gs-navigate-pages

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 page
• previous — go to previous page
• page N — go to page N

Prerequisites

This skill requires context from a previous search:

• currentUrl: the current Google Scholar search URL
• page: 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 + 10
• previous: 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:

Replace NEW_START and NEW_PAGE with the computed values.

4. Report

Notes

• This skill uses 2 tool calls: navigate_page + evaluate_script
• Google Scholar shows 10 results per page by default
• start parameter controls pagination offset
