4 use cases
-
Map a math paper's main results before reading
Get a Paper Map of structure, main-result candidates, and external reading risks before you pick a theorem.
- Papergraph MCP
- Research
- Intermediate
View prompt
Use the papergraph-mcp repo to build a Paper Map for the paper at <paper source> in the workspace at <workspace path>. Return the main-result candidates and external reading risks as a ranked list. Verify that each candidate cites a source slice from the paper.
-
Trace a theorem's dependencies before reading its proof
See direct and recursive dependencies, shared prerequisites, and unknowns for one chosen result.
- Papergraph MCP
- Research
- Intermediate
View prompt
Using the papergraph-mcp repo, run get-dependency-reading on the paper <paper id> in workspace <workspace> for result <result id>. Report the direct dependencies, shared prerequisites, and unknowns. Verify that every listed dependency links to a source slice and that unknowns are not presented as established.
-
Find public full text for a DOI paper
Discover public PDF candidates for a DOI and import the root paper when one eligible copy exists.
- Papergraph MCP
- Research
- Intermediate
View prompt
Use the papergraph-mcp repo to discover public full-text candidates for DOI <doi>. Return the candidates with their sources and do not import anything until the user chooses one. Verify that no file was downloaded during discovery.
-
Export a Reading Report and cross-paper reading plan
Save checkpoints and notes, then export Markdown reports that summarize your reading across papers.
- Papergraph MCP
- Research
- Intermediate
View prompt
Using the papergraph-mcp repo and workspace <workspace path>, export a Reading Report and a Cross-Paper Reading Plan. Return both as Markdown files and check that each open question in the report appears in the workspace state.
How to use Papergraph MCP
- Check you have what it needs: uv installed (see the uv getting-started guide linked in the README); An arXiv ID, a local LaTeX project with its main .tex file, or a born-digital PDF of a math paper; A workspace database location outside the repository.
- Open lotchuazzz-crypto/papergraph-mcp on GitHub and read the README and license.
- Run
uvx --from papergraph-mcp==1.2.3 papergraph-mcp doctorto confirm the install works. - Run
uvx --from papergraph-mcp==1.2.3 papergraph-mcp plan-starter-projectto preview and validate your input files before anything is written. (inferred, check the README) - Run
uvx --from papergraph-mcp==1.2.3 papergraph-mcp bootstrap-reading-projectafter reviewing the preview to create the workspace. (inferred, check the README) - Run
uvx --from papergraph-mcp==1.2.3 papergraph-mcp get-paper-map --workspace WORKSPACE --paper-id PAPER_IDand review the main-result candidates.
These steps come from our top use case, Map a math paper's main results before reading, which also has a copy-paste agent prompt.
