What it does
Aminer MCP Research is an agent skill from Drchronx/ai-agent-research-starter-kit. Use AMiner MCP for academic knowledge graph tasks: scholar search, author profile lookup, institution or team analysis, paper and patent discovery, academic influence checks, and research trend mapping. Trigger when the user mentions AMiner, AMiner MCP, mcp.aminer.cn, scholar portrait, academic graph, institution comparison, expert discovery, patent search, or wants to combine AMiner with literature review and citation verification.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/aminer-mcp-guide.md`).
It sits in Research & Science, covering Intellectual property, MCP servers and Knowledge graphs. It works with Model Context Protocol. The repository describes itself as: AI Agent 科研全流程教学包，能教学生从零部署 Codex、Claude Code、OpenClaw、Hermes 等 Agent，学会使用 Skills、飞书、AMiner、AI4Scholar、Zotero、Obsidian…
When your agent uses it
- The user mentions AMiner
- Scholar portrait
- Institution comparison
- Expert discovery
Example prompts
- “/aminer-mcp-research”
Requirements
- Python 3
- A credential in AMINER_MCP_TOKEN
Workflow steps
4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
- Clarify entity
- Query AMiner
- Cross-validate
- Output
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit aab1133. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are json and python).
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:
mcp.aminer.cnzhipu-ai.feishu.cnaminer.cn
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:
AMINER_MCP_TOKEN
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Aminer MCP Research loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.7k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 114 tokens; SKILL.md has 387 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.
SKILL.md
Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 387 words (~1,058 tokens).
“Use this skill when the task needs AMiner's academic knowledge graph through MCP.”
