MCP Server

Clew provides a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server, enabling AI agents to verify reproducibility and trace provenance autonomously.

Installation

pip install scitex-clew[mcp]

clew mcp start

Add to your MCP client configuration (e.g., Claude Desktop, Cursor):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "scitex-clew": {
      "command": "clew",
      "args": ["mcp", "start"]
    }
  }
}
