CORE MCP connector
CORE is a global aggregator of open access research papers and articles harvested from repositories and journals worldwide. The CORE MCP connector allows AI agents to search and retrieve articles by CORE ID, ISSN, or similarity to a given text, and to access full-text PDFs and article histories. It also supports finding near duplicate articles, running batch searches and retrievals across large sets of documents, and looking up journal details by ISSN.
Authentication type
