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)

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 Windsurf discover MCP tools?

Windsurf reads the mcp_config.json file on startup and connects to each configured server via Streamable HTTP. Tools are listed in the MCP panel and available to Cascade automatically.

Can Cascade chain multiple MCP tool calls?

Yes. Cascade is an agentic system. it can plan and execute multi-step workflows, calling several tools in sequence to accomplish complex tasks without manual prompting between steps.

Does Windsurf support multiple MCP servers?

Yes. Add as many servers as needed in mcp_config.json. Each server's tools appear in the MCP panel and Cascade can use tools from different servers in a single flow.
