Setup
Install IACR ePrint Archive in your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, and others).
Repository: https://github.com/heewon-chung/eprint-mcp-server
Follow the installation instructions in the repository README, then restart your MCP client.
A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides access to theIACR Cryptology ePrint Archive, enabling AI assistants to search and retrieve cryptographic research papers.
# Clone the repository git clone https://github.com/YOUR_USERNAME/eprint-mcp-server.git cd eprint-mcp-server # Install dependencies and build npm install npm run build
- macOS:~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
- Windows:%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json
{ "mcpServers": { "eprint": { "command": "node", "args": ["/path/to/eprint-mcp-server/dist/index.js"] } } }
Restart Claude Desktopcompletely (⌘+Q then reopen)

Currently, the ePrint Archive's search API endpoint is not publicly available, so this server uses RSS feed filtering for search functionality. This means:
- ✅ Search works within recent papers (last ~100 papers from RSS)
- ⚠️ Historical search is limited
- 🔄 We're working on implementing full search capabilities
- Fork the repository
- Create a feature branch (git checkout -b feature/amazing-feature)
- Commit your changes (git commit -m 'Add amazing feature')
- Push to the branch (git push origin feature/amazing-feature)
- Open a Pull Request
