ieee_standard_search
Pack: ieee-standards · Endpoint: https://gateway.pipeworx.io/ieee-standards/mcp
Search IEEE STANDARDS by number or topic and get each standard’s title, abstract/scope, publication year, DOI and IEEE Xplore link. Covers the IEEE standards catalogue: IEEE 802.11 Wi-Fi / wireless LAN, IEEE 802.3 Ethernet, IEEE 1588 PTP precision time protocol, IEEE 1547 distributed energy resource interconnection, IEEE 1149.1 JTAG boundary scan, IEEE 754 floating point, IEEE 802.1AS timing, and the rest. Answers “what does IEEE standard X cover”, “which IEEE standard defines Y”, “find the IEEE 802.3 ethernet spec”, “latest revision of IEEE 1588”. Returns metadata plus the abstract; the normative clause text is sold by IEEE, so follow html_url to purchase or access it. Requires your own free IEEE Xplore API key via _apiKey (register an app at developer.ieee.org). Example: ieee_standard_search({ query: “802.11 wireless LAN”, limit: 5, _apiKey: “your-ieee-key” }). Example: ieee_standard_search({ query: “1588 precision time protocol”, year: 2019, _apiKey: “your-ieee-key” })
Parameters
| Name | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
query | string | yes | Standard number and/or topic keywords, e.g. “802.11 wireless LAN”, “1588 precision time protocol”, “802.3 ethernet”, “1547 distributed energy resources”, “754 floating point arithmetic”. |
year | number | no | Restrict to standards published in this year, e.g. 2020 (optional). |
limit | number | no | Max standards to return (default 10, max 50). |
start_record | number | no | 1-based offset for paging through a large result set (default 1). |
_apiKey | string | yes | Your IEEE Xplore Metadata API key, sent as the apikey query param. Free — register an app at https://developer.ieee.org. Approval can take a few business days, and a new key stays inactive until IEEE activates it. |
