What is the ROR API (Research Organization Registry) MCP Server?

Connect to the Research Organization Registry (ROR), the community-led registry of open identifiers for research organizations worldwide. This MCP server allows your AI agent to interact with over 100,000 organization records to ensure data accuracy in scholarly communications.

What you can do

Search Organizations — Use keyword searches, advanced Elasticsearch syntax, or affiliation strings to find specific research entities via list_organizations.
Detailed Metadata — Fetch complete records including ROR IDs, website domains, location data, and external identifiers (GRID, ISNI, Crossref) using get_organization.
Affiliation Matching — Resolve unstructured affiliation strings from research papers to official ROR identifiers for better data cleaning.
System Health — Monitor the operational status of the ROR API via get_heartbeat checks.

How it works

Subscribe to this server
(Optional) Enter your ROR Client ID for identified traffic
Start querying research institutions directly from your AI assistant

Who is this for?

Data Scientists & Librarians — Automate the cleaning of institutional affiliation data and map internal IDs to global standards.
Academic Developers — Integrate institutional metadata into research management systems or repositories.
Policy Analysts — Aggregate research output data by accurately identifying parent and child organizations.

Built-in capabilities (3)

get_heartbeat

Check if the ROR API is operational

get_organization

Accepts full URL, domain+ID, or ID only. Retrieve a single ROR organization record

list_organizations

Use query, query_advanced, or affiliation for searching. Retrieve a list of ROR organizations or search via query

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How can I find a ROR ID for a specific university name?

Use the list_organizations tool with the query parameter. For example, searching for 'University of Cambridge' will return the matching record and its unique ROR ID.

Can I retrieve external identifiers like GRID or ISNI for an organization?

Yes! When you use get_organization with a ROR ID, the response includes a crosswalk to other identifiers like GRID, ISNI, Crossref Funder ID, and Wikidata.

Is there a way to check if the ROR service is currently available?

You can use the get_heartbeat tool. It performs a simple check and returns an 'OK' status if the ROR API is operational.

How does Google ADK connect to MCP servers?

Import the MCP toolset class and pass the server URL. ADK discovers and registers all tools automatically, making them available to your agent's tool-use loop.

Can ADK agents use multiple MCP servers?

Yes. Declare multiple MCP tool providers in your agent configuration. ADK merges all tool schemas and the agent can call tools from any server in a single turn.

Which Gemini models work best with MCP tools?

Gemini 2.0 Flash and Pro models both support function calling required for MCP tools. Flash is recommended for latency-sensitive use cases, Pro for complex reasoning.
