mcp-retractions

Retractions / research-integrity MCP.

Part of Pipeworx — an MCP gateway connecting AI agents to 1394+ live data sources.

Tools

Tool

Description

check_retraction

Check whether a paper (by DOI) has been retracted, according to Crossref/Retraction Watch (keyless). Returns retracted:true/false with the evidence (title marker + retraction-notice link). NOTE: 'not retracted' means no retraction is on record — coverage depends on the publisher, so it is not definitive proof the paper is clean.

search_retractions

Search the retracted literature (Crossref update-type:retraction, ~73k works) by keyword, optionally filtered by subject and publication year range. Returns retracted works with DOI, title, journal and date.

Related MCP server: crossref-mcp

Quick Start

Add to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "retractions": {
      "url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/retractions/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Or connect to the full Pipeworx gateway for access to all 1394+ data sources:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pipeworx": {
      "url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Using with ask_pipeworx

Instead of calling tools directly, you can ask questions in plain English:

ask_pipeworx({ question: "your question about Retractions data" })

The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.
