+ # CrossRef MCP Server
20
+
21
+ An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for searching and retrieving scholarly metadata from the [CrossRef](https://www.crossref.org/) REST API — 150M+ records across all publishers and disciplines.
22
+
23
+ Built with [FastMCP](https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/python-sdk). No API key required.
24
+
25
+ ## Tools
26
+
27
+ | Tool | Description |
28
+ |------|-------------|
29
+ | `crossref_search` | Search works by keyword with filtering by year, type, and sort options |
30
+ | `crossref_title_search` | Search specifically by title for more precise matching |
31
+ | `crossref_author_search` | Search for works by a specific author, optionally combined with keywords |
32
+ | `crossref_doi_lookup` | Retrieve full metadata for a work by DOI |
33
+ | `crossref_journal_search` | Search for journals by name |
34
+ | `crossref_journal_works` | Get works published in a specific journal by ISSN |
35
+ | `crossref_funder_search` | Search for funding organizations |
36
+ | `crossref_references` | Get the reference list cited by a specific work |
37
+ | `crossref_export_ris` | Export recent results as RIS (for Zotero, EndNote, etc.) |
38
+ | `crossref_export_bibtex` | Export recent results as BibTeX |
39
+
40
+ ## Setup
41
+
42
+ ### 1. Install
43
+
44
+ ```bash
45
+ cd crossref-mcp-server
46
+ python3 -m venv venv
47
+ source venv/bin/activate
48
+ pip install -r requirements.txt
49
+ ```
50
+
51
+ ### 2. Configure environment (optional)
52
+
53
+ CrossRef doesn't require an API key, but setting a mailto address gives you access to their faster "polite" API pool:
54
+
55
+ ```bash
56
+ cp .env.example .env
57
+ # Edit .env with your email address
58
+ ```
59
+
60
+ ### 3. Add to Claude Desktop
61
+
62
+ Add this to your `claude_desktop_config.json`:
63
+
64
+ ```json
65
+ {
66
+ "mcpServers": {
67
+ "crossref": {
68
+ "command": "/path/to/crossref-mcp-server/venv/bin/python",
69
+ "args": ["/path/to/crossref-mcp-server/server.py"],
70
+ "env": {
71
+ "CROSSREF_MAILTO": "your.email@example.com"
72
+ }
73
+ }
74
+ }
75
+ }
76
+ ```
77
+
78
+ Or if using Claude Code CLI:
79
+
80
+ ```bash
81
+ claude mcp add crossref \
82
+ /path/to/crossref-mcp-server/venv/bin/python \
83
+ /path/to/crossref-mcp-server/server.py \
84
+ -e CROSSREF_MAILTO=your.email@example.com
85
+ ```
86
+
87
+ ## Usage examples
88
+
89
+ Once connected, you can ask Claude things like:
90
+
91
+ - "Search CrossRef for recent papers on transformer architectures"
92
+ - "Find works by Jane Smith on educational psychology from 2020-2024"
93
+ - "Look up the metadata for DOI 10.1038/nature14539"
94
+ - "Search for journals about machine learning"
95
+ - "Get the reference list for this paper and export as RIS for Zotero"
