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.

Windsurf's Cascade agent chains multiple OSTI (DOE Scientific Research) tool calls autonomously. query data, analyze results, and generate code in a single agentic session. Paste Vinkius Edge URL, reload, and all 6 tools are immediately available. Real-time tool feedback appears inline, so you see API responses directly in your editor.

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 Windsurf in under two minutes — credentials fully managed, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.

OSTI (DOE Scientific Research) + Windsurf FAQ

Common questions about integrating OSTI (DOE Scientific Research) MCP Server with Windsurf.

How does Windsurf discover MCP tools?

Windsurf reads the mcp_config.json file on startup and connects to each configured server via Streamable HTTP. Tools are listed in the MCP panel and available to Cascade automatically.

Can Cascade chain multiple MCP tool calls?

Yes. Cascade is an agentic system. it can plan and execute multi-step workflows, calling several tools in sequence to accomplish complex tasks without manual prompting between steps.

Does Windsurf support multiple MCP servers?

Yes. Add as many servers as needed in mcp_config.json. Each server's tools appear in the MCP panel and Cascade can use tools from different servers in a single flow.
