Find scientific papers, follow citations, and verify claims against paper passages. Use for literature questions, related work, citing papers, references, or a question about a particular scientific paper.
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
# Paper research Use Firecrawl's paper-index MCP tools for scientific literature, including biomedical and arXiv papers. If a tool is deferred, discover it with the host's tool search. Ordinary `firecrawl_search` with the research category filters web sources; it does not query the same paper index. - `firecrawl_research_search_papers` finds papers from a natural-language query. Add author, category, or date filters when the request requires them. - `firecrawl_research_inspect_paper` retrieves canonical metadata for a known `paperId`. Reuse identifiers returned by search or supplied by the user. - `firecrawl_research_related_papers` expands from `seed_ids` using the requested relationship: similar work, citing papers, or references. Its `intent` states what the related work should address. - `firecrawl_research_read_paper` retrieves full-text passages relevant to a `question` about one `paperId`. Choose the operations needed for the question; a known paper does not require another discovery search. Verify substantive claims with relevant passages when available. If full text is unavailable, label conclusions based on the abstract …

How to install
mdr add firecrawl/firecrawl-claude-plugin/firecrawl-research-index@sha256:5bb3a49c0e81592aThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261014.8cd54c4, 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.
