It has 43 GitHub stars, so there is little community track record yet; judge it on its content.
Maintenance, license and trust
- The repository was last updated 5 days ago, so cnki-mcp is actively maintained.
- It is released under GPL-3.0, a copyleft license: you can use it, but modified versions you distribute must carry the same license.

快速开始
本项目提供了配套的 Skill,且同时支持 MCP,CLI,Python API 等多种使用方式,以便为研究者的 Agent 助理快速稳定地使用中国知网搜索论文查找论文。
如果你是人类研究者,将下面这句话发送给你的 Agent 即可:
帮我从 GitHub 上安装 SepineTam/cnki-mcp 这个项目的 skill,subagents 等,并通过命令行的形式初始化这个项目。
成功初始化后,去查看《世界经济》这本期刊的 ISSN 号,并告诉我这个期刊在 2025 年是否发表过任何和人才引进相关的文章。
如果你是 Agent,参考 CNKI-MCP 的 Agent 安装文档
首次初始化
首次使用时运行:
uv run cnki-mcp init
命令会询问 Profile 名称,直接回车使用 default。也可以直接指定名称:
uv run cnki-mcp init --profile school
请在打开的浏览器中完成学校或机构认证。初始化成功后,该 Profile 会成为默认 Profile,后续启动和检索无需重复指定。
推荐启动方式
推荐使用 HTTP。下面两条命令效果相同,默认监听 127.0.0.1:7788:
uv run cnki-mcp
uv run cnki-mcp serve --transport http --host 127.0.0.1 --port 7788
服务启动时会打开一个持久浏览器,并在服务进程退出时关闭。项目只提供知网检索和 文章信息读取,不提供全文下载。
按 ISSN 获取某一期的全部文章 metadata:
uv run cnki-mcp tool journal --issn 1002-9621 --year 2026 --vol 1
这里的 --vol 表示知网页面上的期号。返回结果会把真正的卷号 volume 和期号
issue 分开提供。尚未发行的年份或期号会返回 IssueNotAvailable。
通过期刊名称搜索 ISSN:
uv run cnki-mcp tool issn --journal "世界经济"
搜索会忽略期刊名中的空格和标点,并返回知网搜索到的全部候选期刊。期刊目录来自
知网期刊导航页。工具每次都会通过 ISSN 重新定位期刊并获取当次有效的页面地址,
不会保存其中会失效的 p 参数。
通过 Python 使用
该项目提供了 Python API 供学习参考:
# pip install cnki-mcp
from cnki_mcp import CnkiClient
with CnkiClient(profile="profile1") as client:
results = client.search(
"TI='生态' and KY='生态文明'",
sort_by="date",
)
