Frequently asked questions about the OSTI (DOE Scientific Research) MCP Server
How can I search for research papers by a specific author?
You can use the search_osti_records tool and provide the author's name in the author parameter. The agent will return a list of matching records from the OSTI.GOV repository.
What is the difference between searching OSTI records and Data Explorer records?
Use search_osti_records for general research information like publications and reports. Use search_data_explorer_records specifically when you are looking for scientific datasets.
Can I reserve a DOI for my research before it is public?
Yes, if you have an E-Link token, you can use the reserve_doi action. You'll need to provide the title, product type, and your site ownership code.
