Resolve scholarly identifiers (DOI, PMID, PMCID, ISBN, arXiv, ISSN, ADS bibcode, WHO IRIS URL) into formatted citations (10,000+ CSL styles) and bibliography exports (BibTeX, RIS, EndNote, CSV...), and check retraction, open-access, and citation-fabrication status. Calls a documented REST API over plain HTTP — no install, no API key needed for the free tier.
EnglishUse the connected scholar-sidekick-mcp MCP server when the user mentions a scholarly identifier (DOI, PMID, PMCID, ISBN, arXiv, ISSN, NASA ADS bibcode, WHO IRIS URL) and wants structured metadata, a formatted citation, a bibliography export file, a retraction check, an open-access check, or verification that a claimed citation is real (not fabricated). Requires the MCP server connected with a RAPIDAPIKEY; for a zero-install path use the scholar-sidekick-api skill instead.
