Analytics & Data
What the Semantic Scholar connector can do
Semantic Scholar indexes academic papers and author profiles, with citation graphs connecting related work. A Semantic Scholar connection in type.com lets the agent pull an author's publication stats, retrieve the citations for a specific paper, or list every paper by a given researcher, so a research or content team can build a literature review together in a thread instead of searching one paper at a time.
One connection, many Spaces
Connect Semantic Scholar once, then decide which Spaces can use it in threads, skills, automations, and coding work.

FAQ
Questions people ask before connecting Semantic Scholar
Can Claude pull academic research data in type.com?
Yes. Once a Semantic Scholar connection is shared with a Space, the agent can pull author stats, paper details, and citations in any thread, visible to the whole team.
How does type.com authenticate with Semantic Scholar?
Semantic Scholar uses an API key. An admin adds it once when creating the connection and chooses which Spaces can use it.
Can literature review research run on a schedule?
Yes. A Semantic Scholar prompt can become a type.com automation, such as a weekly check for new citations on a tracked paper, posted to a channel.
Is this the same as a Semantic Scholar MCP server?
Not exactly. type.com uses connectors and connections to give selected Spaces access to approved app tools and data. Some connectors use hosted MCP, while others use OAuth, API keys, service accounts, or custom APIs.
