Configuration
For Claude Desktop

{
"mcpServers": {
"openalex": {
"command": "openalex-ajg-mcp",
"args": []
}
}
}
For Gemini Code / Other MCP Clients
Add to your mcp_config.json:
{
"mcpServers": {

Usage
Tool: search_abs_literature
Ask your AI assistant to search for academic literature:
"Search for 'AI Agents' in 4* Information Management journals since 2023."
Or use the tool directly with parameters:
| Parameter | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
query | string | (required) | Search keywords |
field | string | "" (empty) | ABS Field Code (see table below). Leave empty to search ALL ABS journals (recommended for interdisciplinary topics) |
min_rank | string | "3" | Minimum journal rank: "3", "4", or "4*" |
limit | int | 0 | Maximum number of results (0 = all, up to 2000) |
year_start | int | 2024 | Filter papers from this year onwards |
export | bool | False | Set to True to generate Excel/RIS files |
lang | string | "auto" | Output language: "cn", "en", or "auto" |
Important:
- If you don't specify a field, the search will cover all ABS-ranked journals across all disciplines. This ensures you don't miss important papers published in general management journals (e.g., Academy of Management Journal, Administrative Science Quarterly).
- If you specify a field (e.g.,
MKT), the search will only cover journals in that specific discipline.
Tool: search_journal_literature
Search for literature within a specific journal (e.g., "Journal of Business Venturing").
| Parameter | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
journal_name | string | (required) | Full journal name or abbreviation |
query | string | (required) | Keywords (Use * for all papers in that year) |
year_start | int | 2024 | Start year |
limit | int | 0 | Max results |
export | bool | False | Generate files |
Tool: summarize_literature_report
Generate a statistical summary from an exported Excel report.
| Parameter | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
file_path | string | (required) | Absolute path to the Excel file |
lang | string | "auto" | Output language |
