"Consensus is the go-to MCP for academic research. Connect directly to 220M+ peer-reviewed papers to search, synthesize, and build structured research outputs from within your conversation.\n\nRun literature reviews, build boolean search strategies, generate bibliographies, identify research gaps, and draft cited content — grounded in studies from PubMed, Semantic Scholar, and ArXiv. Pre-built workflows handle complex tasks in minutes: systematic reviews, curriculum reading lists, grant research with novelty analysis, and clinical evidence synthesis.\n\nBuilt for researchers, students, faculty, and clinicians across biomedical, social science, STEM, and all academic disciplines."
