📚 swiss-academic-libraries-mcp

MCP server providing access to Swiss academic libraries — swisscovery, e-rara, e-periodica, e-manuscripta. No API key required.

🇩🇪 Deutsche Version

Demo

Overview

swiss-academic-libraries-mcp connects AI models to the full Swiss academic library infrastructure via standardised, open protocols. It covers the swisscovery union catalogue (500+ libraries, 10M+ records) and three digitalisation platforms: historical prints (e-rara), periodicals (e-periodica) and manuscripts (e-manuscripta).

All data sources use open, authentication-free protocols (SRU/MARC21, OAI-PMH/Dublin Core). The server supports both local use via Claude Desktop (stdio transport) and cloud deployment (Streamable HTTP).

Beyond the catalogue, the server also covers Swiss open-access legal literature — freely readable legal scholarship from sui generis, ex/ante and Repositorium.ch — as metadata (title, authorship, year, licence, DOI, link), never full text.

It also adds the international metadata layer: DOI resolution and international research literature via Crossref, and preprints via arXiv. This lets one conversation answer both "is this held in Switzerland?" (national layer) and "what is this, and where else does it live?" (international layer). Every resolved DOI returns title, ISSN, ISBN and authors as clean top-level fields, so you can pivot straight into swisscovery.

Anchor demo query (national ↔ international): "Find the original publication for this DOI, check whether a preprint version exists, and show whether a Swiss library holds it." → resolvedoi → searchpreprints → swisscovery_search(query="").

Anchor demo query (catalogue): "Which Swiss university dissertations on primary school pedagogy are held in Swiss libraries, and are any of them digitised in e-rara?"

Anchor demo query (OA legal literature): "Which freely accessible legal-scholarship articles exist on data protection in education? Give me title, authorship, year, licence and DOI." → oalawsearch(query="Datenschutz im Bildungsbereich") — results are ranked by relevance: articles matching all terms rank first, articles matching only the core term (Datenschutz) follow, so the query returns the real privacy-law corpus rather than an empty set.
