🛠️ Tools Used in This Workflow
📝 Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1: Install ArXiv & Search MCP Servers
Add the ArXiv MCP server to your Claude Desktop configuration. This gives Claude direct access to search ArXiv papers by topic, author, or date range. Also add Brave Search MCP for finding related blog posts and discussions.
Step 2: Define Your Research Query
Tell Claude your research interest, e.g., 'Find recent papers on retrieval-augmented generation published in the last 3 months.' Claude will use the ArXiv MCP to search, filter by date, and return relevant papers with abstracts.
Step 3: Analyze and Compare Papers
Ask Claude to analyze the papers: compare methodologies, identify novel contributions, highlight limitations, and create a comparison table. The agent reads full abstracts and can cross-reference citations.
Step 4: Generate Literature Review
Claude synthesizes findings into a structured literature review: introduction to the field, key themes, methodology comparison, gaps in current research, and future directions. Output as Markdown for easy integration into your documents.
Step 5: Set Up Weekly Discovery
Create a recurring workflow that checks ArXiv weekly for new papers matching your interests. Claude generates a digest with top 5 papers, key takeaways, and relevance scores. Deliver via email or Slack.
