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!
