What Figshare (BYOK) is for

Figshare (BYOK) lets an AI assistant read your own Figshare data through the Figshare API with a key you supply (Figshare personal token). Read-only: 11 tools (get_account, list_my_articles, get_my_article, list_my_collections, list_my_projects, search_public_articles, list_public_articles, get_public_article, list_article_files, list_public_collections, get_public_collection). The BYOK key travels with each request, is used for that one call only and is never stored, logged or cached; it is only ever sent to api.figshare.com. Unofficial connector by Unify Dynamics LLC: not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by Figshare. Figshare and its logos are trademarks of their owners and are used only to say which service the connector works with.

Ask your assistant things like:

• "How much Figshare storage have I used?"
• "What datasets do I have in my Figshare account?"
• "Show the details and files of my Figshare item 3623549"
• "Which Figshare collections do I own?"
• "Which Figshare projects am I part of?"
• "Find public Figshare datasets about coral reef bleaching"

What it does

• get_account: Show the Figshare account the token belongs to: name, ORCID, storage quota and quota used.
• list_my_articles: List the items (articles, datasets, software) in your own Figshare account, including private drafts, with title, DOI and dates.
• get_my_article: Get one of your own items, including drafts: description, tags, categories, license, authors and files.
• list_my_collections: List the collections in your own Figshare account with title, DOI and publication date.
• list_my_projects: List the projects you can access in Figshare with your role and storage type.
• search_public_articles: Search public Figshare items (datasets, papers, posters, software) by text, with optional item type and date filters.
• list_public_articles: List public Figshare items, newest first by default, filtered by item type, institution, DOI or dates.
• get_public_article: Get one public Figshare item with description, authors, tags, categories, license, citation and file list.
• list_article_files: List the files of a public Figshare item with name, size, MIME type, checksum and download URL.
• list_public_collections: List public Figshare collections (curated groups of items) filtered by institution, DOI or dates.
• get_public_collection: Get one public Figshare collection with description, authors, tags, categories and the number of items.

BYOK key

You bring your own Figshare Figshare personal token (https://figshare.com/account/applications). Your assistant sends it in the X-Upstream-Key header with each request. ConnectorBay uses it for that one call only: it is never stored, logged or cached, never shown in an answer, and it is only sent to api.figshare.com over https, with no redirects followed. Create a key with the fewest permissions the tools need (read-only if the provider offers it), and revoke it at the provider whenever you like.

Data sources

• https://docs.figshare.com/ (the API this connector calls, with a BYOK key)

What it is not

Unofficial connector by Unify Dynamics LLC: not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by Figshare. Figshare and its logos are trademarks of their owners and are used only to say which service the connector works with. It is read-only: it never creates, changes, sends or deletes anything in your Figshare account.

Figshare (BYOK) — Privacy Policy

Effective 24 October 2026. Unify Dynamics LLC ("we", "us"), Menlo Park, California.

What Figshare (BYOK) is. Figshare (BYOK) is a connector (an MCP server and REST API) that an AI assistant calls on your behalf to read your own Figshare data: Search public Figshare research data, papers and software, and read your own private items, collections and projects with your own personal token. You bring your own Figshare Figshare personal token; the assistant sends it to us with each request.

BYOK key. The key you supply is used to make the one Figshare call you asked for. Our application does not store it, write it to a log, put it in a cache, or share it. It is sent only to api.figshare.com, over https, and is removed from any text we return to you or your assistant. We do not follow redirects with your key. If Figshare rejects it, we say so without repeating it.

What we receive. The arguments of each tool call, the BYOK key (for that call only), the technical headers needed to serve the request (an IP address or a client identifier supplied by the assistant) and standard server logs. What Figshare receives. The request we make on your behalf, including the key and the arguments, under Figshare's own terms and privacy policy. Figshare acts at your direction and is the only recipient of the data of your request besides our hosting provider.

What we return. The answer Figshare gives for your request, trimmed to the fields the tool documents. We do not keep it: it is returned to your assistant and not stored, cached or used to train anything.

What we do not do. We do not build a profile, sell or share personal information, or keep your Figshare data. Rate-limit counters (a client identifier and timestamps) are held in memory for at most 24 hours. Hosting access logs (IP addresses, request paths and status codes) are kept for up to 30 days for security and abuse prevention; our application adds no request headers or bodies to them.

Sub-processors. Figshare (the API you call with a BYOK key, at your direction). Hosting: Vercel (United States regions).

Your rights. Because we store no personal data beyond short-lived logs, requests to access, correct or delete data are usually satisfied automatically; you can still contact agent@connectorbay.com and we will respond within 30 days. Revoke your key at Figshare at any time to end all access.

Children. Figshare (BYOK) is a general-audience service operated by the adult using the assistant, under Figshare's own age rules.

Changes. We will post changes here with a new effective date.
