search_papersSearch 8.5 million academic papers (arXiv + biomedical: PMC / bioRxiv / medRxiv, all disciplines) by topic, keyword, author, or linked entity (gene / protein / disease). Each hit returns id, title, TLDR, type, and links. Use to find papers about a topic, e.g. 'transformer effici…
get_paperFetch a paper's full metadata: title, authors, year, abstract, TLDR (LLM-generated), key findings, citation count, GitHub repos, HuggingFace models/datasets, videos, peer reviews, and links. Accepts an arXiv ID (e.g. '2401.12345' or '1706.03762v5') or an OpenAlex Work ID (e.g. '…
similar_papersFind papers semantically similar to a given paper using SPECTER2 embeddings (trained on scientific-citation triplets). Returns nearest neighbors with TLDR. Use when the user wants 'papers like X' or 'what's adjacent to this work'.
citationsGet papers that cite the given paper (who refers to this work). Use when the user asks 'who cites X', 'what's the impact', or wants follow-up work. Note: 2024+ citation coverage is sparse; indexing in progress.
referencesGet the papers that this paper cites (its bibliography). Use when the user asks 'what does X cite' or 'show me the references'.
get_full_textFetch a paper's full body text as Markdown (methods, results, protocols, inline tables) — use for deep questions the abstract can't answer. Accepts an arXiv ID (2401.12345), a PMC ID (PMC5339222), or a bioRxiv/medRxiv DOI (10.1101/…).
get_figuresGet a paper's real figure images — URLs, labels, and captions. Most biomedical papers have figures; arXiv papers often don't. Accepts an arXiv ID, PMC ID, or bioRxiv/medRxiv DOI.
get_entitiesGet the biomedical entities linked to a paper: genes, proteins, chemicals, diseases, species, mutations, cell lines, and clinical-trial (NCT) IDs. Accepts an arXiv ID, PMC ID, or bioRxiv/medRxiv DOI.
get_structureResolve a gene/protein name (e.g. 'TP53', 'CD44') or UniProt accession to its 3D structure — returns the UniProt accession + AlphaFold model URL (and PDB when available). Great for a gene named in a paper's entities.
