orcid_resolve_researcher
ActiveTool of io.github.cyanheads/orcid-mcp-server
declared in 0.2.6
Disambiguate an author name to a verified ORCID iD. Returns up to 5 ranked candidates with transparent disambiguation signals: name match type (exact/partial/other-name/none), institution overlap flag, and whether a DOI or PMID anchor was used in the query. A DOI or PMID anchor is near-deterministic — it filters to researchers who have linked that specific work to their ORCID record. Use this tool (not orcid_search_researchers) when the input is an ambiguous name that needs ranked disambiguation. No synthetic scores are used — raw signals only.
