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.

FAQ

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 Cline connect to MCP servers?

Cline reads MCP server configurations from its settings panel in VS Code. Add the server URL and Cline discovers all available tools on initialization.
