api_tools
Access external scientific APIs such as arXiv, CERN Open Data, NASA datasets, and NIST references.
How to use it
api_tools is exposed by the Phys MCP MCP server. Add the server to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf and others), and the api_tools tool becomes available to the model automatically. See the full listing for setup details and every tool this server provides.
