All of science embedded and free: 200M papers searchable by AI agents, no API key
pbaylies · x · 2026-10-12
ScienceMadeReadable offers free semantic search over 200 million scientific studies, fully open source with no key or sign-up (10 req/min limit), plus a zoomable map of science where nearby dots are related papers.
How to hook it up:
- Paste a one-line instruction into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or any web-capable agent pointing at the free API (read llms.txt first)
- Or install it as a skill with a single curl command into /.claude/skills/ or /.agents/skills/ so agents reach for it automatically
- Plain HTTPS+JSON calls, also works from chat tools that can only open links
The pitch: agents should ground answers in actual papers, not blog posts. Embeddings powered by lightonai/DenseOn.
