Security check

How secure is the Crossref Scholarly Data MCP server?

Every server in the gate directory has to pass the same four checks before your AI can touch it. Here's how Crossref Scholarly Data holds up.

✓ Verified directory serverCrossref Scholarly Data · apify.com

Official endpoint

Operated by Crossref Scholarly Data (apify.com) at its documented MCP endpoint — not a third-party mirror or community re-host.

OAuth sign-in — your account, your rules

You grant access from your own Crossref Scholarly Data account and can revoke it there at any time. gate never sees your password.

Scanned before it goes live

gate checks every tool for prompt injection, hidden instructions, data-exfiltration hints, and over-broad permissions before the server is available through your gateway.

Watched for drift

If Crossref Scholarly Data adds or changes tools later, gate re-scans and alerts you — before your AI acts on the change.

Crossref Scholarly Data's server requires OAuth, so it can't be scanned anonymously — connect it in gate and the same scan runs automatically before it goes live.

Is there an official Crossref Scholarly Data MCP server?

Yes — Crossref Scholarly Data operates its own remote MCP server at aligned-kettledrum--crossref-mcp-server.apify.actor. gate connects you to that official endpoint and adds security scanning, per-tool access rules, and an activity log on top.

Add gate's gateway URL to your AI client once, then pick Crossref Scholarly Data in the directory. You sign in to Crossref Scholarly Data via OAuth to grant access. From then on, Crossref Scholarly Data's tools are available in every client you've connected to gate.

Do I need to host anything?

No. Crossref Scholarly Data runs the server, and gate is fully managed. You just connect one URL — there's nothing to install, deploy, or maintain.

Is the Crossref Scholarly Data MCP server safe to connect?
