Step 1: Configure
Open Scite in ChatGPTStep 2: Authenticate
After starting the app, ChatGPT will prompt you to sign in with your Scite account.
Step 3: Use it
To use Scite in your prompts, type @Scite to activate the connector. For best performance, refresh or reconnect the Scite connector before each session by clicking the ··· menu next to Scite and selecting "Reconnect". For example: "@Scite find papers on CRISPR gene editing".
Troubleshooting
If Scite is not responding, try reconnecting the connector. ChatGPT may silently disconnect tools between sessions. Click the ··· menu next to Scite in your conversation and select "Reconnect" to restore the connection.
OAuth 2.0 configuration
Most MCP clients discover these values automatically from /.well-known/oauth-authorization-server. If you are wiring up an integration manually — for example a Power Apps custom connector, a Copilot Studio connector built without the MCP wizard, or any other OAuth 2.0 client — use the values below. The Refresh URL is the same as the Token URL; send a POST with grant_type=refresh_token to exchange a refresh token for a new access token. Clients that do not support dynamic client registration can POST to the registration endpoint to obtain a client ID.
