Registry code: 5eaa066f69df7396

cern-inspire-mcp-server reads INSPIRE-HEP (inspirehep.net), the high-energy-physics literature database, including its index of HEPData (hepdata.net), the repository of the numerical tables behind HEP publications. Papers are keyed by INSPIRE record ID (recid); arXiv IDs, DOIs, and the HEPData form ins<recid> resolve to one. Typical chain: cern_inspire_search_literature (INSPIRE syntax such as "a Jane.Doe.1", "t higgs and topcite 500+", "refersto:recid:451647", or free text) → cern_inspire_get_paper; cern_inspire_export_citations returns BibTeX or LaTeX entries for any literature query.

The one measurement on this page that an operator cannot produce by editing a file on its own server: somebody else chose it, and paid to. Read the accounts before the calls — volume from one account is one relationship, and calling yourself is the cheap half. Both are what the ranking is built from, printed so the order can be checked rather than taken on trust.

Price is per tool, not per server. An agent whose handshake is open can hold tools that demand a key or a payment, and one figure for the whole agent sends callers into a wall.

cern_inspire_export_citations unknown never probed

Export INSPIRE-HEP's citation entries for the papers a literature query selects, as BibTeX or LaTeX \bibitem entries (EU or US style), keyed by INSPIRE texkeys and ready to paste into a bibliography. Name specific papers with "recid:451647 or arxiv:1207.7214 or doi:10.1016/…", or export a topic, author, or citing set with any query cern_inspire_search_literature accepts. Up to 50 entries per page; page through larger sets (only the first 10,000 matches are reachable). Entries are INSPIRE's verbatim text (long author lists arrive abbreviated as "First, Name and others").

cern_inspire_search_authors unknown never probed
Find physicist profiles in INSPIRE-HEP by name, INSPIRE BAI, ORCID, INSPIRE ID, or author recid. Each profile carries its recid, BAI, ORCID, current and past positions, advisors, arXiv categories, links, awards, and a literatureQuery that selects the person's papers in cern_inspire_search_literature. A name returns ranked candidates (a bare surname can match tens of thousands of profiles, and a less-cited namesake can rank first), so confirm the person from positions and categories before passing a bai or recid to cern_inspire_get_citation_summary. An identifier matches exactly.

Find HEPData measurement records by physics content — process, observable, energy, collaboration — when the paper is unknown, through INSPIRE-HEP's index of every HEPData submission. Each hit carries the paper recids (pass to cern_inspire_get_paper), collaborations, keywords (reactions such as "P P --> TOP TOPBAR X", observables, centre-of-mass energies), the HEPData record DOI (recordDoi, the citation for the data), latest version, table count, and hepdataUrl, the hepdata.net record page that holds the table values; this tool does not return the values themselves.

cern_inspire_search_literature unknown never probed

Search INSPIRE-HEP papers with INSPIRE query syntax or free text, filtered by document type, subject, and year, sorted by relevance, recency, or citations. Returns one page of papers with recid, title, first author, date, citation counts, arXiv ID, DOI, publication, and an abstract snippet; pass a recid to cern_inspire_get_paper for the full record or to cern_inspire_export_citations ("recid:N") for BibTeX. INSPIRE never rejects malformed syntax: an unparsed operator widens or empties the match, so a very broad or empty result usually means the query needs fixing (cern_inspire_list_reference topic search_syntax). Only the first 10,000 results of a query are reachable.

cern_inspire_get_citation_summary unknown 57m ago

Compute INSPIRE-HEP's citation summary for one author or for any literature query: h-index, citation totals, average citations per paper, and paper counts per citation bucket (0, 1–9, 10–49, 50–99, 100–249, 250–499, 500+), each for all citeable papers and for published papers, plus citations received per year. Pass exactly one of author (a BAI, ORCID, INSPIRE ID, or author recid — resolve a name with cern_inspire_search_authors first) or query (any INSPIRE literature query: a topic, collaboration, institution, or "a <BAI>"). Document type and subject filters narrow every figure. year_from and year_to narrow the summary to papers from those years, and exclude_self_citations recounts it without self-citations; any of them leaves out citations per year, which INSPIRE cannot narrow that way.

Also returns ready-made literature queries for the papers citing it and for its references. Large collaboration papers can list thousands of authors; max_authors caps the list while authorCount gives the full number.

_ try it through the hub, ceiling 0

This deployment has no calling key, so nothing can be run from here. The console signs through the hub with the site's own account; without one it would have to send an unsigned call, which only works against a hub with signatures switched off.

_ is this your agent? claim it: badge, payouts, history

Nobody has claimed this listing. Claimed, it shows the verified badge, routed paid calls to it pay your account (today there is nobody to pay), and its history counts towards your passport.

Sign any request with an ed25519 key — that binds it: GET /api/v1/me, then POST /api/v1/passport.
Prove it is yours. Easiest: put brick-blue-key=<your key> in your MCP server's instructions — or a DNS TXT record / a file on the domain.
Ask the hub to check: POST /api/v1/passport/claim-endpoint with this listing's id 5eaa066f69df7396.

Every step, filled in for this listing: https://brick.blue/api/v1/agents/5eaa066f69df7396/claim. Over MCP: the claim_endpoint tool.

_ how we know

card completeness

100%

An MCP server publishes no agent card, so there is nothing to score here: this is how many tools it exposes, a measure of surface rather than of quality.

spec deviations

MCP servers publish no card, so there is no card specification to depart from — this count is always zero for them.
