Panda Research Tools

Give Claude, Cursor or any MCP client 8 research-integrity tools: catch fake or retracted citations, search OpenAlex and PubMed, find experts, pull PDF tables, find Wayback snapshots and track topic trends. Each tool runs one public-data Apify Actor on your own Apify account and is priced per result. Part of the Panda Federation toolkit (40 tools in four focused servers).

Part of Panda Federation

This project is a module of the Panda Federation — public-data tools, MCP servers, and local-first apps in one catalog. See the rest of the work, including books when they publish and the matching free or paid editions of this tool, at the official site.

How to use this

uvx panda-research-tools

Get a free Apify token at console.apify.com/settings/integrations (the free plan includes $5 of monthly credit) and install uv.
Add the server to your MCP client: command uvx, args ["panda-research-tools"], env APIFY_TOKEN (Cursor JSON below).
Ask in plain words, e.g. "Check these 12 references for fake or retracted papers and format the good ones in APA." Start with one or two inputs and read the summary / agentSummary line before widening.

{"mcpServers": {"panda-research-tools": {"command": "uvx", "args": ["panda-research-tools"], "env": {"APIFY_TOKEN": "apify_api_YOUR_TOKEN"}}}}

For AI agents

Field	Value
Purpose	Focused MCP server with 8 research-integrity tools: catch fake or retracted citations, search OpenAlex and PubMed, find experts, pull PDF tables, find Wayback snapshots and track topic trends.
Use when	A task needs verified scholarly sources: citation checks, literature or PubMed search, expert finding, PDF tables, archived page snapshots or topic trends.
Do not use when	The task is about federal money (use `panda-public-funding-tools`), sales leads (`panda-leads-tools`) or site/email safety (`panda-web-security-tools`).
Install	`uvx panda-research-tools` (stdio, Python 3.11+)
Auth	`APIFY_TOKEN` env var; runs bill to that Apify account.
Tools	8, listed under Tools
Outputs	JSON rows plus a one-line `summary` / `agentSummary`; Excel/CSV files on the Apify run.
Side effects and cost	Starts Apify runs; pay per result; empty runs are not charged per result; `run_max_charge_usd` caps each call. Read-only toward third-party sites.
