MCP server for Google Scholar: search papers with Scholar operators, year ranges, cited-by and all-versions lookups, plus citations in five styles with BibTeX export. 1,000 free credits every month.
A hosted Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that gives Claude, Cursor, Windsurf and any other MCP client two read-only Google Scholar tools. Search the literature with Scholar's own operators, year ranges and cited-by lookups, then pull a paper's citation in five styles with its BibTeX and EndNote export links, both as structured JSON, with nothing to host.
It reads public Google Scholar pages that a signed-out visitor can see.
1,000 free credits every month, no card required, which is 100 Scholar calls at the 10-credit rate.

An MCP client and a HasData API key from the dashboard, free to create with no card, and the free tier covers about 100 calls a month at the 10-credit rate. This is a remote server, so the simplest path is a URL and an x-api-key header, with no container to run. A client that only speaks stdio reaches it through a thin launcher, published as @hasdata/google-scholar-mcp on npm and hasdata-google-scholar-mcp on PyPI, shown below.
The server URL is the same for every client. We run it hands-on in Claude Code and Claude Desktop. The other blocks follow each client's own documented format for a remote server.
Field Value :--- :--- URL https://mcp.hasdata.com/api/mcp?apis=googlescholar Transport HTTP, streamable Auth header x-api-key: HASDATAAPIKEY
