About

Lens (BYOK) lets an AI assistant read your own Lens data through the Lens API with a key you supply (Lens API access token (scholarly or patent API plan)). Read-only: 5 tools (search_scholarly_works, get_scholarly_work, find_scholarly_work_by_doi, search_patents, get_patent). The BYOK key travels with each request, is used for that one call only and is never stored, logged or cached; it is only ever sent to api.lens.org. Unofficial connector by Unify Dynamics LLC: not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by Lens. Lens and its logos are trademarks of their owners and are used only to say which service the connector works with.

Sources: Live from the Lens API (api.lens.org) with a BYOK key; documentation: https://docs.api.lens.org/getting-started.html. Endpoints checked against that documentation on 2026-10-16.

BYOK: bring your own keyThis connector uses your own Lens Lens API access token (scholarly or patent API plan). Create one at https://www.lens.org/lens/user/subscriptions, with the fewest permissions it needs (read-only if the provider offers it). Your assistant sends it in the X-Upstream-Key header with every request. It is used for that one call only: never stored, logged or cached, and only ever sent to Lens. Revoke it at the provider whenever you like. Unofficial connector: not affiliated with Lens.
