Claude, connected to Consensus over MCP, finds peer-reviewed papers for each claim in your outline, drafts with citations, and you fact-check every source before publishing.

Open every cited paper and confirm it says what the draft claims
Human step
Confirmed
Confirmed means the vendor documents it (linked). It doesn't mean IonBin has tested it. AI-platform and human steps need no source.
Human approval
You verify every citation before publishing.
Watch out for
AI can attach a real paper to a claim it doesn’t support. Read the abstract at minimum.
Starter prompt
Goal: Back claims with published research instead of vibes. Tools involved: Consensus, Claude. Your part: finds peer-reviewed sources for each claim through the consensus mcp server; drafts with inline citations and flags weak evidence. Work step by step, show me each draft or proposed change, and wait for my approval before anything is sent, published, signed, filed or changed in a live system.

To verify
Consensus: pairing not named in vendor docs
Computed from the MCP and API steps only: "Confirmed" needs the tool's docs to name the platform and the platform to support the connection. Browser, upload and human steps work from any platform.
What we checked (2026-10-17)
Consensus MCP searches more than 400 million scholarly articles, including 350 million peer-reviewed ones.
Plan limits. The $0 plan lists no API and MCP uses. Pro is $12 a month billed annually and includes 500 API and MCP uses a month, then $0.05 a use up to 1,000. Deep is $45 a month and includes 2,000.
Set it up
Write the outline with one claim per line.
Ask Claude to search Consensus for each claim and return the paper title, year, study type and a link.
Have Claude draft with inline citations and flag claims where the evidence is thin or mixed.
Open every cited paper and read at least the abstract. Make sure it supports the specific claim, not just the topic.
Cut or soften any claim you can’t back up.
A small claim backed by a strong study beats a big claim backed by a weak one. Note sample sizes and whether a study was in humans when it matters.
