OSF CLI Go
Browse authenticated OSF projects and files from your agent while gathering open-science references for a build or paper.
Overview
OSF CLI Go MCP is a MCP server for the Idea phase that provides read-only authenticated access to Open Science Framework projects and files.
What is this MCP server?
- Read-only MCP tools for OSF projects and files
- OCI image ghcr.io/edithatogo/osf-cli-go-osf-mcp:0.2.0 with stdio transport
- OSF_TOKEN preferred; username/password optional fallbacks
- Version 0.2.0 from GitHub edithatogo/osf-cli-go
- Authenticated access without granting write paths in the published description
- Server version 0.2.0
- Stdio transport via OCI package ghcr.io/edithatogo/osf-cli-go-osf-mcp:0.2.0
What problem does it solve?
Open-science research stalls when your agent cannot see your private OSF projects and files behind authentication.
Who is it for?
Researchers and indie builders mining OSF repositories during early idea validation and literature review.
Skip if: Teams that need to mutate OSF projects or upload datasets through MCP write tools.
What do I get? / Deliverables
After token setup, your agent can list and read OSF project content through stdio MCP tools without leaving the IDE.
- Agent-grounded summaries of OSF project structure and file metadata
- Repeatable read-only queries across your OSF workspace

How it compares
Read-only research repository MCP, not a financial filings server or citation audit writer.
Common Questions / FAQ
Who is OSF CLI Go MCP for?
Solo researchers and builders who already use OSF and want Claude Code, Cursor, or Codex to read their projects and files.
When should I use OSF CLI Go MCP?
Use it in the idea and research step when you need authenticated, read-only visibility into OSF assets before prototyping.
How do I add OSF CLI Go MCP to my agent?
Run the ghcr.io/edithatogo/osf-cli-go-osf-mcp:0.2.0 OCI image with stdio transport, set OSF_TOKEN (or username/password), and register the server in your MCP client.
