Complete set · 8 capabilities

The complete CORDIS — European Commission capability set.

These are the exact actions your AI can choose when you ask it to work with CORDIS — European Commission.

Capability set01 / 02

01-04

4 capabilities in this set.

Part of 8 available through CORDIS — European Commission.

  1. 01

    Get project factsheet

    3030/101178523). Returns: title, DOI, EC signature date, start/end dates, funding programme, total cost, EU contribution and coordinator with its funding. Use it to benchmark funding levels for a topic, find the coordinator institution, or check whether a project is still running. Full official factsheet for one EU-funded project: budget (EU contribution), dates, programme, coordinator and link

  2. 02

    Search all content

    Each row carries contentType ("article", "result", "project", ...) and kind (news / brief / projectDescription / exploitableResult ...) so you can see what exists for a topic before drilling down with search_projects, search_results or search_news_articles. Query is MANDATORY. Great first capability for open-ended questions like "what is the EU funding in solid state batteries?". Cross-content search over ALL CORDIS content types: projects, results, news articles, briefs and more

  3. 03

    Search results

    Each row links to the origin project (projectId). Use for technology scouting: finding EU-funded innovations available in a domain, tracking what competitors of a technology exist, or sourcing partners with proven results. Query is MANDATORY. Search exploitable R&I results published on CORDIS. technologies, prototypes and outcomes ready for transfer or commercialisation

  4. 04

    Search news articles

    This is the editorial coverage of EU-funded research. good for trends, success stories, policy signals and project summaries in readable form. Content arrives in multiple EU languages; pass language="en" to keep only English rows, or use search_content_by_language for other languages. Query is MANDATORY. Search CORDIS news articles and project briefs. how the EU reports on funded research

Capability set02 / 02

05-08

4 capabilities in this set.

Part of 8 available through CORDIS — European Commission.

  1. 05

    Find projects by programme

    Programme codes look like HORIZON.1 (Excellent Science), HORIZON.2 (Global Challenges & Industrial Competitiveness. clusters .1 Health to .6 Space...), HORIZON.3 (Innovative Europe / EIC), H2020, ERC. Pass a full code ("HORIZON.2.2"), a pillar ("HORIZON.3"), a family ("H2020") or any substring. matching is case-insensitive and prefix-based. Combine with a topical query (q is MANDATORY). See get_programme_reference for the full code tree. Find EU-funded content under a specific Horizon Europe pillar/cluster or programme (e.g. HORIZON.2.2, H2020, ERC)

  2. 06

    Search content by language

    CORDIS publishes project descriptions in many EU languages and the raw index interleaves them. this capability makes results readable when a single language is wanted (usually "en"). Query is MANDATORY. Search CORDIS keeping only content in a specific language (en, de, es, fr, it, pl, ...)

  3. 07

    Get programme reference

    1 Excellent Science, HORIZON.2 Global Challenges with clusters .1 Health to .6 Space, HORIZON.3 Innovative Europe incl. the European Innovation Council), the European Research Council (ERC), Horizon 2020 (H2020) and Euratom. Use it to interpret codes returned by search capabilities or to pick a filter for find_projects_by_programme. Reference: Horizon Europe / H2020 programme code tree used in CORDIS rows (pillars, clusters, EIC, ERC)

  4. 08

    Search projects

    Use projectId with get_project_factsheet for budget, dates and coordinator. Query is MANDATORY and full-text: combine topic + domain keywords, e.g. "carbon capture steel", "AI healthcare diagnostics", "quantum computing Portugal". Results come in multiple EU languages (see search_content_by_language to force English). This search does NOT list open funding calls. use it to study who was funded, on what topics, for how much. Search EU-funded research & innovation projects (Horizon Europe, H2020, ERC and earlier programmes) in the official CORDIS database

One connector, every AI

CORDIS — European Commission works with the most popular AI clients.

These are the most popular clients, each with a step-by-step guide: one link, set up once, with governance and visibility built in. And because everything runs on the MCP standard, the same connection also works in any other compatible client — nothing to rebuild.

Building your own app? The connector is yours to use.

You don't need a client to put CORDIS — European Commission to work: the same hosted connection plugs into your own applications and agent code, with the same governance on every request. Build with it, chat with it — one connection for both.

Connect your client

One URL. Every client.

Activate the Connector, copy your link, and paste it into the client you already use. 8 capabilities arrive ready to run.

Preview access · not provider authentication

The vk_preview_* token belongs to Vinkius preview infrastructure. It lets Claude discover and display the capabilities of CORDIS — European Commission, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

It does not authenticate your account with CORDIS — European Commission. Actions requiring credentials or live account data may not run until you activate the Connector and authorize the service.

FAQ

Questions CORDIS — European Commission owners ask.

  • 01

    Does this MCP list open funding calls I can apply to?

    No. CORDIS records funded projects and their outcomes, not open calls. Open calls live on the EU Funding & Tenders Portal. Use this MCP to study who was funded in your domain (topics, budgets, coordinators) and to source partners; then check the Funding Portal for live calls.

  • 02

    Do I need an API key, and why do results come in several languages?

    No key needed. CORDIS is fully public. CORDIS publishes content in many EU languages and the search index interleaves them; use search_content_by_language (e.g. language="en") or the language parameter on search_news_articles to keep a single language.
