SciSpace

An AI research assistant for reading and writing papers: chat with a PDF, search over 280 million papers, pull data out of many PDFs and format citations.

You can upload a dense paper and ask it plain questions, with each answer pointing back to the paragraph it came from.

For your agent

No official API. An agent should not scrape the site: use it by hand.

  • No public API, SDK or MCP server found on official pages; the site blocks automated fetches (HTTP 403) except llms.txt, so treat it as a manual tool and link to it.
  • Do not scrape the site; it blocks automated access
  • No documented API: do not invent endpoints

llms.txt: scispace.com/llms.txt

Paste into your agent: Read https://agentgid.com/resources/scispace/agent.md before using SciSpace.

What you can build

  • A research-tools directory card that deep-links users to SciSpace chat-with-PDF
  • A study guide that pairs SciSpace with open APIs (Semantic Scholar, OpenAlex) for the automated parts

API (paid)Commercial: conditions Consensus For a yes/no question it shows how the studies split, which says more than any single paper. API (paid)License unclear
