Summary
Connects Claude to the Research Organization Registry API for canonical organization identifiers used in academic publishing and research. Exposes three tools: search for finding institutions by name, get for pulling complete ROR records by ID, and affiliation for fuzzy matching author affiliation strings to actual organizations with confidence scores. Part of the Pipeworx gateway, so you can either connect directly to the ROR endpoint or access it through the full gateway alongside 673+ other data sources. Useful when you're working with academic papers, need to normalize institution names, or want to resolve messy affiliation strings to standardized org IDs.

Quick Start
Add to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):
{
"mcpServers": {
"ror": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/ror/mcp"
}
}
}
Or connect to the full Pipeworx gateway for access to all 673+ data sources:

ask_pipeworx({ question: "your question about Ror data" })
The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.
