Tools (9)

orcid_get_profile
Fetch a researcher's public profile from ORCID: name, biography, keywords, researcher URLs, and external identifiers such as Scopus Author ID, ResearcherID, and Loop profile. This is the entry point for building a researcher dossier. Pass a bare ORCID iD (0000-0001-2345-6789) or a full URI (https://
orcid_search_researchers
Search the ORCID registry using structured field parameters or raw Solr syntax. All provided structured params are ANDed together. The `query` field appends raw Solr syntax to the generated clause. Returns ORCID iDs with inline name and institution data — no follow-up profile fetches needed for basi
orcid_get_works
Retrieve works associated with an ORCID iD — publications, datasets, software, preprints, and more. Returns work summaries with put-codes, titles, types, publication dates, journal names, and all external identifiers (DOIs, PMIDs, arXiv IDs, ISBNs). The first 50 works are returned by default; workCo
orcid_get_work_detail
Fetch full detail records for 1–100 works by their put-codes in a single request. Put-codes are returned by orcid_get_works in the putCode field of each work entry. Returns the abstract (short-description), all contributors with CRediT roles, the complete external ID list (DOI, PMID, arXiv, ISBN, et
orcid_get_affiliations
Fetch affiliation records for an ORCID researcher. The `types` parameter controls which affiliation sections to return: employment, education, invited-positions, distinctions, memberships, qualifications, services, or all. Default is employment and education. Returns organization names, disambiguate
orcid_get_funding
Fetch funding records for an ORCID researcher: grants, contracts, awards, and salary awards. Returns funder names, funder organization identifiers, grant numbers, and funding periods. Funding data is entirely self-reported — most researchers do not enter funding even when they have grants. Absence o
orcid_get_peer_reviews
Fetch peer review activity for an ORCID researcher: convening organizations (journals and publishers), reviewer role (reviewer, editor, chair, etc.), review type, completion dates, and ISSN-keyed group identifiers. Use to assess editorial activity, journal affiliations, and the scope of a researcher
orcid_get_research_resources
List research resources associated with an ORCID researcher — compute allocations, equipment access, lab facilities, data resources, and clinical study registrations. This is a newer ORCID section; most researchers have no entries. Returns the resource title, hosting organization, external identifie
orcid_resolve_researcher
Disambiguate an author name to a verified ORCID iD. Returns ranked candidates (5 by default, up to 20 via the rows parameter) with transparent disambiguation signals: name match type (exact/partial/other-name/none), institution overlap flag, and whether a DOI or PMID anchor was used in the query.

How we measure →
What this means. This server responded to the MCP handshake and listed its tools without authentication. The schema fingerprint lets us flag if tool signatures silently change (schema drift) between checks.
