## Usage

### Programmatic Usage (Python API)

Import and use the disambiguation agent in your code:

```python
import asyncio
from src import disambiguate_author

async def main():
    result = await disambiguate_author(
        first_name="Marie",
        last_name="Curie",
        institution="University of Paris"
    )
    
    if result['status'] == 'success':
        author = result['author_candidates'][0]['author']
        print(f"OpenAlex ID: {author['openalex_id']}")
        print(f"Name: {author['name']}")
        print(f"Institution: {author['institution']}")

asyncio.run(main())
```

📖 **See [API.md](API.md) for complete API documentation and examples**

### CLI Usage

```bash
# Basic usage
author-disambiguate --first-name "Marie" --last-name "Curie"

# With ORCID (most reliable)
author-disambiguate --name "Albert Einstein" --orcid "0000-0001-2345-6789"

# With institution
author-disambiguate --first-name "John" --last-name "Smith" --institution "MIT"

# With research context
author-disambiguate --name "Jane Doe" --context "machine learning, AI, neural networks"
```

### Works Search (NEW in v2.4.0)

Find academic papers and extract author information from works:

#### Python API

```python
import asyncio
from src import search_work

async def main():
    result = await search_work(
        title="The state of OA: a large-scale analysis",
        author_last_name="Priem",
        year=2018
    )
    
    if result['status'] == 'success':
        work = result['work']
        print(f"Work ID: {work['openalex_id']}")
        print(f"DOI: {work['doi']}")
        print(f"Title: {work['title']}")
        print(f"Author OpenAlex ID: {work['author_openalex_id']}")
        print(f"Author ORCID: {work['author_orcid']}")
        print(f"Author found: {work['author_found_in_work']}")
        print(f"Confidence: {work['match_confidence']}")  # 'direct' or 'agent'

asyncio.run(main())
```

#### CLI Usage

```bash
# Search by title only
author-work-search --title "The state of OA"

# Search with author validation
author-work-search --title "The state of OA" --author-last "Priem"

# Search with year
author-work-search --title "The state of OA" --author-last "Priem" --year 2018
```

#### How It Works

1. **Direct PyAlex Search** (fast, reliable):
   - Searches OpenAlex by title
   - Strict validation: normalized title must match
   - If author specified: validates author is in authorships list
   - Returns work ID, DOI, title, author OpenAlex ID, and ORCID

2. **Agent Fallback** (when direct search fails):
   - Uses Claude with full OpenAlex MCP toolset
   - Can handle fuzzy matches, alternate titles, subtitle variations
   - Falls back to web search for DOI if needed
   - More flexible but slower

**Returns structured JSON:**
```json
{
  "status": "success",
  "work": {
    "openalex_id": "https://openalex.org/W2741809807",
    "doi": "https://doi.org/10.7717/peerj.4375",
    "title": "The state of OA: a large-scale analysis...",
    "author_openalex_id": "https://openalex.org/A5023888391",
    "author_orcid": "https://orcid.org/0000-0001-6187-6610",
    "author_found_in_work": true,
    "match_confidence": "direct"
  }
}
```

### Benchmark Data Preparation

To generate benchmark data from the EMBO candidates Excel file, use the included script to add OpenAlex author IDs:

```bash
# Install additional dependencies (if not already installed)
pip install -r requirements.txt

# Run the script to add author IDs
python scripts/add_author_ids.py
```

This script will:
1. Read `data/embo_membership_candidates_with_work_ids.xlsx`
2. Query OpenAlex API for each work ID to extract author information
3. Match the specific EMBO candidate author by name from the work's author list
4. Add columns for the matched author: OpenAlex ID, name, ORCID, institutions, position, corresponding author status, and match confidence score
5. Save results to `data/embo_membership_candidates_with_author_ids.xlsx`

The script includes:
- Fuzzy name matching with confidence scores
- Progress bars and caching to avoid duplicate API calls
- Error handling for missing or invalid work IDs
- Match quality metrics (89.9% success rate, 11,332 high-confidence matches)

### Benchmark Evaluation

A unified benchmark script allows you to evaluate the agent on any dataset by mapping your column names:

```bash
# Basic benchmark with required fields
python scripts/benchmark.py \
    --input data/my_authors.xlsx \
    --first_name "FirstName" \
    --last_name "LastName" \
    --ground_truth "openalex_id" \
    -n 100

# With affiliation and context (keywords)
python scripts/benchmark.py \
    --input data/my_authors.xlsx \
    --first_name "FirstName,GivenName" \
    --last_name "LastName,FamilyName" \
    --affiliation "Institution,Affiliation" \
    --context "Keywords,ResearchArea" \
    --ground_truth "openalex_id,author_id" \
    -n 100
```

**Features:**
- **Flexible Column Mapping**: Specify multiple column name alternatives (first match wins)
- **Context Combination**: Combine multiple columns for richer context (e.g., keywords + research areas)
- **Automatic Filtering**: Excludes rows without ground truth automatically
- **Top-K Accuracy**: Reports Top-1, Top-2, and Top-3 accuracy
- **Detailed Reports**: JSON output with all results saved to `output/benchmark_TIMESTAMP.json`

**Column Specification:**
- Use comma-separated alternatives: `--first_name "first_name,FirstName,given_name"`
- First matching column in your Excel file will be used
- Missing columns are handled gracefully

**Results:**
- **95%+ accuracy** with keywords-only context (validated on 100 EMBO members)
- Same accuracy as full papers context - keywords are sufficient!
- See [KEYWORDS_BENCHMARK_ANALYSIS.md](KEYWORDS_BENCHMARK_ANALYSIS.md) for detailed analysis

### Basic Usage

```bash
# Using first and last name
python src/production_agent.py --first-name "Jerry" --last-name "Adams"

# Using full name
python src/production_agent.py --name "Jerry M. Adams"
```

### With Institution

```bash
python src/production_agent.py --first-name "Jerry" --last-name "Adams" --institution "WEHI"

# Or with multiple affiliations
python src/production_agent.py --name "John Smith" --affiliation "Harvard" --affiliation "MIT"
```

### With ORCID

```bash
python src/production_agent.py --first-name "Konrad" --last-name "Beyreuther" --orcid "0000-0002-3317-3069"
```

### With Email Search

```bash
python src/production_agent.py --first-name "Yves" --last-name "Barde" --orcid "0000-0002-7627-461X" --find-email
```

**Email Search Strategy:**

- Priority 1: Institutional directories (most reliable)
- Priority 2: Personal/Lab websites
- Priority 3: ORCID profiles
- Priority 4: Google Scholar
- Priority 5: ResearchGate/LinkedIn
- Priority 6 (Last Resort): Extract from most recent research article as last author

**Critical Requirements for Email Search:**

- Uses author's **LAST (most recent) affiliation** from OpenAlex
- For publication fallback: Must be **LAST AUTHOR** in most recent **RESEARCH ARTICLE**
- Not reviews, editorials, or other publication types

### With Context (Publications, Keywords, Topics)

```bash
# Provide research context (publications, keywords, research topics)
python src/production_agent.py --name "Researcher Name" --context "Known publications: Title 1, Title 2"

# Or with affiliation and context
python src/production_agent.py --first-name "John" --last-name "Smith" --affiliation "MIT" --context "machine learning, neural networks"
```

## Output Format

The agent returns structured JSON with enforced schema validation. **All responses use a unified schema** regardless of status.

### Key Features

- **Unified structure**: Same schema for all status types (success, ambiguous, not_found, error)
- **Always uses `author_candidates` array**: Even success cases return a single-element array
- **No confidence scores**: Evidence and concerns provide better assessment than arbitrary confidence labels
- **Ranked results**: Candidates ordered by evidence strength (rank 1 = strongest match)

### Output Schema

  }
}
```

## Workflow

1. **Step 0**: Quick OpenAlex check with available info (ORCID, name+institution, or name only)
2. **Step 1**: EMBO member directory search (if found, use curated ORCID → skip to Step 5)
3. **Step 2**: General web search for institutional profiles and ORCID
4. **Step 3**: PubMed search for publications and affiliations
5. **Step 4**: Build comprehensive researcher profile
6. **Step 5**: OpenAlex verification with MCP tools
7. **Step 6**: Return JSON-only results with confidence scores

## MCP Server Tools

All search tools now include **domain awareness** and return the primary research domain for each author.

### `search_authors_by_name(name, per_page=200, preferred_domain=None)`

Basic name search returning up to 200 results. Optional `preferred_domain` parameter ranks results by domain relevance.

- **Domains**: `"life_sciences"`, `"health_sciences"`, `"physical_sciences"`, `"social_sciences"`
- Returns: Author profiles with `primary_domain` field and `top_concepts`

### `search_authors_by_orcid(orcid)`

Most reliable search method when ORCID is available. Returns single author profile with domain information.

### `search_authors_by_name_and_institution(name, institution_name, per_page=200, preferred_domain=None)`

Two-step filtered search: finds institution ID first, then searches authors affiliated with that institution. Optional `preferred_domain` parameter ranks results by domain relevance.

### `get_author_details(openalex_author_id)`

Complete author profile including affiliations, research topics, h-index, publication counts by year.

### `get_author_recent_works(openalex_author_id, per_page=10)`

Recent publications for identity verification, including journal, DOI, citations, and author affiliations.

## Domain Classification

The MCP server automatically determines the primary research domain for each author based on their publication concepts:

- **Life Sciences**: Biology, genetics, molecular biology, neuroscience, microbiology, ecology, immunology
- **Health Sciences**: Medicine, clinical research, pharmacology, epidemiology, public health, oncology
- **Physical Sciences**: Physics, chemistry, astronomy, materials science, quantum mechanics
- **Social Sciences**: Economics, sociology, psychology, political science, education, linguistics

Domain ranking helps disambiguate authors with common names by prioritizing candidates in the expected research field.

## MCP Architecture Details

This project implements the **Embedded MCP Pattern**, recommended by Anthropic for connecting agents to data sources like APIs and databases.

### Why MCP?

1. **Clean Separation**: MCP module (`src/openalex_mcp/`) separates data access from agent logic
2. **Testable**: MCP tools can be tested independently of the agent
3. **Reusable**: Tools can be extracted to standalone MCP server if needed
4. **Maintainable**: Clear boundaries between concerns
5. **Performance**: Direct async function calls (no stdio overhead)

### Architecture Layers

```text
Layer 1: Production Agent (src/production_agent.py)
  ↓ imports and calls
Layer 2: MCP Core Tools (src/openalex_mcp/core_tools.py)
  ↓ wraps with async
Layer 3: OpenAlex Tools (src/tools/openalex_tools.py)
  ↓ uses
Layer 4: PyAlex Library (pip package)
  ↓ calls
Layer 5: OpenAlex REST API
```

## Known Issues

1. **System Prompt Size**: Large prompt (includes full OpenAlex API guide) causes high token usage
   - ~40K input tokens per request
   - Consider extracting guide to separate documentation or using prompt caching
2. **Domain Classification Accuracy**: Occasional misclassification of research domains
   - Some life sciences researchers classified as social sciences
   - Evidence from publications usually clarifies
