Four workflows, one project

Team, tasks, sources, evidence, screening, analyses, manuscripts and submissions share one workspace, one permission model and one activity log.

Search and evidence
Nine bibliographic sources searched at once, de-duplicated into canonical works, full text fetched where it is legal, quotations anchored to pages.
Read the guide
Systematic review
Protocol, dual screening with conflicts, live PRISMA counts, risk of bias and GRADE — with an assistant that votes but never decides.
Read the guide
Meta-analysis and your data
Pool effects with heterogeneity and bias diagnostics; analyse de-identified datasets in a sandbox; numbers stay bound to their analysis.

Writing and submission
A collaborative editor with tracked changes and object citations, reporting checks, journal packages and point-by-point reviewer responses.

Bring your own AI · no subscription needed

Your agent. Your subscription. Our research tools.

Already paying for Claude, ChatGPT, Codex or Cursor? Connect it to Hikma over MCP in two minutes. Your agent gets more than sixty research tools — search nine bibliographic sources, fetch full texts, extract anchored evidence, draft as tracked changes with object citations, screen, pool, analyse — and Hikma never charges for the thinking. There is nothing to subscribe to.

Step 1
Create a free account
E-mail, Google or ORCID. No card, no plan, no trial clock.
Step 2
Open a project → Assistant → Connect your AI
Pick your client and get a personal key (or sign in through the client with OAuth). Choose which tools it carries.

Step 3

Paste one command

claude mcp add --transport http hikma https://api.hikmaresearch.org/mcp --header "Authorization: Bearer <YOUR-KEY>"

Then ask: “List my Hikma projects.” Codex, Cursor and the others take the same address.

Your agent's own usage is billed by its provider, as it is today. Everything it does through Hikma — searching, reading, evidence, manuscripts, analysis — is free. Where an administrator switches on Hikma's optional built-in assistant, that assistant alone is metered against a project budget.

AI that shows its work

Your own agent — Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, ChatGPT — searches, reads, extracts, screens, analyses, drafts and checks through Hikma over MCP, under three rules it cannot break.

Every citation is an object
Your agent cites works in your library; it cannot type a reference into existence.
Every number has provenance
Numbers point at a verified quotation or an analysis result. Hover to see the source.
You accept, it proposes
Drafts arrive as tracked changes naming the agent that wrote them. Authors stay authors.
