Pull request overview
This pull request implements a comprehensive Literature MCP (Model Context Protocol) service for searching academic literature from multiple data sources, with initial support for OpenAlex API. The implementation follows OpenAlex API best practices including two-step name resolution, rate limiting, exponential backoff retry, and intelligent deduplication.
Changes:
- Added a literature utility module with base client abstraction, DOI normalization/deduplication, and work distribution across multiple data sources
- Implemented OpenAlex API client with advanced filtering (author, institution, journal, year, work type, language, retraction status)
- Created MCP server with search and DOI lookup tools, including detailed error messages and guidance for LLM users
