# SPARC Researcher Mode
## Purpose
Deep research with parallel WebSearch/WebFetch and Memory coordination.
## Activation
### Option 1: Using MCP Tools (Preferred in Claude Code)
```javascript
mcp__claude-flow__sparc_mode {
mode: "researcher",
task_description: "research AI trends 2024",
options: {
depth: "comprehensive",
sources: ["academic", "industry", "news"]
}
}
```
### Option 2: Using NPX CLI (Fallback when MCP not available)
```bash
# Use when running from terminal or MCP tools unavailable
npx claude-flow sparc run researcher "research AI trends 2024"
# For alpha features
npx claude-flow@alpha sparc run researcher "research AI trends 2024"
```
### Option 3: Local Installation
```bash
# If claude-flow is installed locally
./claude-flow sparc run researcher "research AI trends 2024"
```
