CLI

The project installs icml-papers for index work and local testing, and icml-paper-search-mcp for the MCP service.

`icml-papers info`

uv run icml-papers info

Print the Milvus endpoint, current collection, model, paths, and corpus statistics. This command does not call DashScope.

uv run icml-papers build
uv run icml-papers build --execute --max-input-tokens <CAP>

Option	Purpose
`--execute`	Confirm DashScope calls and index writes
`--max-input-tokens N`	Input-token cap; required with execute
`--resume`	Resume from a matching complete-batch checkpoint

The first command is an offline preflight. The second calls DashScope and writes the Milvus collection. See Build the index.

uv run icml-papers search "discrete diffusion language models"

Option	Purpose
`-k, --top-k`	Maximum results returned
`-d, --depth`	Fixed candidate-window depth
`--area`	Filter by research area
`--type`	Filter by paper type
`--spotlight`	Return spotlight papers only

Run without a query for interactive mode. Add --session there to suppress papers already returned during that terminal session.

uv run icml-paper-search-mcp

Starts one Streamable HTTP process. The default endpoint is http://127.0.0.1:20441/mcp.

icml-papers returns 0 on success and 2 for handled application or input errors.
