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

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 Pydantic AI discover MCP tools?

Create an MCPServerHTTP instance with the server URL. Pydantic AI connects, discovers all tools, and generates typed Python interfaces automatically.

Does Pydantic AI validate MCP tool responses?

Yes. When you define result types as Pydantic models, every tool response is validated against the schema. Invalid data raises a clear error instead of silently corrupting your pipeline.

Can I switch LLM providers without changing MCP code?

Absolutely. Pydantic AI abstracts the model layer. your DataCite REST MCP integration works identically with OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, or any supported provider.
