| Description | Semantic Scholar is a free, AI-powered research tool from the Allen Institute for AI that lets researchers, students, and academics search and understand over 237 million papers across all fields of science. It layers machine-learning features like semantic search and the Semantic Reader (an augmented in-browser reading experience) on top of a massive open corpus, and offers a public API so developers can build their own scholarly apps. Unlike subscription bibliometric databases, it is fully free and strongest in computer science, AI, and biomedicine. | mcp-webresearch is a free, open-source Model Context Protocol server that lets Claude Desktop run live Google searches, extract webpage content, capture screenshots, and track a research session of queries and visited pages. It's aimed at developers and Claude power users comfortable editing a config file and running a local Node.js server. Its main differentiator is the bundled 'agentic-research' prompt that guides Claude through broad-then-refined, source-cited research rather than one-off lookups. |
