wikidata_resolve_external_id
ActiveTool of io.github.cyanheads/wikidata-mcp-server
declared in 0.1.14
Look up a Wikidata entity by an external identifier such as a DOI, PubMed ID, ORCID iD, or OpenAlex ID. Returns match=<entity> on success, match=null when not found, and match=null with multipleMatches populated when a Wikidata data integrity issue causes more than one entity to claim the same external ID. Common cross-server join use cases: CrossRef DOI → Wikidata paper QID (P356), PubMed PMID → Wikidata paper QID (P698), ORCID → author QID (P496), OpenAlex ID → entity QID (P10283). Known value normalization is applied automatically: DOIs are uppercased, PMID prefixes stripped, ORCID hyphens normalized.
