Use the Scite connector well and safely

Gives your AI tool a careful way to search Scite's scientific literature: it confirms your signed-in account first, phrases focused queries, and reports what it found and what it could not confirm. It asks before any account or connection change.

Use it when

  • You want an AI assistant to find papers on a specific research question.
  • You need to check whether published studies support a scientific claim.
  • Scite stops responding or returns nothing and you want to know whether it is a dropped connection.

Tools it uses

Example

Find recent papers on CRISPR base editing off-target effects in human cell lines, and tell me which ones directly address it.

I searched Scite with two queries: "CRISPR base editing off-target effects human cell lines" and a broader version without the cell-line constraint. Three papers directly address off-target effects, and two related studies cover the broader editing method. I could not confirm full-text access for one of them, so I only have its abstract. Results are from the signed-in account you confirmed earlier.

How Scite skills work

  1. Connect Scite

    The Scite MCP server gives the agent its tools.

  2. Ask in plain words

    “Find recent papers on CRISPR base editing off-target effects in human cell lines, and tell me which ones directly address it.” Each SKILL.md says when it applies, so only the one that fits is loaded.

  3. Approve any change

    The agent calls the tools in order, checks its work, and shows you any change before it makes it.

How to install Scite skills

In RevampKey the skills install themselves when you connect Scite. In other tools each skill is one folder with a SKILL.md file, and you also need the Scite MCP server connected there.

Scite skills FAQ

What is a Scite agent skill?

A SKILL.md file: a short playbook an AI agent loads when your request matches it. Each Scite skill describes one job, which Scite tools to use in which order, what to check first and when to stop and ask you.

Do the Scite skills change anything on their own?

1 of the 1 only read. The others tell the agent to show you the change and wait for a yes before it creates, edits or deletes anything in Scite.

Which tools can use these skills?

Any agent that reads the open Agent Skills format: Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, VS Code with Copilot and RevampKey. In RevampKey they are attached when you connect Scite; elsewhere you copy the folders into your project or skills directory.

Do I need the Scite MCP server too?

Yes. The skills tell the agent how to do the work; the Scite MCP server gives it the tools to do it. The Scite MCP setup guide covers every client.
