What is the ORCID (Researcher IDs) MCP Server?
Connect the ORCID registry to your AI agent to seamlessly navigate the global ecosystem of researcher identifiers and scholarly records.
What you can do
- Registry Search — Perform standard or expanded Solr searches to find researchers by name, institution, or keywords using
searchandexpanded_search. - Profile Summaries — Retrieve complete researcher records, including biographical details and activity summaries, via
get_recordandget_activities. - Works & Funding — Inspect specific research outputs and funding history using
get_worksor drill down into specific items withget_section_item. - Trust Markers — Access validated trust markers for records using
get_summary(requires Member API). - Record Management — Add or update items in an ORCID record directly through the agent using
add_itemandupdate_item(requires Member API).
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Enter your ORCID Access Token (Public or Member API)
- Start querying researcher data from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client
Who is this for?
- Academic Researchers — quickly find collaborators and verify publication records without manual searching
- Librarians & Data Managers — automate the retrieval of institutional research outputs and metadata
- Grant Officers — verify researcher credentials and funding history directly within your workflow

Frequently asked questions
Can I search for researchers by their institution or specific keywords?
Yes! Use the expanded_search tool with a Solr query like affiliation-name:"University of Oxford" to find researchers associated with specific organizations along with their profile details.
How do I retrieve the full list of publications for a specific ORCID iD?
You can use the get_works tool by providing the researcher's ORCID iD. This will return a summary of all research works associated with that record.
Is it possible to add new research items to an ORCID profile using this server?
Yes, if you have a Member API access token with the appropriate scopes, you can use the add_item tool to add works, funding, or other activities to a record.
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 ORCID (Researcher IDs) MCP integration works identically with OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, or any supported provider.
