Keep Claude. Plug in the regulatory coworker.
Claude stays the general assistant. Rhizome connects over MCP so health-authority answers come from the primary record — agent-to-agent, citations you can open.
Add Rhizome to Claude
Every answer is still grounded in primary sources, with citations you can open in Rhizome.
What “connected” should feel like
This is agent-to-agent, not “dump raw search into the chat.” Claude stays the UI and writing layer; Rhizome does the exhaustive health-authority research and citation discipline. The success check: links open real agency pages, and hard questions pull far more than a handful of sources.
Why connect
Claude handles general work well. Naked precedent is the failure mode: memory, thin source sets, footnotes that don’t hold up. Connecting Rhizome keeps Claude — Enterprise or Claude Code — and adds the health-authority research layer. No hallucinations reported in 18 months on Rhizome’s cited path; still verify before you co-sign.
Enterprise notes
- Allowlists and connector policies vary by workspace; IT may need to approve MCP
- Prove value on public health-authority data first; private systems (Veeva, RIM, SharePoint) are a separate integration conversation
- The pattern buyers like: plug research into tools people already have, sparing everyone a new chat home to retrain onto
