Semantic Scholar FastMCP Server is designed to streamline academic research by exposing a RESTful API that sits between your application and the Semantic Scholar database. It orchestrates multiple prompt chains (MCP) in parallel—such as metadata retrieval, abstract summarization, citation extraction, and question answering—to produce fully processed results in a single response. Developers can configure each chain’s parameters, swap out language models, or add custom handlers, enabling rapid deployment of literature review assistants, research chatbots, and domain-specific knowledge pipelines without building complex orchestration logic from scratch.

Virtual Scientists V2 serves as a modular AI agent framework tailored for scientific research. It defines multiple virtual scientists—Chemist, Physicist, Biologist, and Data Scientist—each equipped with domain-specific knowledge and tool integrations. These agents utilize LangChain to orchestrate API calls to sources like Semantic Scholar, ArXiv, and web search, enabling automated literature retrieval, contextual analysis, and data extraction. Users script tasks by specifying research objectives; agents autonomously gather papers, summarize methodologies and results, propose experimental protocols, generate hypotheses, and produce structured reports. The framework supports plugins for custom tools and workflows, promoting extensibility. By automating repetitive research tasks, Virtual Scientists V2 accelerates insight generation and reduces manual effort across multidisciplinary projects.
