# How to Find Sources and References with Claude

Claude makes Wikipedia a conversational knowledge source in your terminal where each answer naturally opens the door to deeper questions. Start with a quick fact check, follow the thread into related topics, pull full articles for the sections that matter most, and extract references for primary source verification -- all in one continuous session. The iterative approach mirrors how real research works, letting you build understanding progressively rather than committing to a single query upfront.

## Setup

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

## Steps

1. Connect ToolRouter: claude mcp add toolrouter -- npx -y toolrouter-mcp
2. Ask Claude: "Get the full Wikipedia article on climate change and extract all cited references using wikipedia-lookup"
3. Claude retrieves the article and lists its references
4. Ask: "Which of these are academic papers vs. news articles?"
5. Claude categorizes the sources by type for your research

## Example Prompt

```
I am writing a research paper on the economic impact of AI. Pull the full Wikipedia article on "Artificial intelligence" and extract all academic paper citations.
```

## Tips

- Wikipedia references sections are goldmines for finding primary sources
- Ask Claude to categorize references by type (academic, news, government reports)
- Use the references as a starting bibliography for deeper research
