Building Arivu: CLI/library that normalizes fetch/search across a bunch of sources (arXiv, PubMed, HN, GitHub, Reddit, YouTube transcripts, RSS, web pages…).

I use it as a context fetcher i.e grab an abstract/transcript/thread as clean text/JSON, pipe it into summaries or scripts.

Also runs as an MCP server (experimental), so tools like Claude Desktop or CLI assistants can call the connectors directly.

  arivu fetch hn:38500000
  arivu fetch PMID:12345678
  arivu fetch https://arxiv.org/abs/2301.07041

Just tried it, this is going to be super helpful with Claude skills.
