Ask with this source
A prompt for your agent that names this source and how to call it through the crw MCP.
Monthly DOI and prefix counts
Use DOI.org (doi) from fastCRW Pergamon, capability "Monthly DOI and prefix counts" (monthly-counts). You want the historical growth of the DOI system - how many DOIs and prefixes existed in a given month - rather than resolution traffic or any single record. Use the crw MCP tools: crw_find_data to confirm the source and its options, then crw_get_data with provider "doi" and capability "monthly-counts". Tell me the credits used and cite the licence from the response. If the crw MCP tools are missing, install them with: npx -y crw-mcp install --api-key <your fastCRW API key>
DOI prefix record
Use DOI.org (doi) from fastCRW Pergamon, capability "DOI prefix record" (prefix). You have only the prefix part of a DOI (the 10.xxxx before the slash) and want to know who registered that prefix and which service handles it. Example options: prefix=10.1038, type=HS_SERV, index=1. Use the crw MCP tools: crw_find_data to confirm the source and its options, then crw_get_data with provider "doi" and capability "prefix". Tell me the credits used and cite the licence from the response. If the crw MCP tools are missing, install them with: npx -y crw-mcp install --api-key <your fastCRW API key>
DOI registration agency
Use DOI.org (doi) from fastCRW Pergamon, capability "DOI registration agency" (registration-agency). You want to know which agency registered a DOI - typically to decide whether to query Crossref or DataCite next - and you may want to ask about several DOIs at once. Example options: doi=10.5334/dsj-2017-040,10.1038/nature12373. Use the crw MCP tools: crw_find_data to confirm the source and its options, then crw_get_data with provider "doi" and capability "registration-agency". Tell me the credits used and cite the licence from the response. If the crw MCP tools are missing, install them with: npx -y crw-mcp install --api-key <your fastCRW API key>
DOI resolution statistics
Use DOI.org (doi) from fastCRW Pergamon, capability "DOI resolution statistics" (resolution-statistics). You want traffic or usage numbers for the DOI system as a whole - how many DOI resolutions happen, how fast, from which countries - not anything about a specific DOI. Use the crw MCP tools: crw_find_data to confirm the source and its options, then crw_get_data with provider "doi" and capability "resolution-statistics". Tell me the credits used and cite the licence from the response. If the crw MCP tools are missing, install them with: npx -y crw-mcp install --api-key <your fastCRW API key>
