ðĪ The strongest curated list of open-source AI-agent tools for literature review â 70+ tools across 11 categories (Claude Code skills, deep research, MCP servers, PDF parsing, systematic review). éĒåæšč―
Open-source AI agents, skills, MCP servers, and frameworks for literature review.
Curated tools that help AI agents handle the whole loop of a literature review: search, screen, extract, read, synthesize, verify citations, and write.
Every entry carries a maintenance status and a licence, refreshed weekly from the GitHub API, because a dead link and a non-commercial licence both cost you more than a missing star count. Four of the workflows here were run end to end rather than described.
