What is the OSTI (DOE Scientific Research) MCP Server?
Connect to the Office of Scientific and Technical Information (OSTI) to query the US Department of Energy's vast research output. This MCP server allows AI agents to navigate millions of research records and datasets through natural conversation.
What you can do
- Research Search — Query OSTI.GOV for publications, reports, and conference papers using authors, titles, or specific identifiers.
- Dataset Discovery — Search the DOE Data Explorer specifically for scientific datasets and retrieve detailed metadata for data-driven insights.
- Record Inspection — Fetch comprehensive bibliographic data and full-text availability for specific records using unique OSTI IDs.
- DOI Management — Reserve and submit Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs) via the E-Link API for DOE-funded scientific research and data.
- Advanced Filtering — Narrow down results by sponsoring organization, research organization, or specific publication date ranges.
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- (Optional) Enter your OSTI E-Link Token for DOI reservation and submission features
- Start searching and analyzing scientific data directly from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client
Who is this for?
- Researchers & Academics — quickly find relevant DOE-funded literature and datasets without manual portal searching
- Data Scientists — discover and inspect metadata for scientific datasets to fuel analysis and modeling
- Grant Administrators — manage DOI registrations and verify record submissions for funded projects

Why AutoGen?
AutoGen enables multi-agent conversations where agents negotiate, delegate, and collaboratively use OSTI (DOE Scientific Research) tools. Connect 6 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.

Why teams choose Vinkius for OSTI (DOE Scientific Research) in AutoGen
The OSTI (DOE Scientific Research) 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 6 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.
* Every 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 optimized for native MCP execution. See our infrastructure
How Vinkius secures
OSTI (DOE Scientific Research) for AutoGen
Every tool call from AutoGen to the OSTI (DOE Scientific Research) MCP Server is protected by DLP redaction, cryptographic audit chains, V8 sandbox isolation, kill switch, and financial circuit breakers.
Frequently asked questions
How can I search for research papers by a specific author?
You can use the search_osti_records tool and provide the author's name in the author parameter. The agent will return a list of matching records from the OSTI.GOV repository.
What is the difference between searching OSTI records and Data Explorer records?
Use search_osti_records for general research information like publications and reports. Use search_data_explorer_records specifically when you are looking for scientific datasets.
Can I reserve a DOI for my research before it is public?
Yes, if you have an E-Link token, you can use the reserve_doi action. You'll need to provide the title, product type, and your site ownership code.
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 OSTI (DOE Scientific Research) 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.
