Part of Pipeworx — an MCP gateway connecting AI agents to 250+ live data sources.

Tools

Tool	Description
`search`	Search datasets / files / dataverses.
`dataset`	Dataset metadata by DOI persistent id (e.g. "doi:10.7910/DVN/...").
`dataset_files`	List files in a dataset.
`dataverse`	Dataverse (collection) metadata by alias or id.

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

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

Or connect to the full Pipeworx gateway for access to all 250+ data sources:

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

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

ask_pipeworx({ question: "your question about Dataverse Harvard data" })

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