Preview access · not provider authentication

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

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

FAQ

Questions ORCID owners ask.

  • 01

    Can I search for researchers by their name or email address?

    Yes! Use the search capability with Solr syntax (e.g., family-name:Smith or email:user@example.com) to find matching records in the ORCID registry.

  • 02

    How do I retrieve the full details of a specific publication?

    First, use get_section with the section 'works' to find the item's put_code. Then, use the get_item capability with that code to fetch the complete metadata for that specific work.

  • 03

    Do I need a Member API account to add or update records?

    Yes. While reading public data works with the Public API, capabilities like create_item, update_item, and delete_item require Member API access and the useMemberApi configuration set to true.
