Claude Webtools Integration (Optional)

ScholarAIO is agent-first: users talk to an agent, and the agent orchestrates local ScholarAIO skills.
If you also want live web search/extraction, you can integrate AnterCreeper/claude-webtools as an external capability layer.

When to use this

  • You need internet discovery (news, latest announcements, online docs) in addition to the local paper KB.
  • You want the agent to combine:
  • ScholarAIO local retrieval (/scholaraio:search, /scholaraio:show, etc.)
  • external web lookup from claude-webtools.
  1. Install and configure claude-webtools by following its README.
  2. Keep ScholarAIO as the authoritative local knowledge pipeline (ingest/index/enrich).
  3. In agent workflows:
  4. use ScholarAIO first for reproducible local evidence;
  5. use webtools only when freshness or external coverage is required.

Operational guidelines

  • Prefer local KB evidence for stable academic claims.
  • For time-sensitive facts, cross-check via webtools and record access date.
  • When webtools is unavailable, agent should degrade gracefully to local-only ScholarAIO workflows.
