Common questions about connecting and running Thenextgennexus Academic Research.
What sources does this MCP server search?
It searches arXiv for preprints, Google Scholar for peer-reviewed papers and citations, and Wikipedia for foundational knowledge. All three sources are queried through Apify web scraping actors.
Do I need an Apify account to use this server?
Yes. You must set the APIFY_TOKEN environment variable with a valid Apify API token. This token enables the server to run web scraping actors that fetch results from arXiv, Google Scholar, and Wikipedia.
How do I install and run this server?
Install via npm: `npx @thenextgennexus/academic-research-mcp-server@1.0.1`. Set your APIFY_TOKEN environment variable before starting. The server communicates over stdio with your MCP client.
Can I use this server offline or without Apify?
No. The server requires an active Apify account and internet connection, as it relies on Apify actors to scrape and retrieve data from external academic sources.
What should I do if searches return no results?
Verify your APIFY_TOKEN is valid and has sufficient credits. Check that your search query is specific and uses standard academic terminology. Apify rate limits or temporary source unavailability may also affect results.
