dblp-cli

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   # or --input -

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.
