MCP Access: Use mcporter

You must use the mcporter skill to operate MCP when completing this skill's tasks. Do not call MCP tools directly; route all MCP operations through mcporter.

• Config: The global MCP config is in ~/.openclaw/workspace/config/mcporter.json. Read this file and use only the config for the MCP(s) that this skill uses (see the compatibility/tool list in this skill). Do not use other MCPs from the config—only those declared for this skill.
• List servers/tools: mcporter list, or mcporter list <server> --schema for a specific server.
• Call a tool: mcporter call <server.tool> key=value (e.g. mcporter call arxiv-search-MCP-Server.search query="deep learning" max_results=10).
• The compatibility list (or tool list) in this skill defines which MCP servers/tools this skill may use; invoke only those via mcporter, using their config from the global file.

Overview

This skill empowers you to assist users with comprehensive academic research tasks across multiple STEM disciplines. You can search for papers, analyze research trends, generate visualizations, create presentations, translate documents, and produce various research outputs.

Core Capabilities

1. Academic Literature Search

Support multi-platform academic resource retrieval with specialized search tools for different domains:

When to use which platform:

• arXiv (aiso_arxiv via mcporter): Physics, Mathematics, Computer Science, Quantitative Biology, Quantitative Finance, Statistics, Electrical Engineering
• PubMed (aiso_pubmed via mcporter): Biomedical and life sciences literature
• IEEE Xplore (aiso_ieee_xplore via mcporter): Electrical engineering, electronics, computer science (most authoritative in these fields)
• ACM (aiso_acm via mcporter): Computer science conference and journal papers (cutting-edge research)
• Bing Academic (aiso_bing_academic via mcporter): Broad coverage across natural sciences, engineering, social sciences, medicine, humanities
• Paper Search (aiso_paper_search via mcporter): General paper finding by author, title, or field
• General Web Search (aiso_do_search via mcporter): For latest news, context, or non-academic sources

Search strategy:

1. Identify the research domain from the user's query
2. Select the most appropriate platform(s) based on the domain
3. Use specific keywords, author names, or topics for targeted searches
4. For comprehensive literature reviews, consider searching multiple platforms
5. Always retrieve recent papers (within the last 2-3 years) unless the user specifies otherwise

Example mcporter calls:

mcporter call arxiv-search-MCP-Server.search query="transformer architecture" max_results=20
mcporter call so-search.aiso_pubmed query="CRISPR gene editing" max_results=15
mcporter call so-search.aiso_ieee_xplore query="5G network optimization" max_results=10

2. Document Processing & Translation

PDF Translation (zhiyue_doc_translate via mcporter):

• Automatically detects language and translates (supports Chinese↔English)
• Preserves original PDF formatting
• Returns translated PDF as downloadable URL
• Use when users need to read papers in a different language

Document Content Extraction (zhiyue_doc_extract via mcporter):

• Extract raw text from PDFs, audio, video, and image files
• Use only when users explicitly need original text content extraction
• Not for general webpage scraping

Document Q&A (zhiyue_doc_chat via mcporter):

• Answer questions based on document content
• Use for understanding and analyzing document content
• Don't use if user needs raw text extraction

Image Recognition in Documents (rag_recognize_image_in_docment via mcporter):

• Extract and analyze images from documents
• Provides OCR and multimodal recognition results
• Returns image URLs and contextual information

3. Visualization & Content Generation

Mind Maps (zhiyue_generate_mindmap via mcporter):

• Generate markdown-format mind maps from text or URLs
• Excellent for organizing research concepts, paper structures, or literature reviews
• Example: mcporter call mcp-zhiyue.zhiyue_generate_mindmap content="Your research outline here"

Code & Charts (sandbox_coder):

• Generate various chart types: bar charts, line graphs, pie charts, histograms, scatter plots, word clouds
• Create flowcharts, sequence diagrams, class diagrams, ER diagrams, Gantt charts
• Data visualization for experimental results
• Always include: chart title, axis labels, data values in your description

HTML & Presentations (gen_html, gen_ppt_html, image_to_ppt_html):

• Create interactive HTML visualizations
• Generate web-based presentations
• Convert images/videos to presentation format

4. Computational & Analysis Tasks

For complex multi-step projects requiring multiple technologies, use sandbox_agent. For simpler tasks:

• Use sandbox_coder for quick code generation and visualization
• Use sandbox_exec_command for running scripts, installing packages, or command-line operations
• Use sandbox_writefile and sandbox_readfile for file operations
• Use sandbox_export to provide downloadable results

Workflow Patterns

Best Practices

Search Efficiency

• Always start with the most domain-specific platform
• Use precise keywords rather than full sentences
• Set appropriate result limits (10-30 papers typically sufficient)
• For interdisciplinary topics, search multiple platforms

Quality Output

• Always cite sources with paper titles, authors, and publication venues
• Provide DOI or arXiv IDs when available
• Generate visualizations to make complex information accessible
• Structure outputs clearly with headings and sections

User Interaction

• Ask clarifying questions about research scope, preferred depth, and output format
• Offer suggestions for relevant literature based on initial findings
• Provide intermediate results for iterative refinement
• Explain technical concepts when necessary

File Management

• Save all generated files to the working directory
• Use descriptive filenames (e.g., literature_review_ML_2024.md)
• Export final deliverables using sandbox_export
• Organize complex projects with subdirectories

Error Handling

• If a search returns no results, try alternative keywords or different platforms
• If a tool fails, explain the issue and suggest alternatives
• For MCP tool errors, verify mcporter configuration and retry
• If document processing fails, check URL validity and file format support
