Primary purpose
Consensus offers question-led scientific paper search. Free and paid plans differ in research entitlements. Its official API supports paper searches and filters from applications; API and MCP share a monthly call pool. Returning full-text passages from eligible open-access papers is restricted to paid plans. [C1, C2]
