Why Claude Code?
Claude Code registers MIT DBLP as an MCP server in a single terminal command. Once connected, Claude Code discovers all 16 tools at runtime and can call them headlessly. ideal for CI/CD pipelines, cron jobs, and automated workflows where MIT DBLP data drives decisions without human intervention.
- —
Single-command setup:
claude mcp addregisters the server instantly. no config files to edit or applications to restart - —
Terminal-native workflow means MCP tools integrate seamlessly into shell scripts, CI/CD pipelines, and automated DevOps tasks
- —
Claude Code runs headlessly, enabling unattended batch processing using MIT DBLP tools in cron jobs or deployment scripts
- —
Built by the same team that created the MCP protocol, ensuring first-class compatibility and the fastest adoption of new protocol features

Frequently asked questions
Do I need an API key?
No. The DBLP API is completely free and public. No authentication required.
What venues does DBLP cover?
DBLP indexes all major CS conferences (NeurIPS, ICML, SIGMOD, OSDI, STOC) and journals (JACM, TOCS, IEEE TPAMI). It covers over 6 million publications from thousands of venues worldwide.
Can I find co-author networks?
Yes. DBLP maintains detailed co-author relationships. You can explore an author's collaborators, see shared publications, and map research networks across institutions.
How do I add an MCP server to Claude Code?
Run claude mcp add <name> --transport http "<url>" in your terminal. Claude Code registers the server and discovers all tools immediately.
Can Claude Code run MCP tools in headless mode?
Yes. Claude Code supports non-interactive execution, making it ideal for scripts, cron jobs, and CI/CD pipelines that need MCP tool access.
How do I list all connected MCP servers?
Run claude mcp in your terminal to see all registered servers and their status, or type /mcp inside an active Claude Code session.
