`osf_search_preprints`

Pack: osf · Connect: https://pipeworx.io/mcp (see Connect below for a single-pack URL)

No MCP client? Call it directly: GET https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/osf_search_preprints for the schema, then POST the same URL with its arguments for the data.

OSF: search public preprints by title (Open Science Framework, by the Center for Open Science). Returns id, title, description, publication date, DOI, and tags. Keyless public data; the API can be slow.

Parameters

Name	Type	Required	Description
`query`	string	yes	Title search text, e.g. “machine learning”.
`limit`	number	no	Max results (default 15, max 50).
