Search, download, and summarize academic papers from arXiv. Use when user says ”search arxiv”, ”download paper”, or ”fetch papers”.
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
# arXiv Paper Search & Download Search topic or arXiv paper ID: $ARGUMENTS ## Constants - **PAPER_DIR** - Local directory to save downloaded PDFs. Default: `papers/` in the current project directory. - **MAX_RESULTS = 10** - Default number of search results. - **FETCH_SCRIPT** - `tools/arxiv_fetch.py` relative to the MH Agent install, or the same path relative to the current project. Fall back to inline Python if not found. > Overrides (append to arguments): > - `/arxiv "attention mechanism" - max: 20` - return up to 20 results > - `/arxiv "2301.07041" - download` - download a specific paper by ID > - `/arxiv "query" - dir: literature/` - save PDFs to a custom directory > - `/arxiv "query" - download: all` - download all result PDFs ## Workflow ### Step 1: Parse Arguments Parse `$ARGUMENTS` for directives: - **Query or ID**: main search term or a bare arXiv ID such as `2301.07041` or `cs/0601001` - **`- max: N`**: override MAX_RESULTS (e.g., `- max: 20`) - **`- dir: PATH`**: override PAPER_DIR (e.g., `- dir: literature/`) - **`- download`**: download the first result's PDF after listing - **`- download: all`**: download PDFs for all results …

How to install
mdr add fourteen1416/academic-agent-toolkit/arxiv@sha256:7a8bb802605e77daThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260927.a059f3a, 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.
