About Zenodo MCP Server
Connect your Zenodo account to any AI agent to streamline your scientific research workflows and data management through natural conversation.
The OpenAI Agents SDK auto-discovers all 14 tools from Zenodo through native MCP integration. Build agents with built-in guardrails, tracing, and handoff patterns. chain multiple agents where one queries Zenodo, another analyzes results, and a third generates reports, all orchestrated through Vinkius.
What you can do
- Deposition Management — Create new unpublished depositions, update metadata, and manage your research drafts directly from the AI.
- Record Discovery — Search and list public records across the entire Zenodo database to find relevant research, software, or datasets.
- File Inspection — List all files attached to specific depositions to understand the contents of a research package.
- Metadata Control — Precisely update titles, creators, descriptions, licenses, and access rights for your unpublished work.
- Version Tracking — Retrieve specific deposition details using unique IDs to monitor the status of your submissions.
The Zenodo MCP Server exposes 14 tools through the Vinkius. Connect it to OpenAI Agents SDK in under two minutes — credentials fully managed, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.
