Cursor Research papers crossref__search

How to: Cursor Research papers crossref__search

client:Cursor transport:streamable-http tool:crossref__search

Add Research papers to Cursor

  1. 01

    Open ~/.cursor/mcp.json and merge this in. Keep any servers already there.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "research": {
      "url": "https://fourzerotwo.si/mcp/v/research"
    }
  }
}
  1. 02

    Save the file and restart Cursor.

  2. 03

    Ask for something crossref__search does. Cursor lists the server's tools on connect and calls crossref__search itself — you do not invoke it by name.

  3. 04

    If nothing happens, check the server is running and that Research papers's identifier in your config matches the one above exactly.

Use .cursor/mcp.json in a project root instead to scope it to that project. Cursor merges both. Cursor docs

Same tool, other clients

This list was read from the server itself, by connecting to it and calling tools/list on 11 October 2026. It is what the server actually exposes, not what its listing claims.

Mutating and Read-only are read off each tool's name, not its schema — a hint, not a guarantee. The registry stores tool names only; connect the server for its live schemas.
