Consensus opens its Research Agent through the API and MCP
Consensus's Research Agent, already on its site, is now reachable via the API and MCP: submit a question and get a cited synthesis with supporting quotes. Follow-ups can be added to the same thread, and it searches the peer-reviewed corpus, not the open web.
What the article says
On October 27, 2026, Consensus announced that its Research Agent, which powers consensus.app, is available through its API and MCP, under the name Threads in the API. Given a research question, it returns a cited synthesis with supporting quotes and their source sections, and users can ask follow-up questions in the same thread.
Where search finds papers, Threads plans searches, follows citations, reads full text and screens papers; it runs asynchronously, with Pro reviewing about 20 papers in a few minutes and Deep covering up to 100 papers in roughly ten minutes. The response reports how many papers were retrieved, screened and included. Limits: it searches only Consensus's peer-reviewed corpus, not the open web, and does not ask clarifying questions. Experts must still judge whether the interpretation holds.
