Find papers that cite a given Google Scholar paper. Tracks citation chains using data-cid (cluster ID). Use when user wants to see who cited a specific paper.
Find all papers that cite a given paper. Uses Google Scholar's cites parameter with the paper's cluster ID (data-cid).
$ARGUMENTS can be:
data-cid from a previous search result (e.g., TFS2GgoGiNUJ)If $ARGUMENTS is a data-cid (alphanumeric string, no spaces): use it directly.
If $ARGUMENTS is a title or description: first search to find the data-cid:
gs-search with the title as keywordsdataCidUse mcp__chrome-devtools__navigate_page:
https://scholar.google.com/scholar?cites={DATA_CID}&hl=en&num=10Replace {DATA_CID} with the resolved cluster ID.
Same extraction script as gs-search:
async () => {
for (let i = 0; i < 20; i++) {
if (document.querySelector('#gs_res_ccl') || document.querySelector('#gs_captcha_ccl')) break;
await new Promise(r => setTimeout(r, 500));
}
if (document.querySelector('#gs_captcha_ccl') || document.body.innerText.includes('unusual traffic')) {
return { error: 'captcha', message: 'Google Scholar requires CAPTCHA verification. Please complete it in your browser, then tell me to continue.' };
}
const items = document.querySelectorAll('#gs_res_ccl .gs_r.gs_or.gs_scl');
const results = Array.from(items).map((item, i) => {
const titleEl = item.querySelector('.gs_rt a');
const meta = item.querySelector('.gs_a')?.textContent || '';
const parts = meta.split(' - ');
const authors = parts[0]?.trim() || '';
