+ # Scopus MCP Server
20
+
21
+ 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.
22
+
23
+ Built with [FastMCP](https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/python-sdk).
24
+
25
+ ## Tools
26
+
27
+ | Tool | Description |
28
+ |------|-------------|
29
+ | `scopus_search` | Search by keyword, title, author, affiliation, DOI, or advanced query |
30
+ | `scopus_abstract` | Retrieve full abstract and metadata for a specific record |
31
+ | `scopus_author` | Look up author profiles (h-index, document count, subject areas) |
32
+ | `scopus_author_papers` | List an author's publications |
33
+ | `scopus_export_ris` | Export results as RIS (for Zotero, EndNote, etc.) |
34
+ | `scopus_export_bibtex` | Export results as BibTeX |
35
+
36
+ ## Setup
37
+
38
+ ### 1. Get a Scopus API key
39
+
40
+ 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.
41
+
42
+ ### 2. Install
43
+
44
+ ```bash
45
+ cd scopus-mcp-server
46
+ python3 -m venv venv
47
+ source venv/bin/activate
48
+ pip install -r requirements.txt
49
+ ```
50
+
51
+ ### 3. Add to Claude Desktop
52
+
53
+ Add this to your `claude_desktop_config.json`:
54
+
55
+ ```json
56
+ {
57
+ "mcpServers": {
58
+ "scopus": {
59
+ "command": "/path/to/scopus-mcp-server/venv/bin/python",
60
+ "args": ["/path/to/scopus-mcp-server/server.py"],
61
+ "env": {
62
+ "SCOPUS_API_KEY": "your-api-key"
63
+ }
64
+ }
65
+ }
66
+ }
67
+ ```
68
+
69
+ Or if using Claude Code CLI:
70
+
71
+ ```bash
72
+ claude mcp add scopus \
73
+ /path/to/scopus-mcp-server/venv/bin/python \
74
+ /path/to/scopus-mcp-server/server.py \
75
+ -e SCOPUS_API_KEY=your-api-key
76
+ ```
77
+
78
+ ## Usage examples
79
+
80
+ - "Search Scopus for recent articles on deep learning in medical imaging"
81
+ - "Look up the author profile for Smith at Northwestern University"
82
+ - "Get the abstract for Scopus ID 85142567890"
83
+ - "Find this author's papers and export them as BibTeX"
