orcid-mcp-server

An MCP server built with FastMCP and the ORCID Public API v3.0. It enables agents to search for researchers by name, affiliation, keyword, DOI, or advanced Solr query. It allows reading full researcher profiles including bio, employment, education, and keywords. It retrieves publications from a researcher's ORCID record and exports these works in RIS and BibTeX formats for use with reference managers like Zotero or EndNote.
