scientify
Automatic and end-to-end scientific research workflow enabled by OpenClaw. Produces state-of-the-art level research results.
Scientify is a Claude Code plugin built on OpenClaw that enables autonomous, end-to-end scientific research workflows. Unlike traditional one-shot AI research tools, it implements a continuous 'metabolism' model that persistently monitors academic literature, accumulates knowledge, evolves hypotheses, and autonomously executes research from literature review through experimental validation. The plugin demonstrated state-of-the-art results in controlled studies, achieving nearly double the hypothesis validation rate compared to batch-processing approaches while reducing token costs by 92%. It integrates with Claude through OpenClaw's WebUI and provides specialized skills for research survey, hypothesis generation, algorithm selection, dataset validation, and paper writing.

scientify — FAQ
What is Scientify?+
Scientify is an OpenClaw plugin for Claude that enables autonomous scientific research with continuous knowledge metabolism. Unlike one-shot AI tools, it persistently monitors literature, accumulates knowledge in a Git-versioned database, and autonomously executes end-to-end research workflows from survey through experimental validation.
How do I install the Scientify plugin?+
First install OpenClaw globally with pnpm/npm and run 'openclaw onboard' to configure it. Then install Scientify with 'openclaw plugins install scientify' and restart the OpenClaw gateway. Access the WebUI at http://127.0.0.1:18789 to interact with the plugin's research skills.
Which AI clients work with Scientify?+
Scientify runs on OpenClaw's platform and integrates with Claude through OpenClaw's WebUI gateway. It requires Node.js 18+, Python 3 with uv, and git for knowledge base versioning.
What API keys or prerequisites are needed?+
You need an LLM API key configured during OpenClaw onboarding (Claude Opus 4.5+ or GPT-5+ recommended for best research quality). Python 3 with uv is required for ML code execution, and git is needed for knowledge base management. Optional integrations include Slack/Feishu for proactive notifications.
Is Scientify free to use?+
Scientify is open-source under the MIT license and free to install. However, it requires LLM API access (Claude or GPT), which incurs costs based on your usage. The plugin demonstrated 92% token cost reduction compared to batch-processing approaches in controlled studies.
How does the continuous metabolism mode work?+
The Heartbeat agent automatically checks for new papers daily, the Reflection agent explores cross-domain connections, and the Pipeline agent executes full research workflows. All knowledge accumulates in a persistent Markdown database, so each iteration builds on previous findings rather than starting from scratch.
How do I install scientify?+
Open the source repository on GitHub and follow its README. scientify is a plugin — MCP Agents Market links you directly to the official repo.
Is scientify free?+
scientify is an open-source project hosted on GitHub. Check the repository for its license and any usage requirements.
