MCP servers

dimensions-analytics-mcp

by digital-science

An MCP server that connects AI assistants such as Claude Desktop, Cursor and VS Code to Dimensions, a database of research publications, grants and researchers. It lets you search and analyse that data by asking questions in plain language.

What you can do with it

  • Search publications, grants, researchers and reports by asking your AI assistant
  • Look up a DOI or Dimensions ID and find similar documents from an abstract
  • Run analytics and trend queries on research data

Make money with it

A freelance researcher could offer faster literature reviews or funding landscape reports to clients, using their own Dimensions access.

An idea, not financial advice. Check the licence before charging for anything built on it.

Ways a business could use it

  • Speed up literature and grant landscape research for a consultancy or R&D team
  • Check competitor or funder activity in a research field without manual database searching

Can you use it commercially?

Not legal advice. Read the project's licence file before building a product on it.

Add it to Claude Code

claude mcp add analytics-mcp -- npx -y @digital-science-dsl/dimensions-analytics-mcp

It needs DIMENSIONS_API_KEY (a secret key). A key usually means a paid or sign-up service behind it, so check its pricing.

From the official MCP Registry (ai.dimensions/analytics-mcp). Only connect MCP servers you trust: they can act on your behalf.

Getting it running

Install the Claude Desktop extension file, or run the guided installer script (needs Node.js 20+), then add your Dimensions API key; a hosted server option also exists.

Follow the official instructions in the project README.

Things to check

  • Needs a Dimensions API key, which comes from a paid account or quote
  • The repository has no licence listed in its facts, although the README says MIT
  • Sends usage metadata to Digital Science with each request
  • Only 6 stars, so a small user base

earshot Leonxlnx
New and promising

Earshot is a toolkit that lets AI coding agents analyse and describe audio, check how well sound fits a description or a video, and create their own sound effects in code. It runs locally on a CPU as a command-line tool, a Python library or an MCP server.

cueframe-mcp cueframe-ai
New and promising

CueFrame is a hosted video service that lets an AI assistant, a command-line tool or a REST API create, edit, caption and render video as editable projects. This repository holds the connection tools and skill packs that link agents such as Claude Code, Codex and Cursor to that service.
