# How to Research Technical Terms with Claude

Claude bridges technical and plain language through iterative clarification. Define a term in its technical sense, then explore how it differs from everyday usage, find simpler alternatives for non-expert audiences, and build a glossary through continued conversation. Each exchange helps you communicate more precisely across different readers.

## Setup

claude mcp add toolrouter -- npx -y toolrouter-mcp

## Steps

1. Connect ToolRouter: claude mcp add toolrouter -- npx -y toolrouter-mcp
2. Ask Claude: "Define the term heuristic using dictionary-words"
3. Claude returns the definition including technical senses
4. Ask: "Find synonyms that a non-technical audience would understand"
5. Bridge the gap between technical and plain language

## Example Prompt

```
Define "entropy" as used in both physics and information theory. Find simpler alternatives I can use in a blog post.
```

## Tips

- Ask Claude to explain which definition applies in your specific context
- Use synonyms to find plain-language alternatives for technical writing
- Combine both skills to build a glossary for your documentation
