CORE MCP connector

CORE is a global aggregator of open access research papers and articles from repositories and journals worldwide. The CORE MCP connector allows AI agents to search and retrieve academic articles by ID or similarity, access fulltext PDFs, and identify near duplicate publications across the collection. It also supports batch operations for retrieving multiple articles and journals by their identifiers, and provides access to article history and metadata.

Authentication type

• API Key - Requires a static API key to be configured before the agent can connect to the service.

Uses

Use the CORE MCP connector to perform the following actions:

• Discover peer-reviewed research papers matching your industry keywords and topics
• Retrieve full-text PDFs of articles to support evidence-based decision making
• Monitor article versions and citation history to track research evolution
• Identify duplicate or near-duplicate research to avoid redundant literature reviews
• Locate academic journals by ISSN and search their published content
• Find repositories and archives housing open-access research in your field
• Build cross-institutional research databases by harvesting articles at scale
• Analyze similar papers based on content to identify research gaps and trends
