Connect
At ChatGPT Plugins, choose Add custom MCP server and register https://discovery.sonicfield.org/mcp with no authentication. Install the connection, then open a new chat. Custom connections depend on your ChatGPT account and workspace settings.
Search uses short literal topics. The reading list supports collections, requested English or Spanish text, Library creator/year filters, and more results. Select a row to inspect its exact source. Use in conversation sends that selected source to ChatGPT; the host may continue the conversation immediately.
Read with the evidence
Rankings cover fetched candidates. Available excerpts and bibliographic summaries do not establish access to a full article or book. Requested language, unknown source language, rights, truncation, and partial coverage are shown explicitly. Public links preserve the source identity.
This service cannot save sources, access private accounts, modify Sonic Field records, play or analyze audio, or search the general web.
