Orcid is a remote MCP server that gives an AI agent 9 tools, among them orcid_get_affiliations, orcid_get_funding, orcid_get_peer_reviews. It answers at https://orcid.caseyjhand.com/mcp over streamable HTTP, and it listed its tools to an anonymous client, so no sign-in was needed for that. Our probes reached it 6 of 6 times since 11 September 2026; the last check, on 21 October 2026, succeeded.
Researcher profiles, works, affiliations, funding, and peer reviews from the ORCID registry.

orcid_get_research_resources | List research resources associated with an ORCID researcher — compute allocations, equipment access, lab facilities, data resources, and clinical study registrations. This is a newer ORCID section; most researchers have no entries. Returns Inputs: orcid_id |
orcid_get_work_detail | Fetch full detail records for 1–100 works by their put-codes in a single request. Put-codes are returned by orcid_get_works in the putCode field of each work entry. Returns the abstract (short-description), all contributors with CRediT role Inputs: orcid_id, put_codes |
orcid_get_works | Retrieve works associated with an ORCID iD — publications, datasets, software, preprints, and more. Returns work summaries with put-codes, titles, types, publication dates, journal names, and all external identifiers (DOIs, PMIDs, arXiv IDs Inputs: orcid_id, limit, offset, include_external_ids |
orcid_resolve_researcher | Disambiguate an author name to a verified ORCID iD. Returns ranked candidates (5 by default, up to 20 via the rows parameter) with transparent disambiguation signals: name match type (exact/partial/other-name/none), institution overlap flag Inputs: name, affiliation, doi, pmid, rows |
orcid_search_researchers | Search the ORCID registry using structured field parameters or raw Solr syntax. All provided structured params are ANDed together.

Put the server under mcpServers in ~/.cursor/mcp.json with the URL https://orcid.caseyjhand.com/mcp. The exact JSON is above, with the same setup for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, VS Code, Windsurf, Zed, Gemini CLI and the rest.
It listed its tools to an anonymous client, so reading the tool list needs no key. Individual tools can still ask for credentials in their own inputs.
Publisher: io.github.cyanheads. Endpoint host: orcid.caseyjhand.com. ARD identifier: urn:air:io.github.cyanheads:mcp:orcid-mcp-server.
First indexed 10 September 2026. The tools are exactly what the server returned; nothing on this page
is inferred from its name. Ranking in Neuronto search is never for sale.
