Compatible with every major AI agent and IDE
What is the Scopus MCP Server?
Connect your Scopus API credentials to any AI agent and unlock the power of Elsevier's massive research database through natural conversation.
What you can do
- Advanced Search — Query Scopus abstracts and metadata using Boolean syntax and field codes like TITLE-ABS-KEY() or PUBYEAR
- Author & Institution Profiles — Retrieve detailed profiles, including H-index, affiliation history, and publication lists
- Citation Metrics — Get comprehensive citation overviews, counts, and summaries by year for any document via DOI or Scopus ID
- Journal Insights — Access metadata for serials including CiteScore, SJR, and SNIP metrics to evaluate publication impact
- PlumX Metrics — Inspect social media mentions, usage, and altmetrics to understand the broader reach of scientific work
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Enter your Scopus API Key (and optional Institutional Token)
- Start conducting literature reviews and bibliometric analysis from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client
Who is this for?

Why teams choose Vinkius for Scopus in Mastra AI
The Scopus MCP Server runs on Vinkius-managed infrastructure inside AWS — a purpose-built runtime with per-request V8 isolates, Ed25519 signed audit chains, and sub-40ms cold starts. All 10 tools execute in hardened sandboxes optimized for native MCP execution.
Your AI agents in Mastra AI only access the data you authorize, with DLP that blocks sensitive information from ever reaching the model, kill switch for instant shutdown, and up to 60% token savings. Enterprise-grade infrastructure, zero maintenance.

* Every MCP server runs on Vinkius-managed infrastructure inside AWS - a purpose-built runtime with per-request V8 isolates, Ed25519 signed audit chains, and sub-40ms cold starts optimized for native MCP execution. See our infrastructure
How Vinkius secures
Scopus for Mastra AI
Every tool call from Mastra AI to the Scopus MCP Server is protected by DLP redaction, cryptographic audit chains, V8 sandbox isolation, kill switch, and financial circuit breakers.
Frequently asked questions
Can I search for specific authors using their names or ORCID?
Yes! Use the search_author tool to find profiles by name or affiliation, or use get_author if you already have a specific Scopus Author ID to retrieve their full metrics and H-index.
How do I get a breakdown of citations per year for a specific paper?
You can use the get_citation_overview tool. Provide the DOI or Scopus ID and an optional date range (e.g., 2018-2023) to see how the document's impact has evolved over time.
Can the AI help me evaluate the quality of a journal?
Absolutely. By using the get_serial_title tool, your agent can retrieve official metrics like CiteScore, SJR (SCImago Journal Rank), and SNIP (Source Normalized Impact per Paper) for any journal.
How does Mastra AI connect to MCP servers?
Create an MCPClient with the server URL and pass it to your agent. Mastra discovers all tools and makes them available with full TypeScript types.
Can Mastra agents use tools from multiple servers?
Yes. Pass multiple MCP clients to the agent constructor. Mastra merges all tool schemas and the agent can call any tool from any server.
Does Mastra support workflow orchestration?
Yes. Mastra has a built-in workflow engine that lets you chain MCP tool calls with branching logic, error handling, and parallel execution.
