Connects Claude to the Directory of Open Access Journals via Pipeworx gateway. You get three tools: search journals by keyword or topic, fetch specific articles by DOAJ ID, and retrieve journal metadata. Useful when you need to reference or analyze academic research from legitimate open access sources without hitting paywalls. Part of the larger Pipeworx ecosystem that bundles 673+ data sources, so you can add just DOAJ or connect to the full gateway. Uses streamable HTTP transport and includes a natural language wrapper that lets you ask questions instead of calling tools directly.
DOAJ MCP — Directory of Open Access Journals
Part of Pipeworx — an MCP gateway connecting AI agents to 673+ live data sources.
| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
search_journals | Search open-access journals. |
get_article | Fetch an article by DOAJ id. |
get_journal | Fetch a journal by DOAJ id. |
Add to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):
{
"mcpServers": {
"doaj": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/doaj/mcp"
}
}
}
Or connect to the full Pipeworx gateway for access to all 673+ data sources:
{
"mcpServers": {
"pipeworx": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/mcp"
}
}
}
Instead of calling tools directly, you can ask questions in plain English:
ask_pipeworx({ question: "your question about Doaj data" })
The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.
