OSTI (DOE Scientific Research)

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

  1. Subscribe to this server
  2. (Optional) Enter your OSTI E-Link Token for DOI reservation and submission features
  3. 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 Cline?

Cline operates autonomously inside VS Code. it reads your codebase, plans a strategy, and executes multi-step tasks including OSTI (DOE Scientific Research) tool calls without waiting for prompts between steps. Connect 6 tools through Vinkius and Cline can fetch data, generate code, and commit changes in a single autonomous run.

  • Cline operates autonomously. it reads your codebase, plans a strategy, and executes multi-step tasks including MCP tool calls without step-by-step prompts

  • Runs inside VS Code, so you get MCP tool access alongside your existing extensions, terminal, and version control in a single window

  • Cline can create, edit, and delete files based on MCP tool responses, enabling end-to-end automation from data retrieval to code generation

  • Transparent execution: every tool call and file change is shown in Cline's activity log for full visibility and approval before committing

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

01

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.

02

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.

03

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.

04

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.

05

Can Cline run MCP tools without approval?

By default, Cline asks for confirmation before executing tool calls. You can configure auto-approval rules for trusted servers in the settings.

06

Does Cline support multiple MCP servers at once?

Yes. Configure as many servers as needed. Cline can use tools from different servers within the same autonomous task execution.
