}Search academic literature. ⚠️ Parameters go in the query string, not a body:
Set this endpoint up in your agent →
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.

// Cursor / VS Code a "url" entry for https://mcp.aisa.one/mcp in the MCP config
// The server reaches https://mcp.aisa.one/servers worth of APIs through a few meta
// tools: search, list_categories, get_details, batch_quote, batch_use.
// search, get_details and batch_quote are free; batch_use is billed per

// Show me the quoted cost. Once I approve, run the same calls with
// batch_use and show me the result.

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 a few meta tools: search,

billed per call. Setup per client is in

Cost and request rules
Published reference price: $0.01 USD per successful request. Account-specific pricing and final settlement may differ. 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
Authorizations
Bearer authentication header of the form Bearer <token>, where <token> is your auth token.
