## What is this Python project?
OneCite is a universal citation and academic reference toolkit that automates bibliography management. It converts any reference input (DOI, arXiv ID, paper titles, URLs) into properly formatted citations.
**Key Features:**
- 🔍 Smart recognition from DOI, arXiv, PMID, ISBN, GitHub URLs, or plain text queries
- 📚 Multiple output formats: BibTeX, APA, MLA
- 🎯 4-stage high-accuracy pipeline: clean → query → validate → format
- 🌐 Integrates 9+ academic databases: CrossRef, Semantic Scholar, PubMed, arXiv, dblp, DataCite, Zenodo, OpenAlex, Google Books
- 🤖 Full Model Context Protocol (MCP) support for AI assistants (Claude, Cursor)
- 🎓 Handles 7+ citation types: journal articles, conference papers, books, software, datasets, theses, preprints
- 🎛️ Interactive mode for disambiguation
- ⚙️ YAML-based custom templates
## What's the difference between this Python project and similar ones?
**vs. Traditional citation managers (Zotero, Mendeley):**
- ✅ CLI-first, automation-friendly (no GUI required)
- ✅ Batch processing from plain text files
- ✅ Designed for integration into workflows and scripts
**vs. Other Python citation tools:**
- ✅ **Multi-source intelligence**: Queries 9+ databases simultaneously, not just one
- ✅ **Smart recognition**: Handles incomplete/fuzzy inputs (e.g., "Attention paper Vaswani 2017")
- ✅ **AI-native**: First citation tool with native MCP support for AI assistants
- ✅ **Universal identifiers**: Accepts DOI, arXiv, PMID, ISBN, GitHub, Zenodo in one tool
**Community recognition:**
- Featured in [awesome-LaTeX](https://github.com/egeerardyn/awesome-LaTeX#bibliography-tools)
- Available on PyPI with active maintenance
- MIT licensed with comprehensive documentation
