# KORE — AI Connector KORE publishes 2 MCP tools to Claude. Marketplace availability, tool surface, verification tier, and what Node8 measured against the live endpoint. Source: https://node8.ai/ai-connectors/healthcare/kore/ --- [AI Connectors](https://node8.ai/ai-connectors/) · [Healthcare & Life Sciences](https://node8.ai/ai-connectors/healthcare/) # KORE Query a lab's extracted instrument and protocol metadata Listed in Claude · 2 published tools · Community-listed [Claude connector docs](https://kore.gravl.io/setup) [gravl.io](https://gravl.io) Overview ## What KORE does KORE extracts metadata and intellectual work product from the things a laboratory generates and then buries in folders: instrument runs, manuscripts, grant material and protocols. Extraction happens once at the source, and what remains is a structured archive compact enough to be reasoned over rather than searched blindly. The connector is read only. It is aimed at genomics laboratories and university core facilities, and the publisher is explicit about the boundary: instrument and intellectual output only, never patient data, never IRB regulated content, never raw sequence files. The endpoint answered without credentials, so the tool shape is visible even though the archive behind it is not. ### Who it is for Genomics laboratory managers and university core facility staff. ### Tool surface Three tools answered against a published two, the extra being aggregate\_kore, which turns the archive into grouped counts and rates rather than records, while search\_kore and get\_record cover retrieval and nothing writes. Availability ## Where KORE is listed KORE is listed in the Claude connectors directory only. GRAVL, Inc. has no app under the same domain in the ChatGPT directory; 392 of the 3,150 products here are on both marketplaces, and this is not one of them. The MCP server behind a Claude connector is usually the same server a ChatGPT app would need, so the absence is a distribution decision rather than a technical one. Claude listing ## In the Claude connectors directory KORE publishes 2 tools to Claude, a deliberately narrow surface; only 5.3% of the 1,253 Claude-listed connectors expose fewer. The median Claude-listed connector filed under Healthcare & Life Sciences publishes 6, so this one sits 4 tools below its bucket's median, 43rd of 51. It falls in the 1-3 tools band, which holds 16.4% of the Claude directory. ### Measured against the live endpoint A direct call to the endpoint returned 3 tools, 1 more than the 2 the listing publishes. Probed 2026-08-07. #### Tools the server actually returns - `search_kore` - `get_record` - `aggregate_kore` KORE publishes a remote MCP endpoint. Claude connects to it over HTTP; there is nothing to install locally. Every connector in the Claude directory is remote, all 1,253 of them, so transport is not a differentiator there. Publisher GRAVL, Inc. Verification Community-listed (61.5% of the Claude directory) Filed under Health & Life Sciences Endpoint `https://mcp.gravl.io/mcp` Documentation [Publisher setup docs](https://kore.gravl.io/setup) Published tools 2 · 1-3 tools band Depth rank in Healthcare & Life Sciences 43 of 51 Snapshot August 2026 KORE is community-listed in the Claude directory, the tier 770 of 1,253 connectors sit in (61.5%). It is the default for a self-published server, and says nothing either way about quality. In the publisher's words ## How GRAVL, Inc. describes it > KORE is the structured substrate that makes Claude a research partner for laboratory scientists. The platform extracts metadata and intellectual work product from instruments, manuscripts, grants, and protocols once at the source, then makes that knowledge available to Claude through compact reasoning-ready context. Two read-only tools; search\_kore and get\_record. Let Claude query a scientist's extracted KORE corpus and retrieve focal records with neighboring context for compositional reasoning. Designed for genomics labs and university core facilities. KORE captures instrument and intellectual work product only; never patient data, IRB-regulated content, or raw sequence files. Quoted from the connector's own Claude directory listing as captured in August 2026. Node8 did not write it and does not vouch for it.
