ScienceX is an open-source AI workbench for scientific research. It aims to be a local-first, self-hostable alternative to [Claude Science](https://www.anthropic.com/news/c...), bringing experiment data, agent sessions, reproducible runs, provenance, and research artifacts into one macOS / Windows / Linux desktop environment. Researchers can choose their model provider, extend the system through Skills and MCP, and retain control over local files and computation.
