Search academic literature. ⚠️ Parameters go in the query string, not a body: query (required), max_num_results, and as_ylo/as_yhi to bound publication years. Returns a search id and results[] with title, link, snippet, authors and number_of_citations — that last field is what a general web search cannot give you. Measured at under 2 seconds. Use it when the question calls for peer-reviewed sources or when citation counts matter. For current events and product pages a general engine is better: post_tavily_search. To cover both at once, post_scholar_search_mixed. Keep the id for post_scholar_search_explain.

Scholar search endpoints use POST with parameters in the query string. Do not send query or max_num_results as a JSON or form body.

Example

curl -X POST "https://api.aisa.one/apis/v1/scholar/search/scholar?query=self-correcting%20agent%20frameworks&max_num_results=5" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer ${AISA_API_KEY}"

// Copy this whole block into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or any coding agent.
// It carries everything needed to connect, authorize and run this example —
// no key to paste, one click of Allow in the browser.
{
  "operation_id": "post_scholar_search_scholar",
  "arguments": {
    "query": "self-correcting%20agent%20frameworks",
    "max_num_results": "5"
  },
  "max_price_usd": 0.05
}
// ── for the agent ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
// Register the AIsa MCP server, then call its `use` tool with the JSON above.
//   name       aisa
//   endpoint   https://mcp.aisa.one/mcp
//   transport  streamable-http
//   auth       OAuth. The server publishes RFC 9728 metadata, so open a
//              browser and the user clicks Allow once — nothing to paste.
//              If AISA_API_KEY is set, send it as a bearer header instead.
// Use your own MCP mechanism, not a hand-edited config file:
//   Codex        codex mcp add aisa --url https://mcp.aisa.one/mcp
//   Claude Code  claude mcp add --transport http -s user aisa https://mcp.aisa.one/mcp
//   Cursor / VS Code   a "url" entry for https://mcp.aisa.one/mcp in the MCP config
// The server lists five tools over https://mcp.aisa.one/servers worth of APIs:
// search, get_details, use, batch_use, list_categories. search and
// get_details are free; use is billed per call and max_price_usd refuses
// anything above the cap before spending. This operation's full contract —
// every argument, the response shape, the price and the pitfalls — is at
//   https://aisa.one/docs/api-reference/scholar/post_scholar-search-scholar.md
// Then run the call and show me the result.

First time? Point any MCP client at https://mcp.aisa.one/mcp — Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, VS Code and the rest. Authorization is OAuth: the client opens a browser, you click Allow once, and there is no key to paste. Your agent then reaches every endpoint through five tools: search, list_categories and get_details are free, use and batch_use are billed per call. Setup per client is in Connect via MCP; the live tool list and what each call costs are on aisa.one/mcp.

Cost and request rules

Published reference values are not an account-specific quote or a settled charge. For endpoints supporting X-AISA-Cost-Mode: quote, obtain a free quote for your exact request before execution; reconcile the settled cost with response metadata and Usage Logs. USD amounts use 1,000,000 integer micro-USD per dollar.

Default request reference estimate (USD): 0.01
Cost contract: fixed_success
Published reference multiplier: 1.0
Settlement evidence source: request_snapshot
