There is a parser, typechecker, interpreter, and printer for Core in
ghc/utils/ext-core in the fptools distribution. The typechecker and
interpreter don't work on Core produced by the latest version of GHC,
but the parser and printer should still work OK. It's a lot easier
than linking your code with code from GHC!
