The all-in-one AI plugin for Research Scientists

Skills for research scientists 17

• literature review assistantRuns your full review: search, synthesis, gap analysis, citation formatting. Example: turns 40 papers on soil carbon into a themed draft.
• agency litreviewBuilds a PICO search plan and Word research guide. Example: orients a new lab member on gut microbiome and sleep in one document.
• data interpretation assistantAnalyzes your dataset with stats, patterns, clusters, and forecasts. Example: finds the seasonal driver in two years of sensor readings.
• statistical analysisPicks and runs the right test with assumption checks and APA reporting. Example: reports a two-way ANOVA on reaction time by group and dose.
• experiment design plannerPlans a full experiment: variables, sample size, randomization, controls, ethics, timeline. Example: designs a 12-week greenhouse trial with three treatments.
• research trend analystFinds trends and gaps across papers, patents, and funding. Example: shows where battery recycling research is thinning out.

Plus a start-here assistant, the prompt library and the app builder, and for members the daily brief.

AI agents 12

In the download. An agent runs a whole recurring task for you, step by step, and asks you before anything important. Ask your AI: "Run the Research Literature Update Agent". Each one also has a guided set-up with sample data on its page.

• Research Literature Update AgentAn up-to-date evidence map with every new study screened.
• Scientific Unit Consistency AgentAn analysis working copy in which every calculation uses consistent, documented units.
• Research Method Comparison AgentA fair, source-linked methods comparison.
• Research Analysis Assumption AgentEvery analysis has its assumptions checked, with violations decided by the investigator.
• Phase Identification AgentAssign phases to a pattern with a documented fit and a list of anything left unexplained.
• Growth Curve Fitting AgentProduce growth parameters from every curve using the same documented fitting rules.
• Metagenome Classification Review AgentProduce a taxonomy table where disputed calls have been tested against an independent reference.
• Spike Sorting Quality Review AgentGive every session a reviewed unit list with documented quality for each unit.
• Imaging Preprocessing Quality AgentHave every subject either pass quality checks or have a documented exclusion before group analysis.
• Monte Carlo Validation AgentReach documented agreement between simulation and control data, or report the remaining gap.
• Process Parameter Window Study AgentDefine an operating window that the data actually support, with extra runs where it is thin.
• Variety Trial Ranking AgentA consistent, documented variety ranking with uncertainty and a clear note on any site-driven changes.

Connections (MCP servers) 12

A guide in the download. A connection lets your AI work in an app you already use. You add only the ones you use: ask your AI "Which apps can you connect to?" and follow the steps on each connection's page.

• Scholar MCP serverYour AI can search academic papers, read them, map citations, and save them into a personal library.
• NCBI PubMed MCP serverSearch PubMed's millions of research articles and get summaries, authors, and related papers through your AI.
• Google Scholar MCP serverLets your AI search Google Scholar and pull ready-made citations for papers you find. No install needed.
• Zotero MCP server (Zoteus)Lets your AI search your Zotero library, pull PDF passages with page numbers, and format citations. No install needed.
• Mendeley MCP serverLets your AI search your Mendeley library, read your papers, and organize your folders for you.
• Research Hub MCP serverLets your AI search for papers, save them to Zotero, and write notes into your Obsidian vault for you.
• Zotero MCP server (zotio)Lets your AI read and safely update your Zotero library, check for retracted papers, and keep notes in sync.
• Zotero MCP serverLet your AI search, read, and update your own Zotero library on your computer, even offline.
• arXiv MCP serverLets your AI search arXiv for research papers and pull up their details and full text. No install needed.
• Annota MCP serverLet your AI read your Zotero papers, highlight key findings, explain formulas, and save reading notes back to your library.
• MATLAB MCP serverLet your AI write and run MATLAB code, make interactive plots, and run long jobs for you.
• Paperboy MCP serverFind research papers, queue them in Zotero, and send the PDFs to your Kindle or Kobo.
