MCP tool
list_journals
list_journals is a tool name used by 2 different MCP servers. They are not necessarily the same tool — here is what each one does.
2 MCP servers expose a list_journals tool: AMIRA — Africa Multiple Research Data and Conference Partner. Their input schemas differ, so compare them below before picking one.
