One of the key priorities for launching our Amass MCP was to enable users use our high-quality, integrated, semantically enriched, and crosslinked *Core datasets in the AI tools they are already using.
Happy to see that our team is not only shipping new features but also contributing to making the open source tools we rely on better - in a human way.
In a world of breathless AI hype, especially in the coding space, its a good reminder why we work on software:
to make life for humans better and part of that is collaborating with others good at their craft around the world, in a human way. Of course, this is a small fix to an API docs tool we are using at Amass and AI is helping draft these fixes, but still, it's all about caring.
Build with the Amass API: live demos in Lovable, Claude Code, and Python โ and a Q&A. Rewatch the webinar now. ๐
Three live demos and highlights:
1) Vibe-coding an AI research assistant in Lovable in a single prompt
2) Plugging the Amass API into Claude Code as a skill
This is blog post by @softwaredoug gives a good overview of the agentic (scientific) search future we are building towards and are enabling for all our Amass API users: to build highly specialized retrieval systems and search tools, with the help of agents, easily.
Today we are launching Amass MCP ๐
You can now bring cited biomedical evidence directly into the assistants you already use: Claude, ChatGPT, Codex, Claude Code, and other MCP-compatible tools. Have you deployed Co-Pilot, we are also compatible.
Looking for *reliable* life sciences data directly inside the AI tools you are already using? We just launched the Amass MCP. ๐ Using your Amass account, access connected and enriched papers and trials directly inside Claude, ChatGPT, and other MCP-compatible clients.
Under the hood, it uses the same high-quality retrieval that powers our App and APIs: papers from BiomedCore, trials from TrialCore. Give it a try and let us know what you think.
And if you've been ๐ฎ๐ด๐ฒ๐ป๐-๐ฐ๐๐ฟ๐ถ๐ผ๐๐ but haven't actually shipped one yet โ this is the lowest-friction way I know of to watch one come together end-to-end. No prior setup. No prerequisites. Just show up.
I am ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐น๐น๐ excited: you can now build on three years of hard-won biomedical retrieval methodology. Relevance ranking, journal quality signals, and trial-to-literature cross-references packaged into a single API endpoint with BioMedCore and TrialCore. More *Cores on the way
6) A quick demo of a vibecoded tool (in Lovable) comparing a PubMed and clinicaltrials.gov API-based agent to the same agent with the Amass Data API as a drop-in replacement: loom.com/share/1ab384e58d5a4โฆ
