One URL. Every client.

Preview access · not provider authentication

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

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

FAQ

Questions CORE owners ask.

  • 01

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

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

  • 02

    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.

  • 03

    What does the OAI resolution capability do?

    The resolve_oai capability 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.
