What is MCP-DBLP?

MCP-DBLP is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that gives Large Language Models access to the DBLP computer science bibliography database. It integrates the DBLP API with LLMs, enabling AI models to search academic publications, process citations, generate BibTeX entries, and perform fuzzy matching on titles and author names.

How to use MCP-DBLP?

Install via uvx mcp-dblp and configure in Claude Desktop (add to claude_desktop_config.json) or Claude Code (claude mcp add mcp-dblp -- uvx mcp-dblp).
