# OpenAlex integrations Connect OpenAlex to any other app, or use it from your AI client over MCP. OpenAlex is an open catalog of the global scholarly record. Callers can search and list works (papers, books, datasets) by title, abstract, or full-text search and filter them by publication year, open-access status, cited-by count, concept, institution, funder, or source, and fetch a single work by OpenAlex id, DOI, PMID, or ORCID-linked author. It also covers authors, institutions, sources (journals and repositories), publishers, funders, topics, and concepts, each listable, filterable, and retrievable by id, with grouped counts for aggregate analysis and autocomplete lookups by name. No credentials required. No account needed[openalex.org](https://openalex.org/) **7** actions What the catalog holds today.
