cyanheads/orcid-mcp-server

If you're building anything that touches researcher identity, this is the one to wire up. It talks to the ORCID registry and exposes nine tools: name and affiliation search, a resolver that turns an ambiguous author name into ranked ORCID iD candidates, and per-researcher lookups for profile, works, affiliations, funding, peer reviews, and research resources. There are also two resources for stable profile and works context. It can run over STDIO or Streamable HTTP, and a public hosted instance is available. Reach for it when you need to disambiguate authors, build a researcher dossier, or chain ORCID records to DOIs, PMIDs, or grant numbers. It also ships a guide skill that explains the identifier chaining between tools.
