Overview

AI-generated overview

Local MCP server that lets an assistant search research datasets and DOIs from DataCite, with no API key required.

What you can do
  • Search DataCite for research datasets and other scholarly records.
  • Look up DOIs and retrieve metadata about registered works.
  • No tool list is published, so exact operations are not documented; the server is described only as a DataCite search and DOI lookup helper.
When to use it
Useful when you want an assistant to find research datasets or verify DOI metadata from DataCite while working on literature reviews, data discovery, or citation checks.
Requirements
Runs as a local stdio process installed from the npm package datacite-mcp, so Node.js and an MCP-capable desktop client are needed. No API key, environment variables, or headers are declared. Network access to DataCite is implied by the search function.
Before you install
The server is marked desktop-only and has no published tool list or README, so review its behavior before relying on it. Queries are sent to DataCite's public service. No credentials are requested, but no source code or documentation is provided here to confirm what else it does.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Datacite Mcp in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. 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.
