Rimagination/scansci-pdf is an agent-oriented tool that finds and downloads academic papers from sources such as open-access repositories, preprint services, publishers, and institutional access routes. It accepts identifiers or literature lists, saves papers as named PDF files, and can also export citations or convert PDFs to Markdown. Its MCP server and agent plugins let coding agents use these paper-retrieval workflows.
