PHOENIX MCP GATEWAY: TASK RECIPES Generated from the live catalog on 2026-09-20. Every tool named below is routable right now; nothing here is hypothetical. Price per tool call: $0.0001 (100 micro-USD). Cost of a recipe = number of tool calls x that price. Discovery is free and is not counted: server/discover, tools/list, registry endpoints, docs files. RECIPE 1 Goal: Combine arXiv with US Bureau of Labor Statistics: call `arxiv__arxiv_get_metadata`, then use what it returns as the input to `bls__bls_get_latest`. Servers: arXiv (arxiv), US Bureau of Labor Statistics (bls) Steps: 1. tools/call arxiv__arxiv_get_metadata -- Get full metadata for one or more arXiv papers by ID. Use when you have known IDs from citations, prior search results, or memory. 2. tools/call bls__bls_get_latest -- Return the single most recent observation for one or more BLS series. Use for "what is X right now" questions — the current unemployment rate, the latest CPI reading, etc. Each series consumes one ... Tool calls: 2 Cost: 2 x $0.0001 = $0.0002 (one attempt each) Attribution (arXiv): Thank you to arXiv for use of its open access interoperability. (requested, not required) Attribution (US Bureau of Labor Statistics): "BLS.gov cannot vouch for the data or analyses derived from these data after the data have been retrieved from BLS.gov", plus cite BLS as source RECIPE 2 Goal: Combine US Bureau of Labor Statistics with Crossref: call `bls__bls_get_latest`, then use what it returns as the input to `crossref__crossref_get_references`. Servers: US Bureau of Labor Statistics (bls), Crossref (crossref) Steps: 1. tools/call bls__bls_get_latest -- Return the single most recent observation for one or more BLS series. Use for "what is X right now" questions — the current unemployment rate, the latest CPI reading, etc. Each series consumes one ... 2. tools/call crossref__crossref_get_references -- Returns the outgoing reference list for a DOI — the works cited by this paper. Each reference includes the deposited citation string and, where Crossref has resolved it, a DOI you can look up with ... Tool calls: 2 Cost: 2 x $0.0001 = $0.0002 (one attempt each) Attribution (US Bureau of Labor Statistics): "BLS.gov cannot vouch for the data or analyses derived from these data after the data have been retrieved from BLS.gov", plus cite BLS as source RECIPE 3 Goal: Combine Crossref with Europe PMC: call `crossref__crossref_get_references`, then use what it returns as the input to `europepmc__clinical_trial_search`. Servers: Crossref (crossref), Europe PMC (europepmc) Steps: 1. tools/call crossref__crossref_get_references -- Returns the outgoing reference list for a DOI — the works cited by this paper. Each reference includes the deposited citation string and, where Crossref has resolved it, a DOI you can look up with ... 2. tools/call europepmc__clinical_trial_search -- Search ClinicalTrials.gov for studies by condition, intervention, or free-text query. Tool calls: 2 Cost: 2 x $0.0001 = $0.0002 (one attempt each) RECIPE 4 Goal: Combine Europe PMC with Frankfurter (ECB rates): call `europepmc__clinical_trial_search`, then use what it returns as the input to `frankfurter__get_supported_currencies`. Servers: Europe PMC (europepmc), Frankfurter (ECB rates) (frankfurter) Steps: 1. tools/call europepmc__clinical_trial_search -- Search ClinicalTrials.gov for studies by condition, intervention, or free-text query. 2. tools/call frankfurter__get_supported_currencies -- Returns a list of three-letter currency codes for the supported currencies. Tool calls: 2 Cost: 2 x $0.0001 = $0.0002 (one attempt each) Attribution (Frankfurter (ECB rates)): None required by Frankfurter itself; underlying ECB source requires citing ECB as source and, if resold, telling buyers the data is free elsewhere. RECIPE 5 Goal: Work through arXiv: Search arXiv preprints and open access scholarly papers: abstracts, authors, categories Servers: arXiv (arxiv) Steps: 1. tools/call arxiv__arxiv_get_metadata -- Get full metadata for one or more arXiv papers by ID. Use when you have known IDs from citations, prior search results, or memory. 2. tools/call arxiv__arxiv_list_categories -- List arXiv category codes and names. Useful for discovering valid category filters for arxiv_search. Lists subject classes only; arxiv_search also accepts a bare archive code (the part before the d... 3. tools/call arxiv__arxiv_search -- Search arXiv papers by query with category and sort filters. Returns paper metadata including title, authors, abstract, categories, and links. Tool calls: 3 Cost: 3 x $0.0001 = $0.0003 (one attempt each) Attribution (arXiv): Thank you to arXiv for use of its open access interoperability. (requested, not required) RECIPE 6 Goal: Work through US Bureau of Labor Statistics: US Bureau of Labor Statistics: unemployment, inflation, CPI, wages and employment series Servers: US Bureau of Labor Statistics (bls) Steps: 1. tools/call bls__bls_get_latest -- Return the single most recent observation for one or more BLS series. Use for "what is X right now" questions — the current unemployment rate, the latest CPI reading, etc. Each series consumes one ... 2. tools/call bls__bls_get_series -- Fetch time-series data for 1–50 BLS series by SeriesID in a single API request (one query against the 500/day limit). Supports optional year range (up to 20 years per request) and BLS-computed peri... 3. tools/call bls__bls_list_surveys -- List BLS survey programs with their abbreviation codes, full names, and metadata about calculation support and annual averages. Use to discover which survey covers a topic before calling bls_search... Tool calls: 3 Cost: 3 x $0.0001 = $0.0003 (one attempt each) Attribution (US Bureau of Labor Statistics): "BLS.gov cannot vouch for the data or analyses derived from these data after the data have been retrieved from BLS.gov", plus cite BLS as source RECIPE 7 Goal: Work through Crossref: Crossref DOI metadata: citations, journals, funders, bibliometric and scholarly lookups Servers: Crossref (crossref) Steps: 1. tools/call crossref__crossref_get_references -- Returns the outgoing reference list for a DOI — the works cited by this paper. Each reference includes the deposited citation string and, where Crossref has resolved it, a DOI you can look up with ... 2. tools/call crossref__crossref_get_member -- Resolves a Crossref member ID to its publisher/organization record: primary name, alternate imprint names, owned DOI prefixes, registered DOI counts, a per-work-type breakdown, and per-category met... 3. tools/call crossref__crossref_get_prefix -- Resolves a DOI prefix — the registrant portion of a DOI, e.g. "10.1038" — to its owning Crossref member: the publisher name and numeric member ID. Answers "who publishes DOIs starting with 10.1038?... Tool calls: 3 Cost: 3 x $0.0001 = $0.0003 (one attempt each) RECIPE 8 Goal: Work through Europe PMC: Europe PMC life science literature, open access full text index and clinical trials Servers: Europe PMC (europepmc) Steps: 1. tools/call europepmc__clinical_trial_search -- Search ClinicalTrials.gov for studies by condition, intervention, or free-text query. 2. tools/call europepmc__analyze_citations -- Analyze citation context for a paper using an LLM (requires an LLM provider). 3. tools/call europepmc__bib_merge -- Merge multiple BibTeX libraries, deduplicating by DOI. Tool calls: 3 Cost: 3 x $0.0001 = $0.0003 (one attempt each) HOW TO RUN A RECIPE 1. Authenticate with: Authorization: Bearer 2. POST each step to https://gateway.mcpharbor.dev/mcp as a tools/call request. https://gateway.mcpharbor.dev/agent.txt has the exact headers and a complete worked example. 3. Read each tool's parameters first, from tools/list or https://gateway.mcpharbor.dev/docs/tools/. Both free. 4. The costs above assume one call per step and no retries. Every POST is metered on its own: a step you send twice is two calls and two charges, because there is no client idempotency key. A call that failed upstream was refunded, so retrying that one costs nothing extra; a call you were charged for costs again. https://gateway.mcpharbor.dev/agent.txt, section 7, says which failures are which.
