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 institution or specific keywords?

    Yes! Use the expanded_search capability with a Solr query like affiliation-name:"University of Oxford" to find researchers associated with specific organizations along with their profile details.

  • 02

    How do I retrieve the full list of publications for a specific ORCID iD?

    You can use the get_works capability by providing the researcher's ORCID iD. This will return a summary of all research works associated with that record.

  • 03

    Is it possible to add new research items to an ORCID profile using this server?

    Yes, if you have a Member API access token with the appropriate scopes, you can use the add_item capability to add works, funding, or other activities to a record.
