prismAId MCP — Claude Code MCP server: what it does, how to install
Drives protocol-driven literature reviews with generative models. Handles paper screening, format conversion, and PRISMA 2020 protocol validation.
claude mcp add prismaid-mcp -- docker run -i --rm ghcr.io/open-and-sustainable/prismaid-mcp:0.17.1What prismAId MCP does
The server bridges AI assistants with scientific review pipelines. It handles duplicate removal, off-topic detection, and article classification. To feed data into models, it extracts raw text from PDF, DOCX, and HTML sources.
Review workflows run on TOML configuration files. You can pull research directly from Zotero collections or URLs. The system logs pipeline milestones via RevAIse records and validates them against PRISMA 2020 rules using SHACL shapes.
Deployment depends on Docker because the packaged server runs from the image ghcr.io/open-and-sustainable/prismaid-mcp:0.17.1. Without a functioning Docker daemon, the agent will fail to launch the process.
What it helps with
- strip duplicate entries and off-topic papers from search results
- fetch manuscripts from Zotero collections or URL batches
- extract plain text from PDF and DOCX files for LLM analysis
- validate literature review stages against PRISMA 2020 reporting standards
Example prompts for the agent
- Fetch articles from my Zotero collection and extract plain text from them
- Screen this paper list for duplicates and off-topic studies
- Check our review progress record against PRISMA 2020 criteria
