snowcite

MCP server for systematic literature review. Search arXiv / Semantic Scholar / OpenAlex / Crossref / PubMed, snowball through citations, review papers through chat, generate Typst or LaTeX documents, compile to PDF.

No UI, no browser

Review happens in chat. Claude reads abstracts in batches, pre-filters autonomously, surfaces borderline cases to you. Architectural choice — see Workflow.

What makes it different

  • Draft-first writing — outline → skeleton → section-by-section expand with drift checks. No 2500-word walls of text dropped on you to review.
  • Two independent review subagents — academic-reviewer critiques claims and citations, humanizer cleans language. They run with fresh context, like external reviewers.
  • Projects live in directories — .snowcite/ alongside your source files, like .git. cd to switch projects. git clone to share.
  • Typst first — Cyrillic works out of the box, no font or biber dance. LaTeX available for strict ГОСТ / existing vuz templates.
  • Multi-discipline — automatic source routing: STEM gets arXiv, medicine gets PubMed, everyone gets OpenAlex / Semantic Scholar / Crossref.
