MCP Server (for Claude Code / Cursor)
pip install sibyl-research
claude mcp add sibyl -e DEEPSEEK_API_KEY=sk-... -- sibyl-mcpThen in Claude Code:
"Research the impact of AI on software engineering jobs over the next 5 years"
"Compare NVIDIA vs AMD vs Intel for AI workloads"
"SWOT analysis of Tesla in 2026"
CLI
pip install sibyl-research
export DEEPSEEK_API_KEY=sk-... # or OPENAI_API_KEY, GEMINI_API_KEY, etc.
# Standard research
sibyl "Canadian housing market outlook 2026"

├─ Step 1: Decompose into 3-5 focused sub-questions
├─ Step 2: Generate 15-20 diverse search queries
├─ Step 3: Search across 4 engines (DuckDuckGo, Google News, Reddit, Wikipedia)
├─ Step 4: Scrape 15-20 sources (realistic browser headers, retry, Google Cache fallback)
├─ Step 5: Filter sources by relevance (LLM-scored)
├─ Step 6: Analyze each sub-question independently
├─ Step 7: Identify knowledge gaps → auto-search for missing info
├─ Step 8: Cross-reference sources (sentiment, consensus, disagreements)
├─ Step 9: Section-by-section synthesis (Summary, Findings, Analysis, Predictions)
├─ Step 10: Review and refine draft
└─ Output: PDF/Markdown report with Table of Contents, citations, chartsResearch Tools (11 MCP tools)
