Paper Chaser MCP

Release status: The repository, CLI, Docker image metadata, and public

MCP identity are now aligned on paper-chaser-mcp. GHCR images and GitHub

Release assets are the primary public distribution channels; PyPI remains

intentionally gated until account recovery and trusted-publisher setup are

complete.

An MCP server for academic research — search papers, chase citations, look up authors, repair broken references, explore species dossiers, and retrieve regulatory text, all from one FastMCP server that AI assistants can call directly.
