Literature, Zotero, PDF, citation, materials, and scientific image tools

What omnischolar does, in the publisher's words

OmniScholar adds literature search, local Zotero reading, PDF parsing, citation tools, materials data, and scientific image generation to coding agents through a local Python MCP server.

It can search public indexes, combine online records with your Zotero notes, send an approved PDF to MinerU, and publish Markdown into a regular folder or an Obsidian vault. Zotero access is read-only.

  • Search Semantic Scholar, OpenAlex, PubMed/PMC, arXiv, Crossref, Unpaywall, easyScholar, Google Scholar, and Google Patents
  • Retrieve paper details, authors, citations, references, recommendations, snippets, datasets, and journal metrics
  • Read Zotero collections, items, notes, annotations, attachments, indexed text, and local PDF paths without changing the library
  • Parse selected PDFs with MinerU and keep text, formulas, tables, and figures together

Skills · 10

academic-citation
Verify, format, and insert scholarly citations with OmniScholar. Use for APA, IEEE, GB/T 7714 and other styles, citation-network evidence, bibliography generation, candidate discovery, or verified citation insertion.
chemical-data
Inspect CAS Common Chemistry contract status and query substance records only when a provider-issued API contract is configured. Use for chemical names, CAS Registry Numbers, structures, and basic compound information; not literature, reaction, or materials-property discovery.
literature-reading
materials-project
Query Materials Project records, inspect structures and phase data, and export sourced results with OmniScholar. Use for materials screening, property retrieval, phase analysis, XRD capability checks, or JSON/CSV/Markdown/CIF export.
obsidian-literature-base
omnischolar
Orchestrate multi-step scholarly work with OmniScholar across literature discovery, read-only Zotero, PDF parsing, citations, materials and chemical data, scientific images, and local publication. Use when a request spans several research workflows or the correct specialist workflow is unclear.
paper-reading
Parse and analyze a selected local PDF with OmniScholar and MinerU. Use when the task needs structured full text, equations, tables, figures, captions, or close reading beyond metadata and Zotero notes.
scholar-search
Discover scholarly literature, patents, authors, citation networks, recommendations, journal metrics, snippets, and datasets with OmniScholar. Use for evidence gathering, related-work exploration, journal selection, or when local Zotero coverage is insufficient.
scientific-figure
Generate or edit scientific illustration drafts with OmniScholar, including reference-guided and multi-reference work, or use Ai4Scholar for its declared figure actions. Use for mechanisms, graphical abstracts, workflows, apparatus diagrams, concept art, critique, or vectorization.
zotero-research
Search and inspect the user's local Zotero library with OmniScholar. Use for collections, bibliographic metadata, notes, annotations, attachments, indexed text, local-paper matching, or selecting a PDF without modifying Zotero.

Descriptions come from the frontmatter of each SKILL.md, punctuation lightly normalized.
