DataCite REST

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

  1. Subscribe to this server
  2. Enter your DataCite credentials (Username and Password)
  3. 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

Why AutoGen?

AutoGen enables multi-agent conversations where agents negotiate, delegate, and collaboratively use DataCite REST tools. Connect 12 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.

  • Multi-agent conversations: multiple AutoGen agents discuss, delegate, and collaboratively use DataCite REST tools to solve complex tasks

  • Role-based architecture lets you assign DataCite REST tool access to specific agents. a data analyst queries while a reviewer validates

  • Human-in-the-loop support: agents can pause for human approval before executing sensitive DataCite REST tool calls

  • Code execution sandbox: AutoGen agents can write and run code that processes DataCite REST tool responses in an isolated environment

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

01

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.

02

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.

03

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.

04

How does AutoGen connect to MCP servers?

Create an MCP tool adapter and assign it to one or more agents in the group chat. AutoGen agents can then call DataCite REST tools during their conversation turns.

05

Can different agents have different MCP tool access?

Yes. AutoGen's role-based architecture lets you assign specific MCP tools to specific agents, so a querying agent has different capabilities than a reviewing agent.

06

Does AutoGen support human approval for tool calls?

Yes. Configure human-in-the-loop mode so agents pause and request approval before executing sensitive MCP tool calls.
