Get going in one command
Install the CLI:Thesis
A graph-based research workspace. Hypotheses, experiments, sources, and decisions live as durable, branchable nodes. Ships an 86-tool MCP server for Cursor, Claude Code, Codex, and other agent hosts.- Introduction. What Thesis is for and how it works.
- Quickstart. Sign in, create your first node, index a source, talk to the agent.
- Web app tour. Every UI area explained.
Thesis MCP
Connect Thesis to the agent host you already use. The setup helper writes the MCP config for every detected host in one command.- MCP quickstart.
npx --yes @synsci/thesis setup. - Supported hosts. Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, OpenCode, and more.
- MCP tools reference. All 86 tools by category.
Synsci CLI
A terminal agent for scientific work. The binary issynsc. Pick a research mode and the agent loads the right domain conventions, tools, and backends for the work.
- Introduction. What
synscis and what each research mode covers. - Installation.
npx synscidoes the entire setup. - Quickstart. Connect, pick a mode, send your first prompt.
Research modes
| Mode | For |
|---|---|
| Research | Cross-disciplinary work, literature review, hypothesis generation, GPU compute orchestration |
| Physics | Simulation, PDE solving, dynamical systems, symbolic regression |
| Chemistry | Drug discovery, molecular design, ADMET, docking, structure prediction |
| Biology | Bioinformatics, sequencing pipelines, single-cell analysis, structure prediction |
| Flywheel | Build a specialized LLM from your production data |
Common workflows
Research-only. Thesis on its own.
Research-only. Thesis on its own.
Start at the Thesis quickstart. Create a root node, index a paper or two, talk to the agent, stage an experiment when you’re ready. The web app at thesis.syntheticsciences.ai is enough. You don’t need any CLI.
Coding-only. Synsci CLI on its own.
Coding-only. Synsci CLI on its own.
Install with
npx synsci, then run synsc web --mode <your-domain>. The bundled domain tools and credential sync mean you can start running scientific workflows in minutes. No Thesis account needed.Both. Synsci CLI runs the work, Thesis tracks the program.
Both. Synsci CLI runs the work, Thesis tracks the program.
Set up both products. Connect them with
synsc mcp add thesis --url https://thesis.syntheticsciences.ai/mcp-server. The agent stages experiments in Thesis while it runs the actual work in your repo. See Connect Synsci CLI to Thesis.Cursor or Claude Code with Thesis.
Cursor or Claude Code with Thesis.
Use your existing IDE agent host. Run
npx --yes @synsci/thesis setup to wire Thesis into the host’s MCP config. Your agent gets the 86 Thesis tools alongside its built-ins. Synsci CLI is optional.
