Connects your AI agent to OpenAIRE, the EU's open access research infrastructure covering millions of publications, datasets, software registrations, and funded projects from EC CORDIS, NSF, NIH, and other funders. You get six tools: search across publications, datasets, software, and projects, plus direct lookups by OpenAIRE ID. Runs through Pipeworx's gateway as a streamable HTTP transport, so no local setup. Useful when you need to pull European research outputs, trace project funding, or find academic datasets and code repositories. Part of a larger 250+ source gateway if you want to mix research data with other APIs.
OpenAIRE MCP — EU research outputs (publications, datasets, software, projects)
Part of Pipeworx — an MCP gateway connecting AI agents to 673+ live data sources.
| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
search_publications | Search scholarly publications (articles, preprints, theses, books). |
search_datasets | Search research datasets. |
search_software | Search research software registrations. |
search_projects | Search funded research projects (CORDIS for EC; also NSF, NIH, etc.). |
get_research_product | Fetch a single research product (publication / dataset / software) by OpenAIRE id. |
get_project | Fetch a project by OpenAIRE id. |
Add to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):
{
"mcpServers": {
"openaire": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/openaire/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 Openaire data" })
The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.
