About OSTI (DOE Scientific Research) MCP Server
Connect to the Office of Scientific and Technical Information (OSTI) to query the US Department of Energy's vast research output. This MCP server allows AI agents to navigate millions of research records and datasets through natural conversation.
AutoGen enables multi-agent conversations where agents negotiate, delegate, and collaboratively use OSTI (DOE Scientific Research) tools. Connect 6 tools through Vinkius and assign role-based access. a data analyst queries while a reviewer validates, with optional human-in-the-loop approval for sensitive operations.
What you can do
- Research Search — Query OSTI.GOV for publications, reports, and conference papers using authors, titles, or specific identifiers.
- Dataset Discovery — Search the DOE Data Explorer specifically for scientific datasets and retrieve detailed metadata for data-driven insights.
- Record Inspection — Fetch comprehensive bibliographic data and full-text availability for specific records using unique OSTI IDs.
- DOI Management — Reserve and submit Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs) via the E-Link API for DOE-funded scientific research and data.
- Advanced Filtering — Narrow down results by sponsoring organization, research organization, or specific publication date ranges.
The OSTI (DOE Scientific Research) MCP Server exposes 6 tools through the Vinkius. Connect it to AutoGen in under two minutes — credentials fully managed, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.
