I am going to create an web app using Dot Net Core. In future, i will also create mobile application for the same application. Now, i am in thinking the architecture of the project. I want to use WEB API core using Asp.net Identity Core. Also, i will consume WEB API in MVC Core application. But the question i have in mind that how i can handle ASP.net identity with MVC and WEB API? Do i need to include in MVC as well or only in WEB API?
I tried to think hard but still confuse. Need suggestions.
You can use token based authentication .
In a resource owner flow scenario , your client app( mvc application/native application) will consume your web api by providing user's credential , web api will validate the credential(using ASP.NET Core Identity) in database , If the username and password are correct then a JWT authentication token and the user details are returned. Your client app could validate the token and sign in user :

In addition, IdentityServer4 is a good choice when you want to roll your own full-fledged OpenID Connect authorization server that can handle complex use cases like federation and single sign-on.
So your question is maybe a bit open-ended for Stackoverflow and you don't really show what you have tried so far.
I will try to answer though. First you just need to start out with a template for your project. Start an MVC project in which you can easily have API endpoints as well. I would suggest splitting those in two projects for clarity - but if it is just a small personal project then you probably are fine having them in the same project. Microsoft have a pretty good resource on MVC:
For the Identity part. You would need some kind of authority for it to work. I suggest you take a look at IdentityServer4. Which offers an excellent walk-through of how to set it up and how to integrate it with Asp.NET Core Identity:
