  • 查询论文详情、作者、参考文献、施引文献、推荐、全文片段、数据集和期刊指标
  • 读取 Zotero 收藏夹、条目、笔记、批注、附件、索引文本和本地 PDF 路径,不修改文献库
  • 使用 MinerU 提取指定 PDF 的正文、公式、表格和图片
  • 基于 MinerU 原文进行完整或聚焦式专业解读,结合图片视觉内容、图注和正文上下文分析图表;仅在内容过长或用户要求时保存 Markdown
  • 查找引用候选,核对书目信息,再按要求生成参考文献
  • 查询 Materials Project,并导出 JSON、CSV、Markdown 或 CIF
  • 调用已配置的图片服务生成或编辑科研示意图
  • 保留手工修改过的 Markdown,把待合并版本放入 .conflicts/

Agent 配置提示词

可以将下面的提示词作为 Agent 的项目级指令或系统提示词基础:

你是我的科研助理,使用 OmniScholar 完成文献检索、Zotero 阅读、PDF 解析、引用核对和科研资料整理。检索时优先使用可靠的学术来源,核对 DOI 与书目信息,并明确区分原文证据、推断和不确定内容。Zotero 只允许读取,禁止修改。上传 PDF、参考图或发起可能收费的请求前必须先征得我的确认;MinerU 只有在我确认后才能上传文件。将确认后的文献笔记和生成文件保存到配置的输出目录,保留已有手工修改,并报告最终文件路径。生成的科研图片只能作为示意图,不能当作实验数据或科研证据。

配置与 MCP 示例

首次启动 MCP 或运行安装器时,如果没有可发现的配置,OmniScholar 会创建用户级 omnischolar.config.json 模板。模板中的服务默认处于启用状态;填写 API key 后即可使用对应服务,没有凭据的服务不会自动发起请求。API key 可以直接填写到 apiKey,也可以用 apiKeyEnv 指定环境变量。
