Use when the user needs academic paper retrieval — searching scientific literature and patent/author/source metadata, finding paper chunks for RAG-style citations, or expanding original text around a known paper offset. Provides six Sciverse tools (search_metadata, semantic_search, list_catalog, list_paper_relations, read_content, get_resource) via the sciverse-mcp-server MCP server.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Sciverse — Academic Paper Retrieval Retrieval skill for the Sciverse open platform. Exposes six tools for working with scientific literature: field introspection, metadata search across papers, authors, sources and patents, semantic chunk retrieval for RAG, citation / reference pagination, character-range content reading, and figure / table image fetching. ## When to use Trigger this skill when the user's request involves any of: - Locating academic papers by structured criteria (authors, year, journal, subjects) - Grounding an answer in paper excerpts (RAG / citations) - Expanding the original text around a known doc_id (more text before/after a chunk) Do NOT use this skill for general web search, news, or non-scientific content — the supported collections are papers, authors, sources, and patents. ## Prerequisites This skill is a thin wrapper around the `sciverse-mcp-server` MCP server. Before invoking any tool, ensure the server is reachable: 1. Obtain an API token from https://sciverse.space and export it (or run `sciverse auth login`, which saves it to `~/.sciverse/credentials.json`): ```bash export SCIVERSE_API_TOKEN=sv-... ``` …

How to install
mdr add opendatalab/sciverse-agent-tools/sciverse@sha256:5784913ffd39ef2dThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261030.139d0ed, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
