# How to Discover Recent Studies with Claude

Claude keeps you current through periodic search conversations. Run a topic search filtered to recent publications, then ask Claude to summarize key findings, compare them against established consensus, and identify which new results challenge existing assumptions. The dialogue adds analytical depth that raw search results lack.

1. Connect ToolRouter: claude mcp add toolrouter -- npx -y toolrouter-mcp
2. Ask Claude: "Find papers published this month on protein folding using academic-research"
3. Claude returns the latest papers sorted by relevance
4. Ask: "Summarize the key findings from the top results"
5. Set up periodic searches to stay current
