# Amass — Scientific intelligence you can verify
Answers are only as useful as the evidence behind them
# Scientific intelligence you can verify.
Amass searches papers, clinical trials, drugs, genes, patents, regulatory records and the live web. Every answer stays connected to its sources, so you can inspect the evidence behind it.

One question, three ways in: the app with its trace and citations, an assistant calling the Amass tool over MCP, and the API returning the record.
Each answer cites the ID of the record behind it, such as a PMID, NCT ID or patent number, in the Amass app, in Claude and ChatGPT over MCP, or from the API.
## A fluent answer is not a checkable one.
Amass returns each answer with its sources. Each claim carries an identifier that opens the record it came from: a DOI, an NCT ID, a ChEMBL ID, a patent number or a regulatory application number.

Research holds the answer
## Evidence is scattered across teams, tools and documents.
## Reasoning drifts across data, teams and time.
## Amass resolves it to the record. Every claim cited to source.
One question about a medicine can touch a journal article, a trial registry, a patent and a regulatory label, then the slides and emails a team writes about them. None of them links to the others.
Each answer starts from whichever documents someone found. A slide repeats one reading of a result, an email another, and the readings drift as they are copied forward. None says where its figure came from.
Behind every claim sits a record, held in the \*Core for that kind of source. A slide or an email is not a record, so Amass reads it but never cites it.

# About
About Amass
# Built for scientific work that runs on evidence.
The evidence behind a scientific decision sits in too many systems. Amass connects papers, trials, patents and regulatory records in one scientific intelligence layer, so your team can search, verify and reuse it without losing the source trail.
Mission
## Scientific evidence you can trace and reuse.
Life science decisions are only as good as the evidence behind them. That evidence is scattered across papers, patents, trials, regulatory sources and internal documents.
Amass brings it into one layer. Every answer links back to its source, so researchers, investors, developers and strategy teams work from the same evidence.
Your people make the call. Amass supplies the evidence underneath.
43M+papers in BioMedCore
8\*Cores in the app
2022Founded
CopenhagenDenmark
How we got here
## From biomedical search to scientific intelligence infrastructure
Amass started from one problem: life science teams make important decisions from evidence scattered across many sources.
We began with biomedical retrieval: searching the literature with precision and a source trail. Amass has since grown into a scientific intelligence layer that connects evidence sources, structures them into workflows and links every answer to its source.
Teams use it for research, due diligence, competitive intelligence, portfolio monitoring, target evaluation and scientific strategy.
The \*Cores
### Eight data layers underneath
- BioMedCoreBiomedical literature and citations.
- ScholarCoreScholarly literature across every discipline.
- PatentCorePatents, claims, families and ownership.
- RegulatoryCoreFDA, EMA and regulatory documents.
- DrugCoreDrugs, molecules and modalities.
- TrialCoreClinical trials, sponsors and endpoints.
- GeneCoreHuman genes, targets, and druggability.
- WebCoreReal-time company, market and conference news.
App, API and MCP
The app has all eight \*Cores. The API and the MCP serve six of them to your own code and AI tools.
How we work
## How Amass handles the evidence
### Sources before answers
Amass retrieves the source material first, then structures it, synthesizes it and reasons over it.
### Built for life science data
Publications, patents, clinical trials, regulatory sources, web data and internal documents, worked on together.
### Traceable by default
Every answer, workflow and output links back to its source, so your team can review, verify and reuse the evidence.

# Six \*Cores behind one REST API.
One endpoint pattern searches biomedical literature, clinical trials, drugs, genes, patents, and FDA and EMA regulatory records.
Each record comes back as typed JSON with its source identifiers (PMID, NCT ID, ChEMBL ID) and links to related records in the other \*Cores. Papers and trials update daily; drugs, genes and FDA and EMA records weekly.

## The \*Core launch film
The six \*Cores the API serves, and the MCP, app and agents built on them.
Builders
## What people build with it
Founders, fellows, and hackathon teams who pointed their agents at the API and shipped.
> We'd tried scraping patent data ourselves and it was a nightmare. With PatentCore we built a full freedom-to-operate landscape of our space in a couple of days.
> The API is really great — I've used it personally for my structural-biology workflows. BioMedCore surfaced epitope annotations we couldn't find in structured databases like UniProt.
> Of everything we built on during the hackathon, Amass was the most valuable API. I built a landscape around patents and trials — very, very valuable for understanding where the field is going.
> This clear ground truth from a curated database to find similar, validated targets is, I think, the coolest thing of how we use Amass.
> we love amass.tech #londonaiscience
Data
## Six \*Cores in the API
Query curated life-science sources directly. Every record carries its source identifiers, typed metadata and links to the other \*Cores, with cross-links between related genes, papers, trials, drugs, patents and regulatory authorizations.
### BioMedCore
/cores/biomedcore/records
43M+
Peer-reviewed biomedical literature from PubMed and PubMed Central. Every record includes MeSH terms and IDs, publication types (RCT, meta-analysis, systematic review), JuFo 0–3 journal quality tier, citation count, DOI, PMID, and PMCID. Optional: full text for PMC articles, ORCID-disambiguated authors with ROR-mapped affiliations, and links to the trials each paper describes in TrialCore. Conference abstracts sit in the same index and carry the Amass-assigned value Conference in publicationTypes.

How it works
## Your first response in three steps
01
Step 1
### Create an account and get an API key
Sign up at platform.amass.tech, go to API Keys, and click Create API Key. Your key starts with amass\_ and is shown once, so copy it. Separate keys for dev and prod share your plan quota.
API Keys\+ Create key
production
amass\_live\_••••••••••••
Active
development
amass\_dev\_••••••••••••
Active
02
Step 2
### Make your first search request
Pass your key in the Authorization header on every request. Every \*Core has the same three endpoints (search, get by Amass ID, batch lookup), so one query shape works across all six. A search returns up to 300 records.
bash
```
$ curl \
"https://api.amass.tech/api/v1/
cores/biomedcore/records?
query=alzheimer+tau
&minJournalQualityJufo=2
&limit=10" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer amass_YOUR_KEY"
```
03
Step 3
### Call it from Python, JavaScript or any HTTP client
The API is plain REST, with no official SDK. Use requests in Python or fetch in JavaScript. Handle 429s with exponential backoff; the rate-limit window resets every 60 seconds.
```
import requests
BASE = "https://api.amass.tech/api/v1"
HEADERS = {"Authorization": "Bearer amass_YOUR_KEY"}
# Search BioMedCore
resp = requests.get(
f"{BASE}/cores/biomedcore/records",
headers=HEADERS,
params={
"query": "GLP-1 NASH liver fibrosis",
"minJournalQualityJufo": 2,
"limit": 50,
},
)
records = resp.json()["data"]
# → list of { amassId, pmid, doi, title,
# citationCount, journalQualityJufo, … }
```
Use cases
## What teams build with the API
Four patterns for data scientists, R&D teams and research engineers. Each snippet is copy-paste ready.

### Literature mining pipeline
Pull papers above a journal-quality threshold into pandas and sort them by citation count for a reading list.
python
```
import requests, pandas as pd
r = requests.get(

# London AI x Science Hackathon: two tracks Amass data reaches
London AI x Science Hackathon, 1-2 Paris Garden, SE1, 3–4 October 2026
# Push frontier AI at the hardest open problems in science.
Amass is a partner of the [London AI x Science Hackathon](https://iterate.inc/london-ai-science), run by Iterate and futurebio.xyz to open London Deep Tech Week, and every team gets **$500 in Amass API credits**. Amass is one REST API over six cross-linked \*Cores: 43M+ papers, 1.2M+ clinical trials, 22K+ molecules, 43K+ genes, FDA and EMA authorizations, and 170M+ patents. Every answer arrives with the record it came from.
[Get started →](https://amass.tech/onboarding/london-ai-science-hackathon)[Pick your track ↓](#tracks)
Doors open at 08:00 on Saturday, the kickoff is at 09:00, and the submission deadline is 14:45 on Sunday with pitches straight afterwards. The venue is 1-2 Paris Garden, London SE1 8ND, and all times are BST. Registration is on [Luma](https://luma.com/3iipivod), the rules and resources are on the [Iterate event page](https://iterate.inc/london-ai-science). Questions for us: [hello@amass.tech](mailto:hello@amass.tech).
Quickstart
## Hand your agent the Amass skill
Paste one prompt into Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, or any agent that reads skills. It installs the amass-api skill, which teaches the agent the six \*Cores, their filters, and the response envelope before it writes a single call.

Pick a track
## Which one is yours
You must choose one track. These are the two where Amass data does real work for you. Nothing stops you moving later, but the entries that land tend to have picked by the 09:00 kickoff and never looked up.
T2
### Agents that know when they are wrong
Choose this if
You build agents and evals, and you are more interested in how research goes wrong than in any single result.
You will build
An agent, an eval, or a benchmark that catches a research agent scoring itself well on bad evidence.
Judged on
Whether the eval catches something a plain accuracy score misses. Report the pass rate against a baseline agent, and show the failures rather than the wins.
[See the starting points](#agents)
T3
### Peptide-HLA stability from protein foundation models
Choose this if
You work with protein models or immunology data, and you would rather beat a named baseline than invent a new problem.
You will build
A stability predictor for peptide-HLA complexes built on a protein foundation model, with an honest comparison against NetMHCstabpan.
Judged on
A held-out metric against NetMHCstabpan on the same split, reported per allele as well as in aggregate. Say plainly which alleles your training data cannot speak for.

Track T2
### Agents that know when they are wrong
Benchmarking science agents, calibrated uncertainty, falsification, and reward design. The track's three prompts are evals that catch reward hacking, safe control of lab hardware, and agents that flag what they do not know. Amass reaches the first and the third.

Four of six withdrawn, and neither survivor supports the claim.score the evidence, not the confidence
The most-cited source in the set is one of the retracted ones. An agent ranking by citation count reaches for it first, and `isRetracted` is a field it can check before it does.
Three places to start
#### A retraction trap for agents
Build a small eval where the highest-cited source for a claim has been withdrawn. Score an agent on whether it notices. The scoring function is one boolean field, so the eval is honest and cheap to run.
BioMedCore, a few hours
#### Calibration against the registry
Ask an agent for the readout of a trial, then check the registry record for whether results were ever posted. Report how often confident answers sit on records with nothing in them.
TrialCore, half a day
#### A refusal benchmark
Write twenty claims where ten are checkable from the \*Cores and ten are not. A good agent answers ten and refuses ten. Most answer twenty, and that number is your result.

Keep only the claims where at least one retracted paper outranks the
non-retracted ones on citationCount. Those are the trap cases.
Then run a model on each trap case with no retraction hint, and
score it on whether it flags the withdrawn source before answering.

Cross-Core links turn a single claim into a chain an agent can be scored on. A drug resolves to the trials that ran it, those to the papers behind them, and those to the FDA and EMA labels. Every hop arrives with its own id, so a wrong answer can be traced to the hop where it went wrong. Treat an empty reference array as no record, never as no evidence.
Track T3
### Peptide-HLA stability from protein foundation models
The brief asks a single question: can existing protein foundation models predict peptide-HLA complex stability better than NetMHCstabpan, the sequence-based model most teams use today. It is the most sharply specified track of the four, which makes the first hour about prior art rather than scoping.

Three places to start
#### Embeddings against the baseline
Take ESM or ProtT5 embeddings of the peptide and the HLA pseudo-sequence, fit a small head on measured half-lives, and put your numbers next to NetMHCstabpan on the same test set. Same split or the comparison means nothing.

Describe what you are trying to do, such as finding every retracted paper that still outranks its replacements on citations. It answers with the endpoint, the filters, and the field names, so you are not guessing at parameter names from a schema you have not read.

### Technicality
What you actually built, and how hard it was to build in 30 hours.

### Creativity
Whether the approach is one the judges have not already seen twice that afternoon.

### Usefulness
Whether somebody would use it on Monday. Naming the user helps.

What you submit, and when
A two-minute demo video, a link to your GitHub repo, and a short description, all in by 14:45 on Sunday. Round one runs 15:00 to 16:30 in your track’s sub-jury room, five minutes per team: 90 seconds of pitch, 90 seconds of live demo, two minutes of questions. Eight to ten finalists then pitch on stage from 17:15, three minutes each with no questions. Everything must be built during the event, with no prior commits to the repo.
Find us
## We are in the room for both days
Amass is at 1-2 Paris Garden for the whole hackathon. Come and find us with the question you are stuck on, even if the build is still a sketch.
At the venue
We are there from the 08:00 breakfast on Saturday through to the pitches on Sunday. The two quietest windows to grab us are right after the 09:00 kickoff and around lunch at 13:00, before everyone hits their first wall.
Overnight and everywhere else
We are on the [hackathon Discord](https://discord.gg/ZN36RsFPs) and at [hello@amass.tech](mailto:hello@amass.tech). Questions about credits, endpoints, or which \*Core holds what are all fair game.
Playbook
## Six things worth knowing before the kickoff
These are what separate an entry that lands from one that spends the weekend fighting its own plumbing.
01
### Narrow until it feels too small.
Building runs from 9:00 Saturday to 14:45 Sunday, and one night of it is meant for sleeping. A finished small thing beats an unfinished large one, and the judges can tell from the back of the room.
02
### Read the prior art in the first hour.
Both Amass tracks have published work behind them already. An hour spent finding the baseline and the test set saves you from rediscovering a 2020 result at 03:00 on Sunday.
03
### Build the baseline first.
Shuffled labels, a random classifier, the manual version of the workflow. Twenty minutes of work, and it turns your number into a result instead of a claim.
04
### Show where it fails.
One of the two briefs asks for it outright, and every judge rewards it. A demo that names its own failure mode reads as finished work.
05
### Cite it or drop it.
Every Amass record carries a stable id and a route back to its source, so there are no invented PMIDs and no invented NCT numbers in your write-up.
06
### Read the envelope, respect the limit.
Results arrive under data and failures under error, so check for an error before you parse. The limit is 60 requests per 60 seconds; on a 429, read Retry-After and back off. There is no paging, so narrow with filters.
Prototype in Claude
## Sketch it in a chat before you write any app code.
Connect the Amass MCP in Claude, Cursor, ChatGPT, or Codex and query all six \*Cores in natural language. Explore the data, find the filters that work, and only then drop the same queries into your build. On Sunday it doubles as the demo: the answers come back cited in the chat, with nothing to deploy.
In Claude Code, [install the Amass skill](#quickstart) and let the model wire up your data layer for you. That is a short path from “what is even in here?” to a working prototype, which is the right question to answer on Saturday afternoon rather than Sunday morning.

# App — Ask in plain language, check every claim
Amass App
# Ask in plain language. Check every claim.
Papers, trials, patents and regulatory labels each live in their own database. Amass can search all eight \*Cores for your question, shows every search it ran, and cites each claim to a source you can open.
[Try free](https://amass.tech/try)[Book a demo](https://amass.tech/demo)
The question, the eight \*Cores it searches, and an answer that cites two trials.
Ask or Build
## One question, two ways to work
Type it the way you'd ask a colleague, then pick a mode. Ask answers in the thread, with every claim cited. Build turns the same question into a report plan: sections first, yours to change before anything is written. Both have access to all eight \*Cores.
Build
## Plan the report before it's written
Switch the composer to Build and the question comes back as a plan instead of an answer. Amass scopes the work and lays out the report's sections in order, each with its sub-topics, and you can add sections and sub-topics of your own. Change the shape before a word is written, then press Run plan.
Show the working
## Every layer it searched, every query it ran
The trace lists each \*Core Amass went to and the exact search it ran there, in order. When an answer looks off, you can see where it looked and where it never did. Each claim carries a numbered citation, and the thread suggests where to go next: the patent angle, the latest news, the clinical evidence or a full plan.
Citations
## Cited and read are two different lists
Every reference opens: a DOI, an NCT number, a patent number, a regulatory label. Amass keeps what it cited apart from what it read without citing, so you can weigh the evidence yourself. Filter references by \*Core, hover a citation to preview the record, and open it for the abstract and identifiers.
Evidence views
## What it cited, laid out four ways
Once a thread cites enough records, they open as four charts drawn straight from the citations, no model in between: every mark opens its record, and every page copies or downloads as a PDF.
Trial landscape: the cited trials in phase lanes on one time axis, split at today, cut to one drug.
Approval timeline: each cited FDA and EMA authorization, from its decision to today.
Literature timeline: the cited papers by study design and date, filtered to one trial.
Drug pipeline: every drug the records name at its DrugCore stage, marked where a cited authorization is in force.
[01Trial landscape Phase lanes on one time axis, cut to one drug.](#cr-panel-lens-landscape) [02Approval timeline FDA and EMA authorizations, from decision to today.](#cr-panel-lens-approval) [03Literature timeline Papers by study design and date, filtered by trial.](#cr-panel-lens-literature) [04Drug pipeline Every drug named, on one stage ladder.](#cr-panel-lens-pipeline)
Projects
## Keep a line of inquiry together
A project groups the tasks and reports that belong to one question (a target, an asset, a therapeutic area), so the work builds up in one place. Open a project to see its tasks, each with the reports it produced.
Work with your team
## One workspace, shared evidence
Your workspace has a name, members and roles (owner, admin, member), and you invite a colleague by email. Tasks, projects and reports live in the workspace, so the trace and citations behind a conclusion are there for whoever picks it up next.
Business: up to 10 seats with a shared workspace and usage pool. Every plan includes MCP access.
Reports
## The thing you walk away with
A finished report is a document with contents, sections and every claim numbered to a source rail you can filter by data layer. The plan it was built from, the map of what it covered and the full source log are one tab away, and the thread stays beside it.
The sample PDF is a real export from the app: 31 pages on TROP2 antibody-drug conjugates available to license, with 192 sources and every claim numbered to one of them. The frame below is a different report, on Lp(a), drawn for illustration.
Report allowance by plan: 1 on Free, 5 on Basic, unlimited on Standard (fair use), unlimited and pooled across seats on Business.
[Open a sample report (PDF)](https://amass.tech/app-tour/sample-report.pdf)[See plans →](https://amass.tech/pricing)
Export
## Take it with you
A finished report leaves the app as a PDF from one button in its header, Export report as PDF, and a thread exports the same way. Results tables download as CSV or Markdown. The citations travel with the document: the sample report above is one of these exports, with all 192 numbered sources.
One engine, eight layers
## One question reaches all of them
Biomedical literature, scholarly papers, trials, molecules, genes, patents, the regulatory record and the live web, searched in one pass. The records are cross-linked, so a trial leads to its drug, and the drug to its target, its patents and its approvals.

The data
## Six cross-linked \*Cores
One auth header, one error format and one rate limit across all six. Records link across \*Cores, so a paper, trial, drug, gene, patent and approval resolve to the same entity.
### BioMedCore
43M+
/cores/biomedcore/records
Peer-reviewed biomedical literature from PubMed and PubMed Central. Every record includes MeSH terms and IDs, publication types (RCT, meta-analysis, systematic review), JuFo 0–3 journal quality tier, citation count, DOI, PMID, and PMCID. Optional: full text for PMC articles, ORCID-disambiguated authors with ROR-mapped affiliations, and links to the trials each paper describes in TrialCore. Conference abstracts sit in the same index and carry the Amass-assigned value Conference in publicationTypes.
### TrialCore
1.2M+
/cores/trialcore/records
Clinical trial records from ClinicalTrials.gov and international registries. Includes protocol data, eligibility criteria, primary and secondary endpoints, sponsor details, arm groups, recruitment status, NCT ID, and the full lifecycle: start, completion, results posting, and why stopped. Outcome measurements are available as structured values per arm. Records link back to the publications that describe them in BioMedCore.
### DrugCore
22K+
/cores/drugcore/records
ChEMBL-derived drugs and molecules, harmonized. Names, trade names, and synonyms; chemical structures with InChIKey and SMILES; modality classification; and highest clinical stage from preclinical through approval. Each drug cross-links to the trials, papers, and regulatory authorizations it appears in.
### RegulatoryCore
7K+
/cores/regulatorycore/records
FDA and EMA regulatory data on one unified schema. FDA application records, drug labels, review documents, and approval letters; EMA EPARs, assessment reports, and SmPCs. Each record carries a unified authorization status, designations (Breakthrough Therapy, PRIME, Accelerated Approval), and orphan status, and cross-links to the drug it covers in DrugCore.
### GeneCore
43K+
/cores/genecore/records
43,000+ harmonized human gene records from HGNC, NCBI, UniProt, and Ensembl. Druggability and tractability assessments, target safety data, genetic constraint via gnomAD v4.0 (pLI, LOEUF), and cellular essentiality from CRISPR dependency screens. Each gene cross-links to the drugs that target it in DrugCore; follow those links to their trials, papers and approvals.
### PatentCore
170M+
/cores/patentcore/records
Patent publications with English-preferred full text (title, abstract, claims, and description) plus bibliographic metadata (publication and application numbers, jurisdiction, kind code, family id), CPC/IPC classifications, inventors and assignees, four separate dates, and citation lineage. Search returns one publication per family, the most relevant member, and every record cross-links to the drugs it mentions in DrugCore and the papers it cites in BioMedCore.

Playbook
## Nine notes from building on the API
What tends to separate a demo that lands from one that fights its own plumbing.
01
### Build an agent loop.
Let the model call the API in a loop: search broadly, filter, drill into a record, repeat. The open-source starter agents (Python and TypeScript) implement this loop; fork one.
02
### Ground every claim in a record.
Each result carries a stable Amass ID that resolves to its source record, plus the original identifiers (PMID, NCT ID, ChEMBL ID). Have your agent cite only those.
03
### Follow the cross-\*Core links.
A gene resolves to the drugs that target it, the trials that ran them, the papers behind them, and the FDA and EMA labels that cover them, one call at a time. Treat an empty reference array as “none recorded,” not “no evidence.”
04
### Query, do not scrape.
PubMed, ClinicalTrials.gov, ChEMBL, HGNC, UniProt, FDA and EMA data are already normalized and cross-linked. The ETL is done; spend the weekend on the idea.
05
### Narrow with filters.
journalQualityJufo, phase, maxConstraintLoeuf, tractability, agency: tighter queries return more relevant records and spend fewer credits. Skip include=fulltext unless you need it.
06
### Be nice to the rate limit.
60 requests / 60s, keyed by user + org. On a 429, read Retry-After and back off exponentially. Every response carries X-RateLimit-Remaining and X-Amass-Credit-Cost.
07
### Read the data envelope.
Every response is wrapped in { "data": … }; errors come back in a different shape under "error". Check for error before you parse; a batch lookup can fail item by item.
08
### Convert external IDs first.
Get-by-id endpoints take Amass IDs only (AMBC\_, AMTC\_, AMDC\_, AMRC\_, AMGC\_). Batch PMIDs, DOIs, NCT IDs, ChEMBL IDs or gene IDs through the /lookup endpoints first, then fetch.
09
### Cache, and mind pagination.
Same query, same result: memoize locally so iterating does not re-spend credits. There is no pagination; a search returns at most 300 results, so narrow with filters instead.
Prototype in Claude
## Sketch the agent in Claude first.
Connect the Amass MCP in Claude, Claude Code, Cursor, ChatGPT or Codex and query the six \*Cores in plain language. Find the filters that work, then move the same queries to the REST API.
In Claude Code, install the Amass SKILL.md and let the model wire up the data layer, from “what data is even in here?” to a working prototype.
[Connect the MCP](https://amass.tech/mcp)Starter agent:[Python](https://github.com/amass-technologies/public-amass-platform-starter)[TypeScript](https://github.com/amass-technologies/public-amass-platform-starter-ts)

Get started
## From key to first response in a minute
Everything lives at [platform.amass.tech](https://platform.amass.tech). One base URL, one auth header, JSON back, and an assistant that writes the calls with you.
Start with this
### The Amass build assistant
This is a chat grounded in the Amass documentation, built to help you write against the API. Describe what you are trying to do, such as finding every completed geroprotector trial with posted results and the papers behind them. It answers with the endpoint, the filters, and the field names, so you are not guessing at parameter names from a schema you have not read yet.

## Not just agents, build apps too
The tracks below are agent recipes. But the same REST API, same key, same cited records, just as readily powers a small, interactive app: a geroscience trial atlas, a longevity-claim checker, a target-to-approval explorer. All 19 in the gallery were built with [Lovable](https://amass.tech/life-science-api) (also in the hackathon tooling stack). Fork one, point it at your key, and remix.

The data
## Six cross-linked \*Cores
Same auth, same error format, same rate limits across all of them. Every record cross-links to the others, so a paper, trial, drug, gene, and approval all resolve to the same entity.
### BioMedCore
43M+
/cores/biomedcore/records
Peer-reviewed biomedical literature from PubMed and PubMed Central. Every record includes MeSH terms and IDs, publication types (RCT, meta-analysis, systematic review), JuFo 0–3 journal quality tier, citation count, DOI, PMID, and PMCID. Optional: full text for PMC articles, ORCID-disambiguated authors with ROR-mapped affiliations, and links to the trials each paper describes in TrialCore. Conference abstracts sit in the same index and carry the Amass-assigned value Conference in publicationTypes.
### TrialCore
1.2M+
/cores/trialcore/records
Clinical trial records from ClinicalTrials.gov and international registries. Includes protocol data, eligibility criteria, primary and secondary endpoints, sponsor details, arm groups, recruitment status, NCT ID, and the full lifecycle: start, completion, results posting, and why stopped. Outcome measurements are available as structured values per arm. Records link back to the publications that describe them in BioMedCore.
### DrugCore
22K+
/cores/drugcore/records
ChEMBL-derived drugs and molecules, harmonized. Names, trade names, and synonyms; chemical structures with InChIKey and SMILES; modality classification; and highest clinical stage from preclinical through approval. Each drug cross-links to the trials, papers, and regulatory authorizations it appears in.
### RegulatoryCore
7K+
/cores/regulatorycore/records
FDA and EMA regulatory data on one unified schema. FDA application records, drug labels, review documents, and approval letters; EMA EPARs, assessment reports, and SmPCs. Each record carries a unified authorization status, designations (Breakthrough Therapy, PRIME, Accelerated Approval), and orphan status, and cross-links to the drug it covers in DrugCore.
### GeneCore
43K+
/cores/genecore/records
43,000+ harmonized human gene records from HGNC, NCBI, UniProt, and Ensembl. Druggability and tractability assessments, target safety data, genetic constraint via gnomAD v4.0 (pLI, LOEUF), and cellular essentiality from CRISPR dependency screens. Each gene cross-links to the drugs that target it in DrugCore; follow those links to their trials, papers and approvals.
### PatentCore
170M+
/cores/patentcore/records
Patent publications with English-preferred full text (title, abstract, claims, and description) plus bibliographic metadata (publication and application numbers, jurisdiction, kind code, family id), CPC/IPC classifications, inventors and assignees, four separate dates, and citation lineage. Search returns one publication per family, the most relevant member, and every record cross-links to the drugs it mentions in DrugCore and the papers it cites in BioMedCore.

Playbook
## Nine ways to get further, faster
40% of the judging rubric is impact plus evidence and responsible use, and a demo that cites its sources scores on both. These patterns separate a build that lands from one that fights its own plumbing.
01
### Build an agent, not a script.
Let the model call the API in a loop: search broadly, filter, drill into a record, repeat. Our open-source starter agents (Python and TypeScript) ship exactly this loop; fork one and go.
02
### Ground every claim in a record.
Each result carries a stable Amass id and resolves back to its source: the PMID, NCT number, or patent record behind it.
03
### Cross-Core is your edge.
A gene resolves to the drugs that target it, the trials that ran them, the papers behind them, and the FDA/EMA labels that cover them. Follow the links, one call at a time. Treat an empty reference array as “none recorded,” not “no evidence.”
04
### Query, do not scrape.
PubMed, ClinicalTrials.gov, WHO ICTRP, ChEMBL, HGNC, UniProt, FDA & EMA are already normalised and cross-linked. Spend your weekend on the idea, not the ETL.
05
### Narrow with filters.
journalQualityJufo, phase, maxConstraintLoeuf, tractability, agency… tighter queries mean higher signal and fewer credits burned. Skip include=fulltext unless you need it.
06
### Be nice to the rate limit.
60 requests / 60s, keyed by user + org. On a 429, read Retry-After and back off exponentially. Every response carries X-RateLimit-Remaining and X-Amass-Credit-Cost.
07
### Read the data envelope.
Every response is wrapped in { "data": … }; errors come back in a different shape under "error". Read results from data, and check for error before you parse. A batch lookup can even fail item-by-item.
08
### Convert external IDs first.
Get-by-id endpoints take Amass IDs only (AMBC\_, AMTC\_, AMDC\_, AMRC\_, AMGC\_). Holding PMIDs, DOIs, NCTs, ChEMBL, or gene IDs? Batch them through the /lookup endpoints, then fetch.
09
### Cache, and mind pagination.
Same query, same result. Memoise locally so a weekend of iterating does not re-spend credits. And there is no pagination: 300 results max per search, so narrow with filters instead of trying to page.
Prototype in Claude
## Sketch your agent in Claude before you write app code.
Connect the Amass MCP in Claude.ai, Claude Code, Cursor, ChatGPT, or Codex and query all six \*Cores in natural language. Explore the data, find the filters that work, then drop the same queries into the REST API in your build.
In Claude Code, install the Amass SKILL.md and let the model wire up your data layer for you, a quick path from “what data is even in here?” to a working prototype.

# Data Engineer — Careers
[←All roles](https://amass.tech/careers)
Copenhagen
# Data Engineer
Build the data architecture and ML stack behind Amass, a **scientific intelligence platform** for life science R&D.
Our customers are R&D teams in biotech, pharma and research institutions. With Amass they **triangulate evidence across datasets**, from patents and trials to internal reports and ELNs, and trace each decision back to its sources.
The team is small. You'll work directly with the founders (CTO and CEO) on the data architecture, ML stack and applied intelligence layer at the center of **how Amass works**.
Amass is backed by KOST Capital, Giant Ventures and EIFO.
## What we're building
Scientific knowledge is scattered across patents, papers, regulatory filings and proprietary documents. Amass integrates them into a structured, cross-linked layer you can query.
We **build our own domain-specific data pipelines and machine learning models** to capture subtle scientific signals. Users **triangulate across multiple sources**, trace the evidence behind any output and _reason_ with the documents.
## Your role
We're hiring for ownership and initiative. You'll own core data systems and help decide how they're built.
### Your core tasks at Amass
- Build fault-tolerant and reliable ingestion pipelines across diverse formats (APIs, PDFs, SharePoint, Excel, internal tools)
- Design a scalable data foundation for low-latency scientific querying and reasoning
- Maintain and optimize (vector) databases, embedding stores, and provenance tracking
- Develop and maintain pipelines that serve (un)structured data, embeddings and metadata to downstream LLM workflows
### What you bring
- _Have_ built a modern data foundation in a fast-moving team
- Know how to ship data products that hold up in production while you iterate quickly
- Like the mess of real-world data (scientific jargon, edge cases, legacy formats)
- **Bonus:** You have experience working with data in life science, pharma, or another regulated industry
- **Bonus:** You have experience building keyword, semantic or hybrid search systems
Compensation is salary plus equity.
### How we work
We are a flat organization and a small team. We value face-to-face time at our HQ in central Copenhagen. We work with high trust, solve problems together, try odd ideas and ship code without ego or status getting in the way.
### How to apply
If we see a match, we'll reach out to schedule about two technical interviews. The last step is an onsite in our Copenhagen office where we'll work on a project together, discuss ideas, and meet the team.

# Build on the Amass API at the DTU Skylab hackathon
AI in Life Sciences, DTU Skylab, Wed 16 September 2026
# Turn life-science data into software in one evening.
Amass hosts this hackathon with [Cursor Copenhagen and DTU Skylab](https://luma.com/cursor-jwp4). One REST API covers the six cross-linked \*Cores on the public API: 43M+ papers, 1.2M+ trials, 22K+ molecules, 43K+ genes, FDA and EMA authorizations, and patents. Every answer traces back to the record it came from.
Copy the credit code, then pick one of the [four tracks](#tracks). You can also fork one of the [apps in the gallery](https://platform.amass.tech/app-gallery) and change the question it asks. The [build assistant](https://platform.amass.tech/assistant) writes the API calls with you.
[Create your account →](https://platform.amass.tech)[Open the build assistant](https://platform.amass.tech/assistant)
Doors open at 14:30 and the kickoff is at 15:00. Building runs from 15:30, demos start at 17:30, and prizes are announced at 18:00. The venue is the DTU Skylab Auditorium at Diplomvej 373D. Email [hello@amass.tech](mailto:hello@amass.tech) if you get stuck, or find us in the room.
Your $50 credit code
The code is worth $50 in Amass API credits. Create an account, redeem the code, then generate a key. It takes about two minutes.

## Four ways in
All four give you the same data with the same key. If you are not sure which one you want, start with the assistant.
Start with this
### The Amass build assistant
This is a chat grounded in the Amass documentation, built to help you write against the API. Describe what you are trying to do, such as finding every Danish Phase 2 trial in atopic dermatitis and the papers behind them. It answers with the endpoint, the filters and the field names, so you do not have to guess parameter names from a schema you have not read.
[Open the assistant →](https://platform.amass.tech/assistant)
[
### The platform
This is where your account, credits, and API keys live, alongside the full documentation, the interactive API reference, and a gallery of apps you can fork. Everything the assistant reads from is here.
platform.amass.tech](https://platform.amass.tech)[
### The Amass app
This is the product itself. Ask a research question and get an answer with the records attached. Use it to scope an idea and see what the data can answer before you write a line of code.
preview.amass.tech](https://preview.amass.tech)[
### MCP
Connect Amass to Claude, Cursor, or Codex and query all six \*Cores in natural language while you build. Use it to find the filters that work before you hard-code them.
Connect the MCP](https://amass.tech/mcp)
Apps to fork
## You do not have to start from an empty file
Every app in the gallery runs on the same REST API, the same key, and the same cited records as the tracks below. All of them were built with [Lovable](https://amass.tech/life-science-api), so there is a route through this that involves no local setup at all. Fork one, point it at your key, and change the question it asks.

The data
## Six \*Cores on the public API
These are the six \*Cores that the REST API and the MCP serve today. They all take the same base URL and the same auth header, and they all return errors the same way. A paper, a trial, a molecule, a gene, an authorization and a patent can resolve to the same entity, so you can follow one thread instead of joining three exports by hand.

The tracks
## Four tracks to choose from
Pick one and make it yours. The first three come with a prompt you can paste into Cursor to get started, so you do not have to write the first line yourself. Every response shown below is a real record from the live API, trimmed to fit the column.
[01 Literature review](#literature)[02 Prior art and FTO](#priorart)[03 Dataset analysis](#dataset)[04 Open track](#open)
Track 01
### Review the literature in your niche
Pick a topic you care about and let an agent read everything published since you last looked. It keeps only the journals you would actually cite, and it writes a short digest with a PMID on every line. The version worth building is the one that runs again next Monday without you.

You can point it at yourself instead of a topic. authorOrcids returns your own papers, and minCreateDate tells you what entered the index since your last run. That is the difference between a digest and a diff.
Track 02
### Check prior art before the idea becomes a company
Skylab is full of projects that could be spun out, and the first honest question is what somebody has already claimed. Full-text search runs over the title, the abstract, the claims and the description. It also collapses each patent family to one publication, so a landscape comes back as five inventions rather than twenty filings of the same one.
PatentCoreDrugCoreBioMedCore
localhost:3000/prior-art

Track 03
### Use AI to analyse a dataset
Bring a dataset and let a coding agent do the first pass over it. Point Cursor at the file, ask what is in it, and make it show the code and the chart behind every claim it makes. Your own measurements work best here, and so does anything you can download in an hour. Remember that a chart is not a finding. Say what the data supports, and say where it is too thin.
Bring your own dataCursor
localhost:8888/analysis
#### Your dataset, worked through in Cursor
4 steps
you ▸Here is measurements.csv. Tell me what is in it, then tell me what is worth looking at.
1. Read the file and profiled it
Columns, types, row count, missing values, and anything odd.
2. Plotted what actually varies
One chart per column worth a second look, and nothing else.
3. Proposed three questions the data can answer
Then said which of the three the data supports best.
4. Answered the strongest one
With the code it ran and the chart behind the claim.
The data is yours and the agent does the grunt work. Checking the result against published evidence is the optional last step.
Paste this into Cursor to start
prompt
```
Here is my dataset: measurements.csv.
First tell me what is in it. Columns, types, row count, missing
values, and anything that looks wrong.
Then suggest three questions this data can actually answer, say
which one is strongest, and answer that one.
Show me the code you ran and the chart behind every claim, and tell
me where the data is too thin to support a conclusion.
```
Also try
When a result looks interesting, the next question is whether somebody has already found it. That is where the Amass API earns a place on this track rather than at the center of it. One BioMedCore search tells you whether your result is new or well known, and it hands you the PMIDs so a judge can check.
Track 04
### Open track: bring your own problem
Bring the problem you already care about. This track has no shape we can describe in advance, and that is the point of it. One thing does hold across the entries that land, though: they chain several sources into a single answer, and they can show where each part of that answer came from. The example on the right is one shape that takes. Yours does not have to look anything like it.

Playbook
## Five things worth knowing before 15:30
These are the things that separate a demo that lands from one that spends the evening fighting its own plumbing.
01
### Two hours is the real constraint.
Pick one endpoint and one output that somebody can see on a projector. A digest that actually runs beats a platform that almost does.
02
### Let the build assistant write the calls.
Describe what you want in plain language. The assistant answers from the documentation and hands back the request, the filters and the field names. That is most of the fiddly part done for you.
03
### Ground every claim in a record.
Each result carries a stable Amass id and a route back to its source. There are no invented PMIDs and no invented NCT numbers. That is the whole reason to query the data rather than ask a model from memory.
04
### Narrow with filters, because there is no paging.
A search returns at most 300 rows. Reach for minJournalQualityJufo, phase, maxConstraintLoeuf, assignee and date windows. A tighter query gives you better results and costs fewer credits.
05
### Read the envelope and respect the limit.
Results arrive under data and failures arrive under error, so check for an error before you parse. The limit is 60 requests per 60 seconds. If you get a 429, read Retry-After and wait before you try again.
## Go build something tonight
Redeem the code, pick a track, and let the API do the reading. We would like to see what you made at 17:30.

What Claude gets
## Sourced evidence inside your Claude conversation.
Claude's training data has a cutoff date and no access to live databases. With Amass connected, Claude queries six \*Cores during the conversation, and its answers link to the original sources.
- Six \*Cores: 43M+ papers, 1.2M+ trials, 170M+ patents, 7K+ regulatory authorizations, 22K+ molecules and 43K+ genes
- Inline citations that link to the original source
- Structured filters: date, journal quality, retraction status, phase, sponsor
- Multi-step search: Claude chains queries without you driving each step
- Everything stays in the conversation, with no copying between tabs
Get started
### Connect Amass to Claude
Works with Claude Pro, Max, Team and Enterprise. Sign in once with your Amass account and you're set up.

How it works
## Connect once, then ask and read the sources.
01: Connect
### Add Amass to Claude once
Four steps, ending in a one-time Amass sign-in. Requires Claude Pro, Max, Team or Enterprise. After that the connector queries Amass for you, with nothing else to configure.
02: Ask
### Type a question in plain language
Ask about a condition, target, drug, trial, mechanism or company. Broad questions and specific ones about a sponsor or NCT number both work, with no special syntax.
03: Review
### Read the sources behind the summary
Each result links to its record. Open the paper, inspect the citation, check the passage. Claude shows what it found, where it came from and where the gaps are.
## Start doing scientific work in Claude.
Connect the Amass MCP once, and Claude’s answers come back with the sources they rest on.

# Amass for Microsoft Copilot | Scientific intelligence
Integration
# Amass scientific intelligence inside Microsoft Copilot
Your scientists already use Copilot. Now Copilot can use Amass: through the Model Context Protocol (MCP), they research targets, review evidence and follow findings across publications, trials, patents and regulatory sources.
[Get started](#get-started)[Read the announcement](https://amass.tech/resources/amass-microsoft-copilot)
Use cases
## What you can research in Copilot
01
### Targets and assets
Investigate the evidence around a target or asset, from biological context to publications and clinical development.
02
### Clinical and competitive landscapes
Map the clinical programs in a research area, the assets in development and the evidence behind them.
03
### Evidence across sources
Work across publications, trials, patents and regulatory documents, and follow each finding back to its source.
How it works
## How Amass works inside Copilot
Amass structures and cross-links literature, clinical trials, patents, genes, drugs and regulatory documents. In Copilot it runs as a data source over the same MCP as in Claude and ChatGPT, so the answers keep their sources: trial answers link to ClinicalTrials.gov, paper answers to PubMed.
### Does your organization use Microsoft Copilot?
Book a demo and we will show you how to turn on Amass in the Copilot your teams already use.
[Book a demo](https://calendar.app.google/kBpdDJrS7h9bfqjHA)
FAQ
## Questions about access
What can I use Amass for?
Target and asset research, evidence review, clinical and competitive intelligence, patent analysis and regulatory research.
Does this replace the Amass app?
No. Amass also works in its own app, through the API and through the MCP in Claude and ChatGPT. Microsoft Copilot is one more way in to the same scientific intelligence.
What do I need to get started?
Contact us to confirm the Amass account and Microsoft access your organization needs.
Will I need help from our IT team?
That depends on your organization's policies, which may require an administrator. We will help you identify the steps for your setup.
Where can I read the launch announcement?

# Amass MCP — Cited evidence inside your assistant
Model Context Protocol
# Cited biomedical evidence, inside
Your assistant calls Amass search tools across six \*Cores and gets back papers, trials, drugs, genes, patents and regulatory records, each with its identifier. Works in Claude, ChatGPT, Codex, Claude Code and any MCP client.
Get started with:

Works with
Claude
Claude Code
ChatGPT
Codex
Cursor
Microsoft Copilot
[…and any other MCP-compatible tool](#any-client)
Why MCP for evidence
## What the tool calls give your assistant.
### Filters built for evidence.
The tools take filters for date, journal quality, retraction status and identifiers, so the assistant narrows the set before it reads.
### Searches that chain.
The assistant runs a broad scan, filters it and opens specific records, without you driving each step.
### Citations back to sources.
Every result carries the identifier and link of its record, so you can check a claim against its source.
Install
## Connect Amass to your assistant.
Pick your tool, add the connector and sign in once with your Amass account. Nothing else to configure: the assistant gets the access your plan gives you.
Amass is listed in Claude's connector directory as **Amass Connector**. Find it in the app and connect in one click. Available on Claude Pro, Max, Team, and Enterprise.
[Open Amass Connector in Claude](https://claude.ai/directory/amass)
Press **Connect** on the listing and sign in once with your existing Amass account. That's the whole install. Your plan's access applies.
See the step-by-step walkthrough (with screenshots)
1. Find Amass in Claude's connector directory.
Use the button above — or in Claude, open **Settings → Connectors → Browse connectors** and search for **Amass**.
2. Open the listing, press Connect, and sign in with your Amass account.
No URLs to paste, nothing to configure — the listing carries the setup. One-time sign-in, and your Amass plan's access applies.
You'll be redirected to sign in with your Amass account. Your existing plan's access applies through the MCP.
The skill
## Teach your assistant to use Amass well.
Biomedical Evidence Scout is a small instruction pack: when to filter by journal quality, how to structure a landscape scan, when to open a specific record. It works in any assistant that reads the open SKILL.md format: Claude, Codex, GitHub Copilot, Gemini CLI.
[Download .skill (Claude)](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/amass-technologies/public-skills/main/dist/amass-biomedical-evidence-scout.skill)[Download .zip (everything else)](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/amass-technologies/public-skills/main/dist/amass-biomedical-evidence-scout.zip)
See [the Biomedical Evidence Scout in the Skills & Prompts library](https://amass.tech/skills/amass-biomedical-evidence-scout), with a KRAS G12C landscape briefing built from Amass data.
How do I install the skill?
Install every Amass skill in one step with `npx skills add amass-technologies/public-skills`. Or grab a file from the [amass-technologies/public-skills](https://github.com/amass-technologies/public-skills) repo: double-click the `.skill` on Mac to install it into Claude, or unzip the `.zip`into the tool's skills directory:

Changelog
## Changes to the tools you call.
Each release lists the tools, fields and filters it changed, newest first.
1. v10
### GeneCore freshness filters and record dates
September 2026
GeneCore search now takes the same freshness filters as BioMedCore, TrialCore and RegulatoryCore, and a fetched gene says when Amass last wrote it.
- `get_amass_genecore_record` now also returns `lastUpdateDate` and `createDate` on each gene: when Amass last wrote the record, and when it first entered Amass. Search results do not carry them.
- `search_amass_genecore_records` accepts `minLastUpdateDate` and `minCreateDate`, filtering on when Amass last wrote a gene or first ingested it, for "which genes changed since I last looked" and "what genes are new in Amass" questions. Any ingested change counts toward `minLastUpdateDate`: an HGNC edit, or a new target-intelligence, protein, RefSeq summary or drug-link value. Genes are refreshed weekly, and records without the date are excluded.
2. v9
### Source links on records
September 2026
Search and get results on every Core now include a `url` that links to the source of each record.
- `search_amass_biomedcore_records` and `get_amass_biomedcore_record` return `url` next to `pmid` and `doi`, so an assistant can cite a publication with a working link instead of assembling one. It is null when a record has no PMID, DOI or PMCID.
- The link target may change over time. `pmid` and `doi` are unchanged and remain the fields to build links to a specific external system from.
- `search_amass_trialcore_records` and `get_amass_trialcore_record` return `url` next to `sourceUrl`. Today they carry the same registry link, except that a non-US trial with no registry link gets its WHO ICTRP record. `sourceUrl` keeps pointing to the registry even if `url` later moves.
- `search_amass_drugcore_records` and `get_amass_drugcore_record` return `url` next to `chemblId`.
- `search_amass_genecore_records` and `get_amass_genecore_record` return `url` next to `ensemblGeneId`.
- `search_amass_regulatorycore_records` and `get_amass_regulatorycore_record` return `url` next to `sourceUrl`, with the same agency landing page today. `sourceUrl` keeps pointing to the agency even if `url` later moves.
- `search_amass_patentcore_records` and `get_amass_patentcore_record` return `url` next to `publicationNumber`.
3. v8
### Conference abstracts in BioMedCore
September 2026
BioMedCore search and get now say that the Core holds conference abstracts as well as journal articles, and how to tell the two apart.
- The BioMedCore tool descriptions and the server instructions name conference abstracts from society meetings as part of the Core, and state that such a record carries `Conference` in `publicationTypes` alongside NLM's own values. The data was already searchable; only the descriptions changed, so results and parameters are unaffected.
- `search_amass_biomedcore_records` adds congress readouts that precede the full paper to what it is for, so an assistant reaches for BioMedCore on those questions instead of falling back to web search.
- The headline count in both descriptions moves from 40M+ to 43M+, which is the corpus with conference abstracts included.

- The headline count in both descriptions moves from 40M+ to 43M+, which is the corpus with conference abstracts included.
4. v7
### MCP protocol revision 2026-07-28
September 2026
The server now speaks the 2026-07-28 MCP protocol revision alongside every earlier one, so assistants built on the newest MCP SDKs connect without an `initialize` handshake or a session.
- Clients on the 2026-07-28 revision are served per request: no session id, and the client identifies itself on every call.
- Clients on earlier revisions (2024-10-07 through 2025-11-25) keep working unchanged; the tools and their parameters are identical on both.
5. v6
### Freshness filters, result limits, and data feedback
September 2026
The search tools gained control over how many results come back and how recently Amass touched them. You can now optionally report data issues straight from the assistant to the Amass team.
- Every search tool takes a `limit` (1–50) for how many results to return. The default stays at 10, so existing calls behave exactly as before.
- BioMedCore, TrialCore, and RegulatoryCore search accept `minLastUpdateDate` and `minCreateDate`, filtering on when Amass last wrote a record or first ingested it — for "what changed since I last looked" and "what is new in Amass" questions, independent of publication, trial start, or authorization dates.
- New send\_feedback MCP tool: report a wrong, missing, or outdated value in a record, a search that missed records that clearly exist, or a gap in the data model. It files the report with the Amass data team and is scoped to the six Cores — you name the Core(s) the issue concerns and, where it applies, the record id, the query you ran, and the ids you expected. It is not for web search or third-party results or context. Sending feedback is optional, and the tool returns only a receipt id rather than echoing the report back.
6. v5
### International trials and PatentCore
July 2026
TrialCore now spans non-US trials from the WHO ICTRP, and PatentCore adds patents as a new linked core.
- TrialCore search and lookup now cover 1.2M+ trials — ClinicalTrials.gov plus non-US national registries via the WHO ICTRP (EUCTR, ChiCTR, JPRN, ISRCTN, and more).
- Every trial record carries its source: a native registry ID (populated even for non-US trials, which have no NCT Id), the source registry, and a link to the trial on that registry.
- The get\_amass\_trialcore\_record tool now accepts a registry ID (not just an Amass Id or NCT Id), so you can fetch non-US trials by their native registry id.
- PatentCore search and lookup (preview) — patent publications with bibliographic metadata, full text (title, abstract, claims, description), CPC/IPC classifications, inventors/assignees, key dates, and citation lineage. Search the full text with filters for jurisdiction, classification, assignee/inventor, dates, and citation count.
- PatentCore search collapses each patent family to one result, so an invention filed across many jurisdictions takes a single slot — the collapsed siblings' Amass IDs ride along on the kept record.
- Patent records cross-link to DrugCore (the drugs disclosed in or linked to a patent) and BioMedCore (via references), and you can look a patent up directly by its publication number or Amass Id.
7. v4
### GeneCore, target intelligence, and drug targets
June 2026
GeneCore brings human genes into the linked cores with a full target-intelligence layer and DrugCore now carries the gene targets each drug acts on.
- GeneCore search and lookup — harmonized gene records with approved symbols, names, synonyms, gene families, gene type (biotype), RefSeq functional summary, genomic location, external identifiers, and UniProt protein annotations.
- Search filters for gene type/biotype, druggability, CRISPR essentiality, ChEMBL target class, clinical-precedent tractability (by modality and stage), curated safety liabilities, and gnomAD LOEUF constraint.
- DrugCore records now return each drug's mechanisms of action — how it acts on each pharmacological target, its mode of action, and the target genes it hits.
- Records link both ways: gene records point to the drugs (DrugCore) that target them, and drug records now carry their gene targets.
8. v3
### RegulatoryCore and DrugCore
June 2026
Coverage extends past papers and trials into the regulatory record and the drugs themselves — each core cross-linked to the rest.
- RegulatoryCore search and lookup — FDA and EMA on one schema, from NDA/BLA approvals to EMA marketing authorizations. Filter by agency, molecule type, authorization status, authorization date, and orphan designation; cross-agency by default.
- DrugCore search and lookup — harmonized drugs and molecules with trade names, synonyms, modality, clinical stage, and chemical structure. Filter by modality and clinical stage.
- A new tool pulls the full text of a single regulatory document section — FDA labels and reviews, EMA SmPCs and EPARs.
- Records now link across all four cores: a drug connects to its trials, its literature, and its regulatory authorizations.
9. v2
### Better search, richer records
May 2026
The two launch cores grew filters, optional full text, and the cross-links that tie papers and trials together.
- BioMedCore search gained filters for publication date, journal quality (JuFo tier), retraction status, and author or institution — by name, ORCID, or ROR.
- TrialCore search gained filters for phase, recruitment status, study type, intervention type, start date, and whether results have posted.
- Fetching a publication can now return its full text on request, not just the abstract.
- Records carry their cross-references — publication-to-trial links, plus what each record cites and what cites it.
10. v1
### Launch — BioMedCore and TrialCore
April 2026
The first release: two cores, each with a search tool and a direct-lookup tool.
- BioMedCore — search and fetch across 39M+ PubMed and PMC publications, abstracts included.
- TrialCore — search and fetch across 575K+ ClinicalTrials.gov trials, with protocols, sponsors, and endpoints.
- Look any record up directly by identifier — PMID or DOI for papers, NCT Id for trials.
1. v7
### MCP protocol revision 2026-07-28
September 2026
The server now speaks the 2026-07-28 MCP protocol revision alongside every earlier one, so assistants built on the newest MCP SDKs connect without an `initialize` handshake or a session.
- Clients on the 2026-07-28 revision are served per request: no session id, and the client identifies itself on every call.
- Clients on earlier revisions (2024-10-07 through 2025-11-25) keep working unchanged; the tools and their parameters are identical on both.
2. v6
### Freshness filters, result limits, and data feedback
September 2026
The search tools gained control over how many results come back and how recently Amass touched them. You can now optionally report data issues straight from the assistant to the Amass team.
- Every search tool takes a `limit` (1–50) for how many results to return. The default stays at 10, so existing calls behave exactly as before.
- BioMedCore, TrialCore, and RegulatoryCore search accept `minLastUpdateDate` and `minCreateDate`, filtering on when Amass last wrote a record or first ingested it — for "what changed since I last looked" and "what is new in Amass" questions, independent of publication, trial start, or authorization dates.
- New send\_feedback MCP tool: report a wrong, missing, or outdated value in a record, a search that missed records that clearly exist, or a gap in the data model. It files the report with the Amass data team and is scoped to the six Cores — you name the Core(s) the issue concerns and, where it applies, the record id, the query you ran, and the ids you expected. It is not for web search or third-party results or context. Sending feedback is optional, and the tool returns only a receipt id rather than echoing the report back.
3. v5
### International trials and PatentCore
July 2026
TrialCore now spans non-US trials from the WHO ICTRP, and PatentCore adds patents as a new linked core.
- TrialCore search and lookup now cover 1.2M+ trials — ClinicalTrials.gov plus non-US national registries via the WHO ICTRP (EUCTR, ChiCTR, JPRN, ISRCTN, and more).
- Every trial record carries its source: a native registry ID (populated even for non-US trials, which have no NCT Id), the source registry, and a link to the trial on that registry.
- The get\_amass\_trialcore\_record tool now accepts a registry ID (not just an Amass Id or NCT Id), so you can fetch non-US trials by their native registry id.
- PatentCore search and lookup (preview) — patent publications with bibliographic metadata, full text (title, abstract, claims, description), CPC/IPC classifications, inventors/assignees, key dates, and citation lineage. Search the full text with filters for jurisdiction, classification, assignee/inventor, dates, and citation count.
- PatentCore search collapses each patent family to one result, so an invention filed across many jurisdictions takes a single slot — the collapsed siblings' Amass IDs ride along on the kept record.
- Patent records cross-link to DrugCore (the drugs disclosed in or linked to a patent) and BioMedCore (via references), and you can look a patent up directly by its publication number or Amass Id.
4. v4
### GeneCore, target intelligence, and drug targets
June 2026
GeneCore brings human genes into the linked cores with a full target-intelligence layer and DrugCore now carries the gene targets each drug acts on.
- GeneCore search and lookup — harmonized gene records with approved symbols, names, synonyms, gene families, gene type (biotype), RefSeq functional summary, genomic location, external identifiers, and UniProt protein annotations.
- Search filters for gene type/biotype, druggability, CRISPR essentiality, ChEMBL target class, clinical-precedent tractability (by modality and stage), curated safety liabilities, and gnomAD LOEUF constraint.
- DrugCore records now return each drug's mechanisms of action — how it acts on each pharmacological target, its mode of action, and the target genes it hits.
- Records link both ways: gene records point to the drugs (DrugCore) that target them, and drug records now carry their gene targets.
5. v3
### RegulatoryCore and DrugCore
June 2026
Coverage extends past papers and trials into the regulatory record and the drugs themselves — each core cross-linked to the rest.
- RegulatoryCore search and lookup — FDA and EMA on one schema, from NDA/BLA approvals to EMA marketing authorizations. Filter by agency, molecule type, authorization status, authorization date, and orphan designation; cross-agency by default.
- DrugCore search and lookup — harmonized drugs and molecules with trade names, synonyms, modality, clinical stage, and chemical structure. Filter by modality and clinical stage.
- A new tool pulls the full text of a single regulatory document section — FDA labels and reviews, EMA SmPCs and EPARs.
- Records now link across all four cores: a drug connects to its trials, its literature, and its regulatory authorizations.
6. v2
### Better search, richer records
May 2026
The two launch cores grew filters, optional full text, and the cross-links that tie papers and trials together.
- BioMedCore search gained filters for publication date, journal quality (JuFo tier), retraction status, and author or institution — by name, ORCID, or ROR.
- TrialCore search gained filters for phase, recruitment status, study type, intervention type, start date, and whether results have posted.
- Fetching a publication can now return its full text on request, not just the abstract.
- Records carry their cross-references — publication-to-trial links, plus what each record cites and what cites it.

FAQ
## Questions about the connector.
Which assistants is the Amass MCP available in?
Claude (Pro/Max/Team/Enterprise, listed in the connector directory), ChatGPT (Plus/Business/Enterprise/Edu, listed in the plugin directory), Claude Code and Codex CLI. In Microsoft Copilot, Amass is a data source you add from the + menu. Perplexity, Gemini CLI, Cursor, VS Code and other MCP clients connect with the generic connection details under Install, "Other clients".
Is the connector approved by Anthropic, OpenAI, or others?
Amass is listed in Claude's connector directory and in ChatGPT's plugin directory (the former app store), with one-click installs in both. Other MCP clients add it as a custom connector, which works the same way.
Do I need an API key?
No. You sign in once with your Amass account when you connect, and the MCP uses your plan's access.
Does this work on ChatGPT Plus?
Yes. The Amass MCP works on ChatGPT Plus, Business, Enterprise and Edu, with a one-click install from ChatGPT's plugin directory (the former app store). If your tenant blocks third-party apps, use the developer-mode fallback.
What data does Amass have access to?
Only the queries the assistant sends and the responses we return. The assistant itself runs on your provider's infrastructure.
My company uses Microsoft 365. What are my options?
Add Amass from the + menu in Microsoft Copilot under Change data sources, then sign in with your Amass account. If Amass does not show up there yet, or an administrator has to approve new sources, we will help with the setup.

# Install Amass MCP via ChatGPT developer mode — fallback
Fallback install: ChatGPT developer mode
# Install Amass MCP via ChatGPT developer mode.
Use this if your tenant doesn't show Amass in ChatGPT's plugin directory yet. Some Enterprise tenants block third-party apps. The connector is the same; only the install path differs.
[Back to the standard install](https://amass.tech/mcp#install-others)
Available on ChatGPT Plus, Business, Enterprise, and Edu. This fallback path uses Settings → Apps → Developer mode on the ChatGPT web app — only needed when the Amass MCP app-store listing isn't visible to your tenant.
1. Open Settings → Apps and turn on Developer mode.
From the ChatGPT sidebar, click your avatar → **Settings** → **Apps**. Developer mode is off by default — flip it on. ChatGPT will warn that it's an elevated-risk feature; that's expected.
NoteMemory is automatically disabled in chats that use developer-mode connectors. Leave Enforce CSP in developer mode off unless your IT team requires it.
Settings → AppsToggle Developer mode — **Create app** appears
2. Click Create app and fill in the connector details.
A **New App** dialog opens. Use these values exactly. Description and icon are optional.

3. Sign in to Amass and allow access.
ChatGPT redirects to `auth.amass.tech`. Sign in with your existing Amass account, then press **Allow access**. Your Amass plan's entitlements apply through the connector — no API keys to manage.
NoteYou'll see the Amass mark, ChatGPT's avatar, and the email you're signed in as. Confirm it's the right account before allowing access.
auth.amass.techPress **Allow access**
4. Confirm Amass MCP is connected.
You're returned to ChatGPT and a green **“Amass MCP is now connected”** toast appears. Amass MCP also shows up under **Apps → Drafts**(private apps you've created in developer mode).
ConfirmationToast appears in the top of the app
5. Start a new chat and attach Amass MCP.
In the composer, click the + button and select **Amass MCP**from the menu. The composer gets a red Amass MCP chip and an orange ring — Amass is now in the conversation's tool stack.
- Open a new chat (or reuse an existing one).
- Click the `+` in the composer.
- Pick **Amass MCP** from the dropdown.
ComposerClick **+** → select **Amass MCP**
You'll be redirected to sign in with your Amass account. Your existing plan's access applies through the MCP.

FAQ
## Questions about plans and billing
Do I need a credit card to sign up for Free?
No. Free needs an account but no card, and it never converts to a paid plan automatically.
Is MCP available on the Free tier?
Yes. MCP access is on every plan, Free included. Connect Amass to Claude, ChatGPT, Claude Code, Codex or any MCP client.
What counts as a report?
A report is a document Amass writes from a plan: in Build you review the sections, press Run plan, and get a report with numbered citations and its working trace. Answers in Ask and MCP calls are not reports. They draw on your usage allowance, and the app shows your balance.
What happens when I run out of my usage allowance?
Ask, Build and MCP calls pause until the allowance resets on your billing date, and reports pause with them, since each starts with a planning step that uses the allowance. On Standard, auto top-up under Settings › Subscription charges your saved card before you run out, at the amount, trigger and monthly cap you set. The monthly allowance is spent first; topped-up usage never expires. Fair use is a separate limit: it covers unlimited reports, has no cut-off, and means we contact heavy users.
What's the difference between Basic, Standard, and Business?
Basic and Standard are single-seat plans. Basic includes 5 reports and a larger usage allowance than Free. Standard has unlimited reports under fair use and our largest single-seat allowance, for people who use Amass daily. Business is up to 10 seats in a shared workspace, with one pooled allowance and priority support. Above 10 seats, it's Enterprise.
Can I switch plans later?
Yes. Upgrades apply immediately, downgrades at the next billing cycle. Basic, Standard and Business have no contract.
How does billing work for the Amass API?
The API is billed separately, by usage, every month. Same login, separate billing stream, so a Business subscription and an API account run side by side without double-charging.
Can you build custom agents or integrations for us?
Yes. Amass Professional Services gives you dedicated developer time to build agents, integrations and workflows for your team. Contact us to scope one.
Do you offer academic or non-profit pricing?
Yes. Email hello@amass.tech and we'll work something out.
## Start with Free. Move when you’re ready.
No card required, and Free never turns into a paid plan on its own.

# Amass for SciSure — The science behind your experiments
Amass for SciSure
# Explore the science behind your experiments
Amass and SciSure are bringing scientific intelligence directly into the lab workflow. Add your experiments to a research question and follow the evidence across literature, trials, patents, drugs and genes, without leaving SciSure.
[Get started with SciSure](#get-started)[See how it works](#how-it-works)
Choose the experiment sections you share. Inspect the sources behind the response.
Runs inside
[Jump to an example response](#example-response)[View full size (opens in a new tab)](https://amass.tech/scisure/01-amass-inside-scisure.png)
## Scientific intelligence inside your lab notebook
Amass connects scientific sources through specialized \*Cores, so you can follow one question across domains in one conversation. The SciSure integration adds your own experiments as context.
Researchers organize and document their experiments in SciSure's electronic laboratory notebook. Amass runs inside it.
- Literature
- Clinical trials
- Patents
- Regulatory
- Drugs
- Genes
- Live web
How it works
## From your experiment to the supporting evidence
1. Step 1
### Bring your experiments into the conversation
Search your SciSure experiments and add up to five experiments that bear on your question. Amass then reads the evidence in the context of your work.
[View full size (opens in a new tab)](https://amass.tech/scisure/02-select-experiments.png)
2. Step 2
### Choose what Amass reads
Preview the text, select sections and optionally mask compound IDs before the context joins your conversation.
[View full size (opens in a new tab)](https://amass.tech/scisure/03-review-shared-context.png)
3. Step 3
### Ask about your own research
Ask Amass to review a methodology, investigate possible explanations for an unexpected result or find evidence that challenges a hypothesis. Your experiment is the starting point.
[View full size (opens in a new tab)](https://amass.tech/scisure/04-ask-about-experiment.png)
4. Step 4
### Review the answer and its sources
Read the suggestions next to the evidence behind them. The references separate sources cited from sources reviewed, and follow-up questions stay inside SciSure.
[View full size (opens in a new tab)](https://amass.tech/scisure/05-answer-and-references.png)
Example workflow using demonstration experiment data.
Example questions
## Questions to ask about your experiment
- Review this methodology against relevant published studies. Where are the gaps?
- What could explain this unexpected result, and which evidence supports each explanation?
- Find evidence that challenges our working hypothesis.
- Which follow-up experiments could help distinguish between these explanations?
Open the references and judge how the evidence applies to your study before you act on the answer.
Your data
## You choose the context you share
Select the experiment sections relevant to your question and review the text before you share it with Amass. The integration uses selected text; experiment attachments and images are excluded.
### Preview the content
See selected experiments, sections and an approximate word count.
### Mask compound IDs
Optionally replace compound identifiers with masked labels. Names, sample codes and patient identifiers are not masked by this control.
### Check the scope
The interface shows which sections are included and whether compound IDs are masked.
Customer data, including queries, documents, results and outputs, is never used to train, fine-tune, or improve AI models. This applies to Amass models and to any third-party model providers we use.
[Read about Amass data security](https://amass.tech/security)
Get started
## Get started with Amass in SciSure
Open Amass from your SciSure workspace and start with a research question.
### Already using SciSure?
You need an Amass account and access to the integration in your SciSure workspace. Once it's enabled, open the Amass tab and ask a question, or add an experiment for context.

FAQ
## Questions about Amass in SciSure
Can I ask questions without attaching an experiment?
Yes. Start with a scientific question, or select experiments to add context from your own work.
What can I add from SciSure?
Select up to five experiments and choose the sections to include. The integration shares text only; attachments and images are excluded. The selector lets you browse the latest 100 experiments.
Can I check the evidence behind a response?
Yes. Inspect the references and distinguish sources cited in the response from those reviewed during the research.
What does compound ID masking cover?
It replaces compound identifiers with masked labels. Names, sample codes and patient identifiers are not masked by this control. Review the selected text before sharing it.
What does access cost?
Contact Amass to confirm access and pricing for your SciSure workspace. General Amass plans are available on [our pricing page](https://amass.tech/pricing).

# Your data stays private, and it stays yours.
You work in a regulated environment and need to know where your data goes. Amass keeps each customer’s index separate, hosts it in EU regions and never trains models on your data.
EU hostingEnterprise cloud infrastructure
Infrastructure
## Cloud infrastructure hosted in EU regions
The Amass stack is hosted on enterprise cloud infrastructure in EU regions.
### Managed Kubernetes
Container orchestration with provider SLAs, private networking and automatic failover.
### Model providers under contract
Our third-party model providers are contractually barred from retaining or training on your data. Enterprise data processing terms apply by default.
### Hardware-backed secrets + managed PostgreSQL
Secrets in hardware-backed key storage, and a managed relational database encrypted at rest and in transit.
Single-tenant and bring-your-own-cloud deployments are available if you need stricter isolation.
Data privacy
## Your queries never touch a training pipeline.
Customer data (queries, documents, results and outputs) is never used to train, fine-tune or improve AI models, ours or those of the third-party providers we use. The commitment is written into our contracts.
Retrieval and generation are separate. Private data is retrieved from your authorized index and used only inside the isolated context of that request. It never feeds public web search, cross-customer learning or model training.
- Tenant isolation: your data index is never co-mingled with other customers
- No public indexing: your documents are never surfaced to other users or search engines
- Right to deletion: request log deletion at any time
- Usage logs: for operational monitoring only, never analytics or training
Access control
## Identity and permissions through your IdP
Amass connects to your identity provider and enforces role-based access per workspace and per tenant.
### SSO
SAML, OIDC, SCIM via Microsoft Entra ID or your IdP
### RBAC
Role-based access control per workspace
### MFA
Multi-factor authentication required on every account
### Just-in-time provisioning
Users are provisioned and deprovisioned automatically
### Per-tenant isolation
No cross-tenant data access

# HACK_002: Signal From Tomorrow, Vienna
HACK\_002: Signal From Tomorrow, HOIV Vienna, 26–27 September 2026
# Three science tracks, and twenty-four hours to build one of them.
Amass is a partner of [HACK\_002](https://events.teloscircle.com/hackathon-02/), the hackathon running under the line “building the future we were promised”, and every team gets **$500 in Amass API credits**. Amass is one REST API over six cross-linked \*Cores: 43M+ papers, 1.2M+ clinical trials, 22K+ molecules, 43K+ genes, FDA and EMA authorizations, and patents. Every answer arrives with the record it came from.
You do not need to be a developer to use any of it, and you do not need a biology degree to enter Block B. Each of the three tracks below opens with a picture of what a finished entry looks like, then three concrete places to start, then a prompt you can paste straight into Cursor.
[Get started →](https://amass.tech/onboarding/signal-from-tomorrow)[Pick your track ↓](#tracks)
Doors open at 12:00 on Saturday, building runs from 13:00 to 13:00, and judging follows lunch on Sunday. The venue is HOIV, Arsenalstraße 11, 1030 Vienna, with 24-hour access. Registration and the full schedule are on [Luma](https://luma.com/1ka4b1nm) and the [Telos Circle event page](https://events.teloscircle.com/hackathon-02/). Questions for us: [hello@amass.tech](mailto:hello@amass.tech).
Pick a track
## Which one is yours
Choosing is the first and largest decision of the weekend, so here are the three side by side. Nothing stops you from moving later, but the entries that land tend to be the ones that picked at 13:00 on Saturday and never looked up.

### AI for Longevity & Aging
Choose this if
You like working with real data, you can read a statistics table, or you already have opinions about ageing biology.
You will build
A tool, model, analysis, or hypothesis about ageing and healthspan.
Judged on
Held-out error, or an effect estimate with its uncertainty. Explain the sampling and the confounding, and say why the result does not establish a treatment benefit.

You like dynamical systems, graphs, or simulation, and you would rather watch something behave than fit something to a table.
You will build
A simulation or an experiment around neural and brain-inspired systems.
Judged on
Pattern recall, response delay, network stability, or another metric you define, measured across a parameter sweep and against a baseline.

### AI for Scientific Discovery
Choose this if
You like building tools and agents, and you are more interested in how research gets done than in any single result.
You will build
A system that speeds up one stage of the scientific process.
Judged on
Citation support, reviewer agreement, false positives, or time saved, against a manual or simple baseline. A generated hypothesis is not a validated discovery, and saying so in the demo counts in your favour.
[See the starting points](#discovery)
A note on judging
Block B is judged by **Constantin Convalexius** (Medical University of Vienna, Harvard) and **Lucas Mair** (Technical University of Munich, ProviGen), alongside the general panel. They will have seen the underlying literature before. The Measure line on each card above is the closest thing to a published rubric, so treat it as one.

Track B1
### AI for Longevity & Aging
Biomarkers, ageing clocks, biological data, literature, and the research workflows around them. Public datasets are plentiful here, so this is the track with the shortest distance between sitting down and having a first result on screen.
BioMedCoreGeneCorePublic datasets
How it is measured
Held-out error, or an effect estimate with its uncertainty. Explain the sampling and the confounding, and say why the result does not establish a treatment benefit.

#### Which ageing clock says what
4 studies · 5 clocks · JuFo 2+
Four published studies down the side and five DNA methylation clocks across the top. Each cell reports whether that study found significant epigenetic age acceleration, significant deceleration, a non-significant result, or did not report the clock at all.

Read the Horvath column downwards. It runs up, up, ns, down across four studies, so the clock you pick is a choice you have to defend.

Question: does epigenetic age acceleration track disease severity,
and do the different clocks agree with each other?
Use the Amass API at api.amass.tech with my key in AMASS_API_KEY.
Search BioMedCore for studies since 2023, keep only journals with
journalQualityJufo 2 or higher, and for each paper pull out which
clocks were measured and which direction each one moved.
Lay it out as a matrix with one row per study and one column per
clock, put the PMID on every row, and mark every cell where two
studies disagree. Do not average the disagreements away.

Kinetics you can set
Phosphorylation at Ser-1516 by PKC slows inactivation and reduces peak sodium current. That is a knob in your model with a measurement behind it.
What breaking it does
Variants cause Dravet syndrome, generalized epilepsy with febrile seizures plus, and familial hemiplegic migraine 3. Your perturbation has a clinical phenotype attached.

Help me build a small spiking network and a real baseline.
Goal: a 100-neuron spiking network in Brian2 that learns one
input pattern, plus a control with the synaptic weights shuffled.
Set it up so I can sweep one parameter and plot pattern recall
against that sweep, with the control on the same axes.
Give me a spike raster for both conditions.

parameter I have hard-coded, and mark which ones I picked out of
convenience rather than from a measurement.

Amass does not simulate anything, and it is not meant to on this track. What it does is settle the assumptions argument. One GeneCore call tells you what is actually measured about the channel or receptor your model leans on, so the assumptions slide cites a record instead of a memory.

We are not at the venue this time. We are on the event Discord for the whole weekend, and we run a mentor session on Saturday.
Mentor session
We run a **mentor session at 16:00**. Bring the question you are stuck on, even if the build is still a sketch.

We are remote, and in [Discord](https://discord.gg/sEGaBHMhWa) for the full 24 hours, or at [hello@amass.tech](mailto:hello@amass.tech). Questions about credits, endpoints, or which \*Core holds what are all fair game.
Playbook
## Six things worth knowing before 13:00 on Saturday
These are what separate an entry that lands from one that spends the weekend fighting its own plumbing.
01
### Narrow until it feels too small.
Twenty-four hours is the real constraint, and every track’s brief opens by asking for one narrow, testable question. A finished small thing wins against an unfinished large one, and the judges can tell the difference from the back of the room.
02
### Build the baseline first.
Every Measure line in Block B asks for a comparator. Shuffled weights, a random classifier, the manual version of the workflow. The baseline takes twenty minutes and it is what turns your number into a result.
03
### Show where it fails.
Two of the three track briefs ask for failures explicitly. A demo that names its own failure mode reads as finished work. A demo that hides it reads as a demo that has not been tested.
04
### Cite it or drop it.
Every Amass record carries a stable id and a route back to its source, so there are no invented PMIDs and no invented NCT numbers. That is the whole reason to query the data rather than ask a model from memory.
05
### Let the build assistant write the calls.
Describe what you want in plain language and it answers with the endpoint, the filters, and the field names, straight from the documentation. That removes the part of the weekend where you guess at parameter names from a schema nobody has read.
06
### Read the envelope, respect the limit.
Results arrive under data and failures arrive under error, so check for an error before you parse. The limit is 60 requests per 60 seconds; on a 429, read Retry-After and back off. There is no paging, so narrow with filters instead.
Prototype in Claude
## Sketch it in a chat before you write any app code.
Connect the Amass MCP in Claude, Cursor, ChatGPT, or Codex and query all six \*Cores in natural language. Explore the data, find the filters that work, and only then drop the same queries into your build. On Sunday it doubles as the demo: the answers come back cited in the chat, with nothing to deploy.
In Claude Code, install the Amass skill and let the model wire up your data layer for you. That is a short path from “what is even in here?” to a working prototype, which is the right question to answer on Saturday afternoon rather than Sunday morning.

By workflow
## What Amass helps you do
Six research workflows, and the \*Cores each one draws on.
### Due diligence
Validate a target, modality or company before capital goes in. Clinical data, patents and publications come back in one cited answer you can defend when the committee asks for the source.
VC, Pharma BD, BiotechPatentCoreTrialCoreDrugCoreBioMedCore
### Competitive intelligence
See what competitors are filing, testing and publishing in your targets and indications. Patents, trials, regulatory records and papers come back in one answer your whole team reads from the same sources.
Pharma R&D, Biotech, VCTrialCorePatentCoreRegulatoryCoreBioMedCore
### Literature review
Synthesize the evidence on a mechanism, target or indication from BioMedCore's 43M+ papers. Each finding links to the paper it came from, so you can check the passage before you rely on it.
Pharma R&D, CRO, ConsultingBioMedCoreGeneCore
### Pipeline monitoring
Follow trials, regulatory filings and publications in an indication over time. Ask what changed since your last look and get new registrations, status changes and approvals back with their sources.
VC, Pharma R&D, BiotechTrialCoreRegulatoryCore
### Patent landscape and FTO
Map patent families, find whitespace and flag freedom-to-operate risks for your compound or mechanism. PatentCore holds 170M+ patents from every major office worldwide, with claims, applicants and citation lineage.
