Overview

## What Scite does

Scite answers research questions from peer-reviewed literature and returns the sources behind each response. What separates its output from a plain reference list is the treatment of how a cited study has been received: whether later work supported it, disputed it, or mentioned it in passing.

Ranking is done by a citation-based model built by the company, which orders results by how well a finding has held up in subsequent literature.

The practical effect is that a reader sees the claim, the source, and the state of the argument around it.

### Who it is for

Anyone checking whether a scientific claim has held up, from clinicians to science journalists.

### What stands out

Citations arrive with an indication of whether later studies backed or contested the finding, not just a reference string.

Availability

## Where Scite is listed

Scite ships this on both marketplaces: Scite is listed in the Claude connectors directory and in the ChatGPT apps directory, under the same publisher domain.

Only 392 of the 3,150 products in this directory are listed in both marketplaces. One MCP server can serve both surfaces; what differs is each platform's listing and review process.

### Example prompts from the listing

Claude listing

## In the Claude connectors directory

Scite publishes 1 tool to Claude, a deliberately narrow surface; only 0.7% of the 1,253 Claude-listed connectors expose fewer.

The median Claude-listed connector filed under Healthcare & Life Sciences publishes 6, so this one sits 5 tools below its bucket's median, 49th of 51.

It falls in the 1-3 tools band, which holds 16.4% of the Claude directory.

### Measured against the live endpoint

A direct call to the endpoint returned 25 tools, 24 more than the 1 the listing publishes. Probed 2026-08-07.

Scite publishes a remote MCP endpoint. Claude connects to it over HTTP; there is nothing to install locally.

Every connector in the Claude directory is remote, all 1,253 of them, so transport is not a differentiator there.

Snapshot

August 2026

Scite carries partner verification in the Claude directory, which 474 of 1,253 listings do (37.8%). That is a review step past self-publishing, not an Anthropic-built server.

In the publisher's words

## How Scite describes it

> Scite delivers answers grounded in peer-reviewed research you can verify. Each response is backed by real scientific sources, with citations that show how studies have been supported, disputed, or contextualized by other researchers. Behind the scenes, Scite’s proprietary citation-based ranking model prioritizes trustworthy, validated research, helping users move beyond claims to evidence.
