ScienceDirect Basic Search

Search for academic papers on ScienceDirect using Chrome DevTools MCP.

Important: Determine the ScienceDirect base URL

Before the first operation, check the current browser page URL to determine which ScienceDirect domain the user is accessing. Store it as BASE_URL. Common patterns:

• Direct access: https://www.sciencedirect.com
• Institutional proxy: URL containing sciencedirect in the hostname (e.g. WebVPN or EZProxy)

Use whatever origin the user's browser is currently on. If no ScienceDirect page is open, ask the user which URL to use.
