HEPData serves as a repository for publication-related data in the field of high-energy physics. The platform is designed to store, organize, and provide access to datasets associated with research publications, particularly those related to experiments at major particle physics collaborations such as ATLAS, ALICE, CMS, and LHCb at the Large Hadron Collider.
The service offers advanced search capabilities, allowing users to query data records by various fields including title, abstract, keywords, reaction types, center-of-mass energy, observables, resources, author affiliations, collaboration names, and publication year. Users can also search by unique identifiers such as Inspire record numbers, journal DOIs, and HEPData DOIs. The search functionality supports logical operators and range-based queries for efficient data discovery. Additional features include the ability to filter by analysis type, such as Rivet or MadAnalysis, and to locate records by resource type or specific URLs.
HEPData is aimed at researchers and professionals in high-energy physics who require access to structured experimental data for analysis, comparison, or further study. The repository is accessible via the web and provides guidance on file formats, submission processes, and advanced search syntax. The platform is powered by Invenio, funded by STFC, hosted and originally developed at CERN, and further supported by IPPP Durham.
hepdata-mcp sits in PulseGate's Infrastructure & Backend category. It enables researchers to discover and retrieve high-energy physics datasets programmatically using the MCP protocol. hepdata-mcp is an open-source project aimed at high-energy physics researchers. The project is open source (GPL-2.0). It runs on the web, the command line, and API, and it can be self-hosted.
Behind hepdata-mcp is HEPData, and the product first shipped in 2026. The project is developed in the open on GitHub with 6 commits in the last 90 days. Among its 5 catalogued features are dataset discovery, HEPData retrieval, and MCP protocol support. It exposes integrations via an MCP server and a public API.
