What is the ORCID MCP Server?
Connect to the ORCID (Open Researcher and Contributor ID) registry to identify and connect researchers with their professional activities across disciplines and borders.
What you can do
- Record Retrieval — Fetch full summary views or specific biographical sections of any researcher using their 16-digit ORCID iD.
- Activity Tracking — Query summaries of all activities including works, funding, and institutional affiliations.
- Registry Search — Search the global ORCID database using Solr syntax to find researchers by name, email, or keywords.
- Item Management — Deep dive into specific works or funding items using unique put-codes to retrieve full metadata.
- Member API Features — For authorized users, create, update, or delete items within sections to keep researcher profiles synchronized.
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Enter your ORCID Access Token (Public or Member API)
- Start querying academic records from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client
Who is this for?
- Academic Researchers — quickly verify profile data and manage your own publication list without manual entry
- University Administrators — automate the retrieval of faculty activities and affiliations for reporting
- Data Scientists — search and analyze researcher metadata for bibliometric studies and mapping scientific networks

Why AutoGen?
AutoGen enables multi-agent conversations where agents negotiate, delegate, and collaboratively use ORCID tools. Connect 13 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 ORCID tools to solve complex tasks
- —
Role-based architecture lets you assign ORCID 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 ORCID tool calls
- —
Code execution sandbox: AutoGen agents can write and run code that processes ORCID tool responses in an isolated environment

Why teams choose Vinkius for ORCID in AutoGen
The ORCID MCP Server runs on Vinkius-managed infrastructure inside AWS — a purpose-built runtime with per-request V8 isolates, Ed25519 signed audit chains, and sub-40ms cold starts. All 13 tools execute in hardened sandboxes optimized for native MCP execution.
Your AI agents in AutoGen only access the data you authorize, with DLP that blocks sensitive information from ever reaching the model, kill switch for instant shutdown, and up to 60% token savings. Enterprise-grade infrastructure, zero maintenance.

How Vinkius secures
ORCID for AutoGen
Every tool call from AutoGen to the ORCID 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 researchers by their name or email address?
Yes! Use the search tool with Solr syntax (e.g., family-name:Smith or email:user@example.com) to find matching records in the ORCID registry.
How do I retrieve the full details of a specific publication?
First, use get_section with the section 'works' to find the item's put_code. Then, use the get_item tool with that code to fetch the complete metadata for that specific work.
Do I need a Member API account to add or update records?
Yes. While reading public data works with the Public API, tools like create_item, update_item, and delete_item require Member API access and the useMemberApi configuration set to true.
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 ORCID tools during their conversation turns.
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.
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.
