One-click Claude Desktop install
This release attaches the MCPB bundle (scholar-feed-mcp-3.8.0.mcpb) for a one-click install in Claude Desktop, no npx or config-file editing required.
Install: download scholar-feed-mcp-3.8.0.mcpb below, then open it (or drag it into Claude Desktop > Settings > Extensions). The installer surfaces one optional field, Scholar Feed API key (sf_...): leave it blank for anonymous use (100 calls/day), or paste a free key from https://www.scholarfeed.org/settings to raise limits to 1,000/day. The bundle is self-contained (the stdio server is a single tree-shaken file, no node_modules).
Prefer the package directly? npx scholar-feed-mcp@latest works in any MCP client. Also listed in the official MCP registry as io.github.YGao2005/scholar-feed-mcp.
What's in 3.8.0 (matches npm)
Install-reliability release: the published bin is now a single self-contained esbuild bundle (dependencies is empty, so npx installs zero transitive packages and the ~24 MB cold download drops to one ~0.6 MB file, fixing silent cold-start timeouts). All install snippets pin @latest to avoid stale npx-cache pinning. No tool or API change.
