An MCP server that lets Claude, Cursor and other AI agents search OpenAlex: scholarly works, authors, institutions, and citations/references. It returns compact JSON with abstracts.

Pricing

$0.015 per successful tool call, billed through your Apify account. Failed calls, initialize and tools/list aren't charged. Scoped Apify tokens need "Full access" run mode for Standby.
