openalex_resolve_name
shallowio.github.cyanheads/openalex-mcp-server · Verify this server
Resolve a name or an identifier to an OpenAlex ID. ALWAYS use this before filtering by entity — names are ambiguous, IDs are not. A name returns up to 10 autocomplete matches with disambiguation hints. An identifier — OpenAlex ID, DOI, ORCID, ROR, PMID, PMCID, or ISSN, bare or in URL form — resolves directly to the one record it addresses, and needs no entity_type.
