NIAID Data MCP Server

An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for the NIAID Data Ecosystem API, enabling LLMs to search biomedical research resources — datasets, clinical studies, publications, repositories, and more — funded or supported by NIAID.

Tools

niaid_data_query

Search the NIAID Data Ecosystem using Elasticsearch query string syntax.

Parameters:

Parameter Type Default Description
q string * Elasticsearch query string. Supports field-specific queries, boolean operators, and wildcards.
size int 10 Number of results to return (1–1000).
offset int 0 Number of results to skip (for pagination).
sort string Sort field; prefix with - for descending (e.g., -date).
fields string Comma-separated fields to return (e.g., name,description,@type).
aggs list[string] Fields to aggregate/facet by (e.g., ["@type", "conditionsOfAccess"]).
facet_size int 10 Max aggregation buckets per field (1–1000).
explain bool Include relevance score explanation.
response_format string markdown markdown for readable output, json for structured data.

Example queries:

  • q="COVID-19 AND @type:Dataset" — find COVID-19 datasets
  • q="*", aggs=["@type"] — summarize resource types across the whole catalog
  • q="malaria", sort="-date", size=20 — most recent malaria resources
