This release is a pre-release and may not be stable for production use.
PaperSeek MCP
paperseek-mcp is the independent Model Context Protocol integration for PaperSeek. It contains no search, provider, ranking, or persistence implementation; it calls the application services supplied by the exact same-version paperseek distribution.
Install the matched release:
pip install paperseek-mcp==1.0.0b3
The default local transport is stdio:
paperseek-mcp --transport stdio
Loopback HTTP transports are explicit:
paperseek-mcp --transport streamable-http --host 127.0.0.1 --port 8766 --path /mcp
paperseek-mcp --transport sse-legacy --host 127.0.0.1 --port 8766
The legacy SSE transport exists only for clients that have not migrated to Streamable HTTP. A transport session is never the search-run lifetime: start_search returns a durable run_id, and later status, event, result, citation, cancel, and export calls use that ID.
The local database defaults to ~/.paperseek/paperseek.db. Override it with --database or PAPERSEEK_DATABASE.
See the MCP guide for client configuration, the nine tools, polling, pagination, and troubleshooting. Provider credentials come from the MCP process environment, as with the CLI; run paperseek doctor --json in that environment first.
HTTP is a private, shared Community workspace. PAPERSEEK_MCP_SERVICE_TOKEN enables a pre-shared Bearer token, not OAuth login or per-user isolation. Non-loopback bindings also require an HTTPS public URL and explicit Host/Origin allowlists. Prefer stdio for local agents.
