What is the Zenodo MCP Server?
Connect your Zenodo account to any AI agent to streamline your scientific research workflows and data management through natural conversation.
What you can do
- Deposition Management — Create new unpublished depositions, update metadata, and manage your research drafts directly from the AI.
- Record Discovery — Search and list public records across the entire Zenodo database to find relevant research, software, or datasets.
- File Inspection — List all files attached to specific depositions to understand the contents of a research package.
- Metadata Control — Precisely update titles, creators, descriptions, licenses, and access rights for your unpublished work.
- Version Tracking — Retrieve specific deposition details using unique IDs to monitor the status of your submissions.
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Enter your Zenodo Personal Access Token
- Start managing your research data from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client
No more manual navigation through complex forms to update a dataset description or find a specific research record. Your AI acts as a dedicated research assistant.
Who is this for?
- Researchers & Academics — quickly draft depositions and manage metadata for publications without leaving your writing environment.
- Data Scientists — automate the listing and retrieval of datasets for analysis directly from your code editor.
- Open Science Advocates — easily search and discover public research artifacts to foster collaboration and transparency.

Zenodo in Google ADK
Zenodo and 4,000+ other MCP servers. One platform. One governance layer.
Teams that connect Zenodo to Google ADK through Vinkius don't need to source, host, or maintain individual MCP servers. Every tool call runs inside a hardened runtime with credential isolation, DLP, and a signed audit chain.

| Infrastructure | Self-hosted | Sandboxed V8 isolates |
| Credential handling | Plaintext in config | Vault + runtime injection |
| Data loss prevention | None | Configurable DLP policies |
| Kill switch | None | Global instant shutdown |
| Financial circuit breakers | None | Per-server limits + alerts |
| Audit trail | None | Ed25519 signed logs |
| SIEM log streaming | None | Splunk, Datadog, Webhook |
| Honeytokens | None | Canary alerts on leak |

| GDPR compliance | Manual effort | Automated purge + export |
Why teams choose Vinkius for Zenodo in Google ADK
The Zenodo 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 14 tools execute in hardened sandboxes optimized for native MCP execution.
Your AI agents in Google ADK 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
Zenodo for Google ADK
Every tool call from Google ADK to the Zenodo MCP Server is protected by DLP redaction, cryptographic audit chains, V8 sandbox isolation, kill switch, and financial circuit breakers.
Frequently asked questions
Can I delete a deposition that has already been published?
No. The delete_deposition tool only works for unpublished depositions. Once a record is published on Zenodo, it is permanent to ensure scientific traceability.
How can I search for public datasets about a specific topic?
You can use the list_records tool with a search query. For example, ask the agent to 'Search Zenodo records for climate change' and it will return matching public entries.
Is it possible to see which files are included in a deposition before downloading them?
Yes! Use the list_deposition_files tool with the Deposition ID. The agent will provide a list of all filenames and metadata associated with that specific deposition.
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.
