Security note

MCP servers receive tool arguments from a conversation and may perform external actions. Review what a server can do before you enable it, and give it only the access it needs.

The registry verified that this server's namespace belongs to dimensions.ai. It runs from a package rather than a hosted endpoint, so there is no endpoint to match against that domain.

SourceWeft's checks cover whether the listing is complete and the endpoint answered; they do not review the server's code or what its tools do.

Overview

AI-generated overview

A local MCP server that lets an assistant search and analyze Dimensions research data, including publications, grants, researchers, patents and trials.

What you can do: Search and analyze Dimensions research data across publications, grants, researchers, patents and clinical trials, using the Dimensions DSL API.
When to use it: Useful when you want an assistant to look up or analyze scholarly and research records from Dimensions, such as publications, funded grants, researchers, patents or trials, during a research or analysis task.
Requirements: Runs locally as an npm package over stdio, so Node.js is needed. Requires a Dimensions API key in DIMENSIONS_API_KEY (the same key as the Dimensions DSL API). Custom Dimensions instances must also set DIMENSIONS_BASE_URL.

Before you install

The server needs your Dimensions API key, which is a secret; keep it out of shared configuration and logs. Queries are sent to the Dimensions API, so search terms and requests leave your machine.

Installation

In SourceWeft

Open Dimensions Analytics in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Desktop only via STDIO. STDIO servers start a local process, so they need the SourceWeft desktop host.

Other MCP clients

Follow the launch instructions in the repository.

Score

40% of the applicable checks met

How complete this listing is, computed from the registry entry, the endpoint and public sources. Not a rating of the server and not a statement that it is safe or working today: reachability is a dated check, and no installs or reviews go into the score.

Keep the endpoint answering the MCP handshake; SourceWeft probes it every 30 days.
Auth declared10 pts
Declare the credential headers in the registry entry, or keep the endpoint answering the probe so its auth can be classified.
