What the code does

We read the source, 20 h ago · rules 3dff92dd89df

Capabilities

What this server is able to do. For an MCP server this is often the job itself — a terminal server runs commands because that is what it is for. Listed so you know what you are plugging in, not as an accusation.

    rc = subprocess.call(args)
Runs an external command index.mjs:20, [пакет] index.mjs:20
const child = spawn(process.execPath, [proxy, URL, '--header', `x-api-key:${key}`], { stdio: 'inherit' });

Is this your server and something here is wrong? Tell us — corrections are free and do not require a plan.

This code can reach further than it looks

We found places where it runs commands, builds paths or queries from values it is given. None of that is a flaw by itself — it becomes one when the code changes, and code changes quietly between releases. We re-read it on every one.

Endpoint below is the one we actually reach during checks — not the one copied from a README. Last verified 7 min ago.

run in your terminal
claude mcp add google-scholar --transport http https://mcp.hasdata.com/api/mcp?apis=google_scholar

This one needs environment variables set before it will start: HASDATA_API_KEY (HasData API key, created at app.hasdata.com. 1,000 free credits every month, no card.). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

This endpoint answered with an authorization challenge. The server is running, and it signs you in through your browser: there is no API key to paste.

HasData Google Scholar — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no tool list for HasData Google Scholar?
The server answered our handshake with an authorization challenge, so it is running — but it will not describe its tools to an anonymous client. To see them you need to connect with your own credentials. We record it as alive, not as broken: 100.0% of checks in the last 24 hours got a reply.
Is HasData Google Scholar working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 92 of 92 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 484 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect HasData Google Scholar?
Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address. You sign in through your browser once and the client keeps the session: no key to copy, and it refuses anonymous clients.
How do you sign in to HasData Google Scholar?
No API key is involved. HasData Google Scholar answers our knock with an OAuth challenge, so you authorise it once in your browser and the client keeps the session. That is also why we see no tool list: it will not describe itself to an anonymous client, and that is the server working as intended, not a fault.
How fast is HasData Google Scholar?
It answers our handshake in 484 ms on average, which is faster than 30% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
How many people use HasData Google Scholar?
The npm package @hasdata/google-scholar-mcp was installed 116 times in the last week. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is HasData Google Scholar open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in JavaScript and 15 stars on GitHub. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
