Semantic Scholar
Semantic Scholar is an AI-powered academic search engine that helps researchers discover and understand scientific literature
This is a first-class FlyMyAI MCP. Agents discover it automatically via tool search and call the actions below on demand - you never wire it up by hand. See the Composio catalog for how discovery works.
Connect
Semantic Scholar authenticates with an API key. Generate the credential in your Semantic Scholar account, then paste it into FlyMyAI the first time an agent uses a Semantic Scholar action.

SEMANTICSCHOLAR_GET_DETAILS_FOR_MULTIPLE_AUTHORS_AT_ONCE | Retrieves detailed information for multiple authors from semantic scholar in a single api call. this endpoint allows users to efficiently fetch data for a batch of authors by providing their unique semantic scholar ids. it's particularly useful for applicatio… | - |
SEMANTICSCHOLAR_GET_DETAILS_FOR_MULTIPLE_PAPERS_AT_ONCE | The semanticscholar paper batch endpoint allows users to retrieve data for multiple academic papers in a single api call. this endpoint is particularly useful when you need to fetch information for a batch of papers efficiently, reducing the number of individ… | - |
SEMANTICSCHOLAR_PAPER_BULK_SEARCH | Behaves similarly to <code>/paper/search</code>, but is intended for bulk retrieval of basic paper data without search relevance: <ul> <li>text query is optional and supports boolean logic for document matching.</li> <li>papers can be filtered using various c… | query |
SEMANTICSCHOLAR_PAPER_RELEVANCE_SEARCH | The searchpapers endpoint allows users to search for academic papers within the semantic scholar database. it provides a powerful way to discover relevant scientific literature based on user-defined search criteria. this endpoint should be used when researche… | query |
SEMANTICSCHOLAR_PAPER_TITLE_SEARCH | Behaves similarly to <code>/paper/search</code>, but is intended for retrieval of a single paper based on closest title match to given query. examples: <ul> <li><code>https://api.semanticscholar.org/graph/v1/paper/search/match?query=construction of the litera… | query |
SEMANTICSCHOLAR_SEARCH_FOR_AUTHORS_BY_NAME | The authorsearch endpoint allows users to search for authors within the semantic scholar database. it provides a way to find academic authors based on their names or other identifying information. this endpoint is particularly useful when you need to retrieve… | query |
SEMANTICSCHOLAR_SUGGEST_PAPER_QUERY_COMPLETIONS | To support interactive query-completion, return minimal information about papers matching a partial query example: <code>https://api.semanticscholar.org/graph/v1/paper/autocomplete?query=semanti</code> | query |
SEMANTICSCHOLAR_TEXT_SNIPPET_SEARCH | Return the text snippets that most closely match the query. text snippets are excerpts of approximately 500 words, drawn from a paper's title, abstract, and body text, but excluding figure captions and the bibliography. it will return the highest ranked snipp… | query |
