🚀 Installation & Usage

Method 1: Docker Compose (Recommended for Beginners)

One-click launch of complete environment (PostgreSQL + MinIO + MCP):

git clone https://github.com/your-org/paperlib-mcp.git
cd paperlib-mcp

# Configure API Key
cp .env.example .env
# Edit .env and fill in OPENROUTER_API_KEY

# Start services
docker-compose up -d

Configure in Cursor

Add to claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "paperlib-docker": {
      "command": "docker",
      "args": [
        "exec",
        "-i",
        "paperlib-mcp",
        "python",
        "-m",
        "paperlib_mcp.server"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Method 2: uvx Install (Recommended)

Prerequisites: Requires available PostgreSQL (with pgvector) and MinIO/S3-compatible storage service.

💡 Quick Start Local Services (Optional)

docker-compose up -d postgres minio minio-init

Configure in Cursor/Claude Desktop, modify environment variables according to your actual service addresses:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "paperlib": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["paperlib-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "POSTGRES_HOST": "localhost",
        "POSTGRES_USER": "paper",
        "POSTGRES_PASSWORD": "paper",
        "POSTGRES_DB": "paperlib",
        "S3_ENDPOINT": "http://localhost:9000",
        "MINIO_ROOT_USER": "minio",
        "MINIO_ROOT_PASSWORD": "minio123",
        "OPENROUTER_API_KEY": "your-api-key"
      }
    }
  }
}

Method 3: pip Install

Prerequisites: Same as Method 2, requires available PostgreSQL and MinIO/S3 services.

pip install paperlib-mcp

Configure MCP client (modify according to your actual service addresses):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "paperlib": {
      "command": "paperlib-mcp",
      "args": [],
      "env": {
        "POSTGRES_HOST": "localhost",
        "POSTGRES_USER": "paper",
        "POSTGRES_PASSWORD": "paper",
        "POSTGRES_DB": "paperlib",
        "S3_ENDPOINT": "http://localhost:9000",
        "MINIO_ROOT_USER": "minio",
        "MINIO_ROOT_PASSWORD": "minio123",
        "OPENROUTER_API_KEY": "your-api-key"
      }
    }
  }
}

Method 4: Local Development

git clone https://github.com/your-org/paperlib-mcp.git
cd paperlib-mcp

uv sync
cp .env.example .env
# Edit .env

uv run python -m paperlib_mcp.server
