Frequently asked questions about the Figshare MCP Server
Can I upload files to a Figshare article using this integration?
Yes. You can use initiate_file_upload to start the process and complete_file_upload once the data transfer is finished. You can also use list_article_files to verify the contents of any article.
How do I create a new private draft for my research?
Simply ask the agent to use the create_private_article tool. Provide a title and an optional description, and the agent will generate a new private entry in your Figshare account.
Is it possible to organize my articles into projects or collections?
Absolutely. You can use create_project or create_collection to set up organizational structures, and use list_public_projects or list_public_collections to browse existing ones.
