Claude Code for Researchers

Claude Code is one of the best coding agents available. It just wasn't built with research in mind. Connecting the Scite MCP changes that, and this session shows you exactly what opens up when it does.

Once connected, 280M+ papers, patents, grants, and clinical trials become available directly inside your Claude Code workflow. Verify references before submission. Trace how a landmark finding has been supported or challenged over time. Surface research gaps. Reproduce validated methods directly into code. We'll set it up live, walk through the use cases, and then build two fully interactive dashboards on screen from start to finish.

What we'll cover:

• A quick overview of Claude Code and AI coding agents
• Why Claude Code is a different tool for researchers once the Scite MCP is connected
• A live setup walkthrough: connecting the Scite MCP in under two minutes
• Use cases researchers are already running: verifying references, tracing citation lineage, flagging contradictions, surfacing research gaps, and reproducing validated methods in code
• Two fully interactive dashboard builds, start to finish, constructed on screen
• How Smart Citations work as a ranking and trust signal inside your AI workflow
• Prompting patterns that produce clean, citable, reproducible outputs

After the session, we'll share prompt examples so you can build your own interactive dashboards the same day.

Who this is for:

• Researchers already using Claude Code, Codex or Cursor
• Lab leads and R&D teams building or evaluating internal research tools
• Librarians and research support staff evaluating AI-augmented workflows
• Developers curious about what Claude Code can do when connected to a research-grade data source

No AI expertise required. Just bring curiosity about what's possible.
