# Scite MCP: Use Scite in Slack and Email

Source: https://maito.app/integrations/scite

Connect the Scite MCP server to Maito with one sign-in, and your whole team can use it from Slack or email: “Has this 2019 study on intermittent fasting been backed up by later work?”

Scite gives answers grounded in research and shows how papers cite each other. Connect the Scite MCP server to Maito once, and everyone on your team can use Scite from Slack, by email, or from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Codex, Grok or Muse. Nobody else has to sign in.

## How to connect Scite

Open Connections in your workspace and choose Connect next to Scite. You sign in to Scite in a new tab, and that's the whole setup. Name the account and choose Workspace under who can use it. That's the only time anyone signs in: your whole team, shared chats and Loops can use Scite from then on. Or skip ahead and ask for the work: Maito sends you a link if Scite isn't connected yet.

## Questions

### What is the Scite MCP server URL?

Scite publishes it at https://api.scite.ai/mcp, and it signs in with OAuth, so there's no key to copy.

### Can I use the Scite MCP server from Slack?

Yes. Connect it to Maito once, then mention Maito in any Slack channel or send it a direct message. The same connection works by email and from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Codex, Grok or Muse.

### Does everyone on my team have to connect Scite?

No. One person connects it once and chooses Workspace. Then everyone in the workspace, shared chats and Loops can use Scite, without signing in themselves. Choose Only me instead to keep it to your own chats.

### Do I have to connect Scite before I ask?

No. If a request needs Scite and it isn't connected yet, your agent sends you a link. Connect it, and the work picks up where it stopped.

### Can I limit what Maito does in Scite?

Yes. After you connect, turn off any Scite tools you don't want Maito to use, such as the ones that change data. Tools Scite adds later stay off until you turn them on.
