SaberTools — the research platform
SaberTools is an AI-powered research intelligence platform. It researches any topic using Claude plus 18 live public APIs, organizes the results into a structured, queryable knowledge base, analyzes sources deeply, and exports everything as portable UKS packets.
The platform is the producer in the ecosystem: it turns a research question into graded, licensed, structured knowledge that conforms to the open UKS standard — and that can be published to the Registry.
➡️ The app lives at saber.tools. This page explains what it does.
What it does
| Capability | Description |
|---|---|
| Research agent | Claude web search + domain-routed live API calls. Depth: Quick / Medium / Deep. |
| 18 live connectors | Health, bibliographic, scientific, government, finance, and open-web sources — auto-selected per domain. See Connectors. |
| Source management | Every source carries an evidence grade, clinical status, credibility score, summary, key findings, tags, and license. Filter + full-text search. |
| Deep analysis | Claude batch-extracts structured domain data — dosing, mechanisms, interactions, lab markers, and more — accumulated on each source. |
| Gap analysis | Claude identifies coverage gaps, missing topics, and priority follow-up searches. |
| Knowledge graph | Force-directed, interactive visualization of entities and relationships. |
| Page scraper | Jina Reader (primary) / direct fetch (fallback) for arbitrary URLs. |
| Import | Paste any Markdown/document → Claude extracts the sources it mentions. |
| Export | UKS v3.0 JSON — full KB, curated KB, analyzed entities, or downstream-app formats. |
Evidence is first-class
SaberTools never collapses what matters. Every source preserves:
- Evidence grade — GRADE-aligned (
high→very_low/n_a). - Clinical status —
validated,emerging,contested,commercial,informational,n_a(never a boolean). - License — a
license_labeland arights_urlon every record, never collapsed to a flag.
This is the same vocabulary the UKS standard enforces, so anything you research is publishable and portable by construction.
From research to a UKS packet
- Create a project with a domain (health, bibliographic, finance, …).
- Research a topic — the agent routes to the right connectors and grades what it finds.
- Analyze & curate — deep analysis, gap analysis, bookmark to the knowledge base.
- Export as a UKS packet → validate it, serve it over MCP, or publish it to the registry.
Under the hood
- Frontend: React + Vite.
- Backend: Node/Express + Prisma + PostgreSQL (pgvector) + Redis + BullMQ.
- Two auth systems: JWT for the web app (
/api/*); scoped API keys (st_live_*) for external apps (/service/v1/*). See the API reference. - AI provider keys stay server-side — never exposed to the browser.
