Data considerations

Consensus's official FAQ says it does not use user data to train AI models.

This is a review prompt, not an independent privacy or compliance certification.

Limitations to consider

  • Deep review usage is capped by subscription.
  • Paper summaries should be checked against original studies.

Evidence & verification

Main product and pricing pages returned almost no extractable text. Official help articles were opened to verify functionality, integration support, privacy, and pricing.

Connect Consensus to your AI assistant

An MCP server lets assistants such as Claude or ChatGPT use Consensus directly. You connect straight to the vendor's server; ToolGrail never sees your account.

Custom MCP servers are available on ChatGPT Business, Enterprise and Edu, on the web. An admin or owner, or an authorised member on Enterprise and Edu, goes to Plugins, selects + then Add custom MCP server, pastes the server address, sets up authentication and accepts the risk notice.
