Systematic medical reviews and evidence-based healthcare research
Fetch a researcher's public profile from ORCID: name, biography, keywords, researcher URLs, and external identifiers such as Scopus Author ID, ResearcherID, and Loop profile. This is the entry point for building a researcher dossier. Pass a bare ORCID iD (0000-0001-2345-6789) or a full URI (https://orcid.org/0000-0001-2345-6789). The profile contains only publicly visible data — researchers contro
ArgumentsA call is made on an account: it counts against an allowance and the publisher sees it, which is why this one asks who you are first.
What it does
Search researcher profiles, works, affiliations, funding and peer-review records from ORCID.

> Search researcher profiles, works, affiliations, funding and peer-review records from ORCID.
ORCID is free: there is no plan to choose, no cap to set and nothing that can bill you.
Collected from a public index. Nobody has claimed this account, so nothing here was written by its author — claim it if it is yours.
Where are you running it?
Every route below installs the same thing and ends at the same approval screen. Nothing here runs on your machine — this server runs on the publisher’s own infrastructure behind our gateway, and what you install is the connection to it.
This is a public server: you run it yourself and this marketplace is not in the path. Claude Code registers it in one command.
claude mcp add --transport http orcid-caseyjhand-com-orcid-mcp https://orcid.caseyjhand.com/mcpReconnect, or start a new session, and the tools appear in the model’s tool list.
One config entry pointing at the gateway. The server itself runs on the publisher’s own infrastructure, so nothing from this listing executes on your machine.
9 tools, with what each one reads, writes and reaches shown before you agree — the same list on every route above. Read the tool surface.

This is the entry point for building a researcher dossier. Pass a bare ORCID iD (0000-0001-2345-6789) or a full URI (https://orcid.org/0000-0001-2345-6789).

Takes no parameters.
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_researche
Takes no parameters.
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, ISBNs). The first 50 works are returned by default; workCount reports the total available, and prolific records are paged with offset and the returned nextOff
Takes no parameters.
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 roles, the complete external ID list (DOI, PMID, arXiv, ISBN, etc.), citation metadata (BibTeX or other formats when provided), journal title, and URL for each work
Takes no parameters.
Fetch affiliation records for an ORCID researcher. The `types` parameter controls which affiliation sections to return: employment, education, invited-positions, distinctions, memberships, qualifications, services, or all. Default is employment and education. Returns organization names, disambiguated organization identifiers (ROR/GRID/Ringgold), departments, roles, and date ranges. Affiliation dat
Takes no parameters.
Fetch funding records for an ORCID researcher: grants, contracts, awards, and salary awards. Returns funder names, funder organization identifiers, grant numbers, and funding periods. Funding data is entirely self-reported — most researchers do not enter funding even when they have grants. Absence of funding records does not imply absence of funding. When records exist they are high-value for gran
Takes no parameters.
Fetch peer review activity for an ORCID researcher: convening organizations (journals and publishers), reviewer role (reviewer, editor, chair, etc.), review type, completion dates, and ISSN-keyed group identifiers. Use to assess editorial activity, journal affiliations, and the scope of a researcher's peer review contributions. Peer review records are self-reported or imported by participating pub
Takes no parameters.
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 the resource title, hosting organization, external identifiers (often a URI to the allocation portal), and access period. Most entries are deposited by resource
Takes no parameters.
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, 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 w

What counts against your monthly calls
| Tool | Unit | Calls used | Out of the allowance |
|---|
Nothing here is billable. ORCID costs nothing to install and nothing to call, at any volume.
Two independent axes, because powerful and malicious are different questions. The grade is threat only. The capability level is blast radius, and it is never a penalty on the grade — it is priced as one subtract-only term in the score, where you can see it.
This listing is a hosted endpoint: the publisher runs it and we connect to it. The scanner reads packages and source, and neither exists to read here, so there is no grade — not a withheld one, an unmeasured one. What can be checked instead is on Installation: what it asks to reach and what it writes.
Release history
Pinned to 0.2.13 — the install command below asks for that release. A pin is part of an install, so it is kept for this visit and written down when you install.
No release note was published with this version.
Only accounts with at least 50 real tool calls against this server in the last 90 days can post. Ratings are weighted by how much the reviewer actually uses it, and publishers can reply once per review.
Writing one takes an account with at least 50 real tool calls against ORCID in the last 90 days. That is the whole gate — there is no other way to post, which is why the counts beside each review are worth reading.
Nobody has reviewed this listing. The rating on the card is the mean of the reviews written here and nothing else, so there is no rating until somebody writes the first — which takes an account with 50 real tool calls against it.
