OpenAlex integration for AI agents

Insiro connects AI agents to OpenAlex so they can act in it under your rules. OpenAlex is an open catalog of scholarly works, authors, institutions, sources, topics, and research metadata. Use it to discover research and enrich apps with structured academic metadata. Every OpenAlex action runs through Insiro's governed gateway, using each person's own connection (API key).

Frequently asked questions about OpenAlex

Can Insiro AI agents use OpenAlex?

Yes. Insiro connects AI agents to OpenAlex through its governed MCP gateway. Agents can answer questions in plain English over the data and refresh reports on a schedule using each person's own OpenAlex access, with read-only as the default and approvals for actions that change data.

How does Insiro connect to OpenAlex?

OpenAlex connects with API key. Each user connects their own account once; Insiro stores the credential encrypted and brokers it to the tool only at the moment of a call, so models never see it. Admins can also register a workspace-level connection.

Can I make OpenAlex read-only for agents?

Yes. In Insiro Governance, set OpenAlex to Off, Read only, or Read and write in a click. Write actions can require confirmation or owner approval by risk tier, and every call is logged with the user, tool, tokens and cost.
