MCP server for priorwork.fyi — semantic search over 114,000+ papers from major ML, NLP, and Computer Vision conferences (NeurIPS, CVPR, ICML, ICLR, ACL, EMNLP, ICCV, AISTATS, and more), directly from Claude Code, Cursor, or any MCP client.

Tools

Tool Description
search_papers Semantic search from a natural-language query — returns ranked papers with authors, venue, year, similarity score, download URL, and full abstract. Pass summarize=true to add a structured per-paper LLM summary (problem, core insight, method, key results, positioning)
search_by_pdf_url Give it a public PDF link (e.g. an arXiv PDF) and get semantically similar papers from the index
list_indexes List the available paper indexes and their sizes
