What is the DataCite REST MCP Server?
Connect to the DataCite REST API to interact with the global infrastructure for research data. This MCP server allows your AI agent to search, retrieve, and manage DOIs and their associated metadata.
What you can do
- DOI Management — Create, update, and delete DOI records (Draft state) with full JSON:API support.
- Metadata Retrieval — Fetch detailed metadata for any DOI, including affiliations and publisher info.
- Search & Discovery — List DOIs with advanced filtering by client, provider, prefix, or resource type.
- Provenance & Events — Track metadata changes through activities and discover citations or usage via events.
- Infrastructure Overview — List repository accounts (clients), providers, and prefixes within the DataCite network.
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Enter your DataCite credentials (Username and Password)
- Start managing research identifiers from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client
No more manual searching through web portals to find research citations or metadata. Your AI acts as a dedicated research data manager.
Who is this for?
- Researchers & Academics — instantly retrieve metadata and citations for specific datasets or publications
- Data Librarians — manage DOI records and verify metadata provenance directly from their workflow
- Developers — integrate scholarly metadata and DOI registration into automated research pipelines

How Vinkius secures
DataCite REST for Vercel AI SDK
Every tool call from Vercel AI SDK to the DataCite REST MCP Server is protected by DLP redaction, cryptographic audit chains, V8 sandbox isolation, kill switch, and financial circuit breakers.
Frequently asked questions
Can I search for DOIs using specific metadata queries?
Yes! Use the list_dois tool with the query parameter. You can use OpenSearch query string syntax to search through all metadata fields indexed by DataCite.
How do I see the history of changes for a DOI?
You can use the list_activities tool to retrieve metadata provenance, which shows the history of changes and updates made to records in the DataCite system.
Can I delete any DOI record?
No. According to DataCite rules, only DOIs in the 'Draft' state can be deleted using the delete_doi tool. Registered or Findable DOIs cannot be deleted to ensure the persistence of research citations.
How does the Vercel AI SDK connect to MCP servers?
Import createMCPClient from @ai-sdk/mcp and pass the server URL. The SDK discovers all tools and provides typed TypeScript interfaces for each one.
Can I use MCP tools in Edge Functions?
Yes. The AI SDK is fully edge-compatible. MCP connections work on Vercel Edge Functions, Cloudflare Workers, and similar runtimes.
Does it support streaming tool results?
Yes. The SDK provides streaming primitives like useChat and streamText that handle tool calls and display results progressively in the UI.
createMCPClient is not a function
