About DataCite REST MCP Server
Connect to the DataCite REST API to interact with the global infrastructure for research data. This MCP server allows your AI agent to search, retrieve, and manage DOIs and their associated metadata.
Pydantic AI validates every DataCite REST tool response against typed schemas, catching data inconsistencies at build time. Connect 12 tools through Vinkius and switch between OpenAI, Anthropic, or Gemini without changing your integration code. full type safety, structured output guarantees, and dependency injection for testable agents.
What you can do
- DOI Management — Create, update, and delete DOI records (Draft state) with full JSON:API support.
- Metadata Retrieval — Fetch detailed metadata for any DOI, including affiliations and publisher info.
- Search & Discovery — List DOIs with advanced filtering by client, provider, prefix, or resource type.
- Provenance & Events — Track metadata changes through activities and discover citations or usage via events.
- Infrastructure Overview — List repository accounts (clients), providers, and prefixes within the DataCite network.
The DataCite REST MCP Server exposes 12 tools through the Vinkius. Connect it to Pydantic AI in under two minutes — credentials fully managed, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.
