As a researcher, I've always found it frustrating to switch between my AI assistant and my reference library. When I want to ask Claude about papers I've saved, find citations, or add new references, I had to manually copy-paste everything.
Mendeley MCP solves this by connecting your Mendeley library directly to Claude (and other AI assistants). Now I can just ask:
"What papers do I have on transformer architectures?"
"Find the DOI for that protein folding paper I saved"
"Add this new paper to my Machine Learning folder"
The AI sees my entire reference library and can search, retrieve, and even add documents - all through natural conversation.
Built with the Model Context Protocol (MCP), so it works with Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, and other MCP-compatible clients. Your data stays local - credentials are stored in your system keyring, and all API calls go directly to Mendeley.
Would love feedback from fellow researchers and academics!
