orcid_search_researchers
ActiveTool of io.github.cyanheads/orcid-mcp-server
declared in 0.2.6
Search the ORCID registry using structured field parameters or raw Solr syntax. All provided structured params are ANDed together. The `query` field appends raw Solr syntax to the generated clause. Returns ORCID iDs with inline name and institution data — no follow-up profile fetches needed for basic disambiguation. For ranked disambiguation of an ambiguous author name, use orcid_resolve_researcher instead. The ORCID Public API caps results at 10,000 — use pagination for large result sets.
