
+
+
+## Environment Variables
+
+| Variable | Required | Description |
+|----------|----------|-------------|
+| `APIFY_TOKEN` | No | Your Apify API token for authenticated access. Without it, the server uses the public endpoint (rate-limited). |
+
+## How It Works
+
+This MCP server acts as a local stdio bridge to the [nexgendata Apify MCP endpoint](https://nexgendata--academic-research-mcp-server.apify.actor/mcp). When you call a tool, it forwards the request to Apify and returns the results.
