FutureSearch is an AI platform focused on predictive research.

What is FutureSearch?
The positioning of FutureSearch's official website is "AI forecasting with a public track record", and it states that its research is adopted by Anthropic, OpenAI, Google and xAI. Its difference from general research-oriented assistants lies in verifiability: the official website makes public rankings, list rounds and real market positions, and indicates the data crawling time, instead of only providing a single number.
Who is it for?
- Strategic and investment teams evaluate the multiple possible outcomes of a decision
- People who need structured prediction data for quantitative analysis and screening scenarios
- Research institutions and policy teams conduct scenario analysis
- Entrepreneurs and product studios to validate industry directions and ideas
- People who already use Claude, Cursor or Codex and want to equip their assistants with forecasting capabilities
Key features
6Four types of questions
Probability (whether something will happen given certain conditions), numerical value (what a certain indicator will reach), date (when a threshold will be crossed), and multiple choice (who will be elected). The official homepage provides example phrasings for each type.
Public Performance
The official website states that it ranks 2nd out of 284 entries in the Metaculus FutureEval, 7th out of 304 entries in the October 5, 2026 round of MiniBench, and leads 681 out of 683 human predictors in the Metaculus Cup; its best robot performance on ForecastBench ranks 10th out of 463 entries.
Real-Market Trading
It has live positions on Kalshi, Polymarket and the S&P 500. The official website states that every position and the underlying research behind it are made public, including losing positions.
Research Agent Team
For tasks that require prior research, you can assign a single question to a team of agents, or add a "Research Completed" column to each row in your list.
MCP Integration
Add mcp.futuresearch.ai/mcp as a custom connector for Claude Desktop, or use `claude mcp add` to integrate it with Claude Code. According to the official website, this allows Claude to incorporate the known information about your side into its predictions.
Pricing per question
The official website states that each question costs between $0.25 and $5, corresponding to low to high levels of investment.
How to use FutureSearch
- 1First run one question with the free credit, compare the difference in results between the low and high investment tiers, and then decide how to allocate your budget.
- 2Frame your questions to be verifiable: specify the time window, metrics, and triggering conditions; otherwise, it will be impossible to settle the outcome afterward.
- 3When citing performance records, specify the round and data capture date. The official website notes that the leaderboard data was captured on October 26, 2026, and rankings are for reference only and not a commitment.
- 4Before connecting to MCP, first confirm that the question text sent to the remote end contains no confidential information, and then decide whether to include your context.
- 5Forecast outputs should not be directly treated as investment advice. The official website also states that losing positions will be disclosed, and you are responsible for your own risk control.
