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.
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Enter your DataCite credentials (Username and Password)
- Start managing research identifiers from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client
No more manual searching through web portals to find research citations or metadata. Your AI acts as a dedicated research data manager.
Who is this for?
- Researchers & Academics — instantly retrieve metadata and citations for specific datasets or publications
- Data Librarians — manage DOI records and verify metadata provenance directly from their workflow
- Developers — integrate scholarly metadata and DOI registration into automated research pipelines

How Vinkius secures
DataCite REST for Mastra AI
Every tool call from Mastra AI to the DataCite REST MCP Server is protected by DLP redaction, cryptographic audit chains, V8 sandbox isolation, kill switch, and financial circuit breakers.
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 Mastra AI connect to MCP servers?
Create an MCPClient with the server URL and pass it to your agent. Mastra discovers all tools and makes them available with full TypeScript types.
Can Mastra agents use tools from multiple servers?
Yes. Pass multiple MCP clients to the agent constructor. Mastra merges all tool schemas and the agent can call any tool from any server.
Does Mastra support workflow orchestration?
Yes. Mastra has a built-in workflow engine that lets you chain MCP tool calls with branching logic, error handling, and parallel execution.
