Google Scholar Navigate Pages
Navigate search result pages. Requires context from a previous gs-search or gs-advanced-search call.
Arguments
$ARGUMENTS can be:
next— go to next pageprevious— go to previous pagepage N— go to page N
Prerequisites
This skill requires context from a previous search:
currentUrl: the current Google Scholar search URLpage: current page number (1-based)
Steps
1. Calculate new URL
Google Scholar uses start parameter for pagination (0-indexed, increments of 10):
- Page 1:
start=0(or omitted) - Page 2:
start=10 - Page 3:
start=20
Based on $ARGUMENTS:
next: newStart = currentStart + 10previous: newStart = max(0, currentStart - 10)page N: newStart = (N - 1) * 10
Modify the start parameter in the current search URL. If start doesn't exist in the URL, append &start={newStart}.
2. Navigate
Use mcp__chrome-devtools__navigate_page with the updated URL.
3. Extract results (evaluate_script)
Same extraction script as gs-search step 2:
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() || '';
const journalYear = parts[1]?.trim() || '';
const citedByEl = item.querySelector('.gs_fl a[href*="cites"]');
return {
n: NEW_START + i + 1,
title: titleEl?.textContent?.trim() || item.querySelector('.gs_rt')?.textContent?.trim() || '',
href: titleEl?.href || '',
authors,
journalYear,
citedBy: citedByEl?.textContent?.match(/\d+/)?.[0] || '0',
citedByUrl: citedByEl?.href || '',
dataCid: item.getAttribute('data-cid') || '',
fullTextUrl: (item.querySelector('.gs_ggs a') || item.querySelector('.gs_or_ggsm a'))?.href || '',
snippet: item.querySelector('.gs_rs')?.textContent?.trim()?.substring(0, 200) || ''
};
});
const totalText = document.querySelector('#gs_ab_md')?.textContent?.trim() || '';
const hasNext = !!document.querySelector('#gs_n a.gs_ico_nav_next, #gs_nm a:last-child');
const currentUrl = window.location.href;
return { total: totalText, page: NEW_PAGE, resultCount: results.length, hasNext, currentUrl, results };
}
Replace NEW_START and NEW_PAGE with the computed values.
4. Report
Page {page} for "{query}" ({total}):
1. {title}
Authors: {authors} | {journalYear}
Cited by: {citedBy}
Data-CID: {dataCid}
2. ...
{hasNext ? "More results available — ask me for the next page." : "No more results."}
Notes
- This skill uses 2 tool calls:
navigate_page+evaluate_script - Google Scholar shows 10 results per page by default
startparameter controls pagination offset
