What you can do

Global Search — Search across all CORE resources including articles, journals, and repositories using a single text query.
Article Retrieval — Fetch full metadata, version history, and direct PDF download links for specific research papers using CORE IDs.
Journal & Repository Discovery — Search and inspect specific journals by ISSN or explore institutional repositories to find authoritative sources.
OAI Resolution — Resolve Open Archives Initiative (OAI) identifiers to access original metadata and repository pages.
Deep Metadata Inspection — Analyze article history and updates to ensure you are working with the latest scientific information.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How do I get the PDF of a specific research article?

Use the get_article_pdf tool with the CORE Article ID. The agent will return the direct download URL for the open access PDF version of the paper.

Can I search for specific journals or repositories?

Yes! You can use search_journals or search_repositories for general text queries, or use get_journal (with an ISSN) and get_repository (with a Repository ID) for direct lookups.

What does the OAI resolution tool do?

The resolve_oai tool takes an OAI identifier (like oai:oro.open.ac.uk:75049) and resolves it to the CORE metadata page or the original repository link, helping you find the source of the research.

How does Pydantic AI discover MCP tools?

Create an MCPServerHTTP instance with the server URL. Pydantic AI connects, discovers all tools, and generates typed Python interfaces automatically.

Does Pydantic AI validate MCP tool responses?

Yes. When you define result types as Pydantic models, every tool response is validated against the schema. Invalid data raises a clear error instead of silently corrupting your pipeline.

Can I switch LLM providers without changing MCP code?

Absolutely. Pydantic AI abstracts the model layer. your CORE (Open Access Research) MCP integration works identically with OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, or any supported provider.
