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.
Recommended setup¶
- Install and configure
claude-webtoolsby following its README. - Keep ScholarAIO as the authoritative local knowledge pipeline (ingest/index/enrich).
- In agent workflows:
- use ScholarAIO first for reproducible local evidence;
- 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.
