README
DOAJ MCP — Directory of Open Access Journals. Curated peer-reviewed open-access journal index. No auth.
Part of Pipeworx — an MCP gateway connecting AI agents to 1394+ live data sources.
Tools
search_articles(query, page?, page_size?, sort?)search_journals(query, page?, page_size?, sort?)get_article(id)get_journal(id)
Data source
https://doaj.org/api/ — public, no auth needed. Generous rate limits.
Quick Start
Add to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):
{
"mcpServers": {
"doaj": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/doaj/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 Doaj data" })
The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.
