Search Google Scholar for academic papers and author profiles. Use when discovering papers to triage — by keyword, author, or year range. Returns titles, authors, abstracts, and links. Triggers: search papers, find papers, google scholar, search scholar, find author, author profile, literature search, paper discovery, search academic literature.
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
# Google Scholar Search Search Google Scholar for academic papers and author profiles to build a candidate list before triaging. ## When to Use - Discovering papers on a topic before running `triage-paper` - Finding papers by a specific author, optionally filtered by year range - Scoping a research area and exporting a candidate list to JSON for batch review ## When Not to Use - The paper is already known (arxiv ID, DOI, URL) — go straight to `triage-paper` - The `semantic-scholar` MCP is configured — optionally prefer it; it returns structured data with no rate-limit risk - The search is for biomedical literature — use PubMed or a domain-specific source - A candidate JSON already exists at `/tmp/<topic>-candidates.json` — reuse it rather than re-running ## Mindset Search is discovery, not triage. The goal is a candidate list, not a finished reference. 1. **Return candidates, not conclusions**: hand the list to the user; let them choose what to triage. 2. **Scraping is fragile**: a gotcha is that a blank result may be a silent CAPTCHA redirect, not an empty query. Always verify by checking the raw response length before reporting "no results". …

How to install
mdr add pantheon-org/tekhne/google-scholar-search@sha256:014a43612de5d594The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260721.cca71b6, 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.
