Ask with this source

A prompt for your agent that names this source and how to call it through the crw MCP.

  • Author record

    Use OpenAlex (openalex) from fastCRW Pergamon, capability "Author record" (author). You hold an ORCID or an OpenAlex author id and want that researcher's full profile and output metrics. Example options: id=A5023888391, select=id,display_name,orcid,summary_stats. Use the crw MCP tools: crw_find_data to confirm the source and its options, then crw_get_data with provider "openalex" and capability "author". 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>

  • Search authors

    Use OpenAlex (openalex) from fastCRW Pergamon, capability "Search authors" (authors). You want to find researchers by name, institution or output, rather than look up one you already identify. Example options: search=jason priem, filter=last_known_institutions.country_code:gb, sort=cited_by_count:desc. Use the crw MCP tools: crw_find_data to confirm the source and its options, then crw_get_data with provider "openalex" and capability "authors". 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>

  • Autocomplete entity names

    Use OpenAlex (openalex) from fastCRW Pergamon, capability "Autocomplete entity names" (autocomplete). You have a partial or ambiguous name and need the OpenAlex id before calling any other capability. Example options: entity_type=works, q=crispr, filter=publication_year:2024. Use the crw MCP tools: crw_find_data to confirm the source and its options, then crw_get_data with provider "openalex" and capability "autocomplete". 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>

  • Search research funders

    Use OpenAlex (openalex) from fastCRW Pergamon, capability "Search research funders" (funders). You want to identify who funds research in an area, or look up a funding agency's footprint. Example options: search=wellcome trust, filter=country_code:us, sort=grants_count:desc. Use the crw MCP tools: crw_find_data to confirm the source and its options, then crw_get_data with provider "openalex" and capability "funders". 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>
