Cortellis CCI MCP Server
Server-to-server (API) access
Use this option to call Cortellis CCI MCP Server from your own applications, agents or automated workflows, without an interactive sign-in. Requests authenticate with a Clarivate API key and speak the Model Context Protocol (MCP), so any MCP client library that can send a custom header can connect.
Prerequisites
- A Cortellis subscription that includes API access. Contact your Clarivate account manager to have it enabled for your organisation.
- An API key from the Clarivate Developer Portal: sign in, open the Cortellis CCI MCP Server API-key API, and subscribe an application to it. The key is issued to that application.
Connection details
| Endpoint | https://api.clarivate.com/lifesciences/mcp-cci/apikey/mcp |
|---|---|
| Protocol | Model Context Protocol (JSON-RPC 2.0) |
| Transport | Streamable HTTP |
| Authentication | API key in the X-ApiKey request header |
Example: list the available tools
curl -X POST 'https://api.clarivate.com/lifesciences/mcp-cci/apikey/mcp' \
-H 'X-ApiKey: <your API key>' \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-H 'Accept: application/json, text/event-stream' \
-d '{"jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1, "method": "tools/list"}'
Call a tool the same way with "method": "tools/call" and
"params": {"name": "<tool name>", "arguments": {...}}.
Good practice
- Keep the API key on your servers. Never embed it in a browser, mobile or desktop application.
- Content returned is governed by your organisation's Cortellis subscription and the Terms of Use below.
