scopus-mcp

An MCP server for the Elsevier Scopus API. Runs over stdio with npx and keeps the API's parameter names and JSON responses.

Quick start

Requires Node.js 22.22.0 or newer, npm, and an MCP client with stdio support. Get an API key from the Elsevier Developer Portal and add this server to your client's configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "scopus": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "scopus-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "ELSEVIER_API_KEY": "your-elsevier-api-key"
      }
    }
  }
}

Reload the client to connect. To pin a release, use scopus-mcp@<version> in args.

Configuration

Environment variableDescription
ELSEVIER_API_KEYRequired for all tools except subject_classifications.
ELSEVIER_INST_TOKENInstitutional token, if provided by your institution.

Set credentials in the client's env object. The server does not load .env files. Access to data and views depends on your Elsevier subscription and institutional access.

The server reports its version in MCP serverInfo and the startup log on stderr.

Tools

ToolDescription
scopus_searchFind publications.
author_searchFind authors and co-authors.
affiliation_searchFind institutions.
author_retrievalGet author profiles by ID, EID, or ORCID.
affiliation_retrievalGet an institution profile by ID or EID.
citation_overviewGet yearly citation counts and summaries.
plumx_metricsGet publication metrics by identifier.
subject_classificationsLook up subject codes; no API key needed.

Each call makes one API request. For additional pages, use the tool's pagination parameters. Requests support cancellation and a 30-second timeout; retries and redirects are not automatic.

Responses and errors

Results follow each tool's outputSchema. The original API JSON is returned in both structuredContent and a text content block, without reshaping fields or converting values.

Available quota headers are returned as strings in _meta["scopus-mcp/headers"]: X-RateLimit-Limit, X-RateLimit-Remaining, X-RateLimit-Reset, and Retry-After.

API failures return isError: true and a JSON text error with code, message, and, when available, an HTTP status. Credentials are redacted. Invalid arguments are rejected before an API request.

ErrorWhat to check
MISSING_API_KEYSet ELSEVIER_API_KEY in the server's environment.
HTTP 401 or 403Check your key, subscription, institutional network, and token.
HTTP 429Check quota headers and Retry-After before retrying.
TIMEOUT or NETWORK_ERRORCheck connectivity to api.elsevier.com.
INVALID_RESPONSEElsevier returned invalid JSON or an unexpected response shape.
