Summary
Connects Claude to the INSPIRE-HEP database, the primary literature repository for high-energy physics research. Exposes six tools: search and retrieve literature records by INSPIRE ID, search authors and institutions, find conferences, and pull individual author profiles. Useful when you need to cite particle physics papers, trace citation networks, find collaborators at CERN or Fermilab, or pull publication histories for researchers in fields like quantum chromodynamics or cosmology. Part of the Pipeworx gateway, so you can either connect to this specific server or access it alongside 670+ other data sources through their unified endpoint. Supports plain English queries through ask_pipeworx instead of direct tool calls.

"mcpServers": {
"inspire-hep": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/inspire-hep/mcp"
}
}
}
Or connect to the full Pipeworx gateway for access to all 673+ data sources:
