| name | dblp-cli |
| description | Local DBLP helper without MCP; use to search DBLP, fuzzy title/author queries, venue lookup, BibTeX collection/export, and stats via the bundled CLI script instead of running an MCP server. |
Usage
- Scope: DBLP search, fuzzy title/author lookup, venue info, BibTeX collect/export, stats. No MCP server needed.
- Entry:
scripts/dblp_cli.py (executable). Depends on requests; needs network access to https://dblp.org/.
- State: BibTeX buffer stored at
~/.codex/dblp-skill/state.json, cleared after export-bibtex.
Common commands
scripts/dblp_cli.py search --query "transformer and retrieval" --max-results 5 --year-from 2018 --venue-filter iclr
scripts/dblp_cli.py fuzzy --title "attention is all you need" --similarity-threshold 0.6 --max-results 5 --include-bibtex
scripts/dblp_cli.py author --name "Geoffrey Hinton" --similarity-threshold 0.7 --max-results 10
scripts/dblp_cli.py venue --name ICLR
scripts/dblp_cli.py stats --input results.json
scripts/dblp_cli.py add-bibtex --dblp-key conf/nips/VaswaniSPUJGKP17 --citation-key Vaswani2017
scripts/dblp_cli.py export-bibtex --path /tmp/refs.bib
Parameter notes
search supports --year-from/--year-to and --venue-filter; --include-bibtex fetches BibTeX.fuzzy/author use --similarity-threshold in [0,1]; higher is stricter.stats expects an array with title/authors/venue/year; supports stdin via --input -.add-bibtex strips .bib suffix or dblp.org/rec/ prefix and overwrites duplicate citation keys.export-bibtex appends .bib, creates parent dirs, and clears the buffer after export.
Tips
- Use
search or fuzzy to get dblp_key, then immediately add-bibtex, and export once at the end.
- Add author/year hints for better hits, e.g.
--query "attention vaswani 2017".
- DBLP may rate-limit; keep request rate reasonable.
