The research agent behind Consensus is now in our API + MCP 🚀

Send it a research question and it plans its own searches across 400M+ papers, follows citations, and writes up an answer citing the exact passages it used, even from paywalled papers.

get started here: docs.consensus.app

I legit 🩵💙 Consensus so much

If whatever you are building touches science, build it on Consensus.

💻 API & MCP portal: consensus.app/api-mcp/

📄 Docs: docs.consensus.app/api-quickstart…

One call now runs multi-step research across 400M+ papers using our custom tools:

- Semantic search
- Citation crawling
- Author search
- DOI lookup
- Full AI analysis

Every response also returns word-for-word snippets from open access and licensed paywalled papers.

The world’s scientific knowledge is now one API call away 🌎

Today we’re launching the full Consensus agent within our API & MCP.

Below is a tool we built on it in under an hour 👇

@cagrimbakirci Thanks for sharing and being a user @cagrimbakirci 💜

We just launched pre-built skill to verify claims versus our index of 400M papers.

Try it out!

We built these from the tasks our users repeat most. Next up: custom skills you build yourself.

We're shipping something new every week in October. Catch up and follow along 👇

Four pre-built skills to start:

📚 Literature Review: one question, up to 100 papers

🕸️ Citation Snowballing: what a paper cited, who built on it

🔎 Reverse Citation Search: does research back a claim?

✅ Verify Citations: does each source support your claim, or even exist?

We just shipped Skills in Consensus 🏃

Most research is the same procedure run on repeat.

Pick a skill from the search box, describe the task in plain English, and Consensus runs it across 400M peer-reviewed papers, then shows you the exact passages it used.

Biomedicine is now half of everything asked on Consensus...

→ 10M+ biomedical and clinical searches a month

→ Researchers at all 20 of the top 20 US research use Consensus

→ API volume is up 1,000% QoQ as pharma and AI biotechs build literature search into their agents.

ASM and RUP join a growing list of publishers meeting that demand.

Today, we're announcing our new publisher partnerships with @ASMicrobiology and @RockUPress to bring the full text of their journals to Consensus.

We can now index, search, and cite every article in full from journals like JEM, JCB, mBio and more.

Finding an under-researched area you can start a study in has always been time-consuming. But not anymore.

The new Research Gaps Matrix feature in Consensus turns one question into a coverage map to show you where research is missing.

This makes it much easier to:
🔍 Find a you can start a study in
❗️ Identify gaps in your library of research that you should fill
📄 Find a cross section of population/method (or anything custom) to run a targeted follow up search

Here's an example. If you went to a collection in your library and searched: "Show me a research gaps matrix comparing population to study method in this collection so I can see what I am missing"

Consensus will create a table showing you different populations, different study types, and how many papers you have that cover each different area. If there are any missing, you can instantly run a targeted search for them.

This is big and exciting!

I’ve been using @consensusapp as my main research tool for ~5 years, and today they announced a partnership with AAAs.

They continue to improve their product constantly, which is a reason I’ve been a fan from the start.

AAAS joins a growing list of publisher partners, and the reason is simple: we send readers back to the source.

Every result routes to the paper with full attribution. Since AAAS content went live in August, click-throughs per search appearance have more than doubled.

Today we're announcing our partnership with @aaas to bring the full text of the @ScienceMagazine journals to Consensus.

We can now index, search, and cite from the full-text of every article in the Science family, so the next breakthrough is visible to researchers on day one.
