Verified Safeby hballington12
Overview
Facilitates exploration of academic literature and building citation networks using the OpenAlex API, primarily for AI agents to conduct research tasks and literature reviews.

Security Notes
The server appropriately uses environment variables for API configuration (`OPENALEX_EMAIL`), avoiding hardcoded secrets. It defaults to safer `stdio` or `localhost` for HTTP transport, reducing external network attack surface. No direct use of dangerous functions like `eval()` or `subprocess.run(shell=True)` was observed. The use of `json.loads` is within the expected operational flow of an MCP server processing tool outputs.
