Frequently asked questions about the Zenodo MCP Server
Can I delete a deposition that has already been published?
No. The delete_deposition tool only works for unpublished depositions. Once a record is published on Zenodo, it is permanent to ensure scientific traceability.
How can I search for public datasets about a specific topic?
You can use the list_records tool with a search query. For example, ask the agent to 'Search Zenodo records for climate change' and it will return matching public entries.
Is it possible to see which files are included in a deposition before downloading them?
Yes! Use the list_deposition_files tool with the Deposition ID. The agent will provide a list of all filenames and metadata associated with that specific deposition.
