Does Senso support MCP and tool calling?

Full under the Agentic Index verification standard. Senso publishes public evidence of Model Context Protocol (MCP) support, tool calling, and API or SDK extensibility for connecting agents to external tools. Evidence basis: A REST API at apiv2.senso.ai covers ingesting, compiling, querying and generating, authenticated with scoped organization API keys.

No vendor pays for placement.

Does Senso require human approval before an agent acts?

Full under the Agentic Index verification standard. Senso publishes public evidence of human approval steps and guardrails, so an agent action can be held for review before it executes. Evidence basis: In the verify stage, only failures and close calls from the automated check escalate to a human reviewer.

Does Senso have SOC 2, SSO and role based access control?

Verified context infrastructure for AI agents, with a compiled, permissioned knowledge base, monitoring of what AI models say about an organization, and a verify and publish loop, reachable by API, MCP server, CLI and agent skills.

Senso is verified context infrastructure for AI agents. Organizations ingest their policies, product data and positioning into a knowledge base that Senso compiles for agents to query, organized as a folder tree with permissions, tags and version history, alongside a brand kit, content types, a product catalog and topics. Senso then runs a six stage loop.

It monitors how ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Perplexity answer the questions an organization is tracked on, finds where answers are missing or wrong, drafts content from verified sources, checks each draft for source support, faithfulness, freshness and permission with only failures and close calls escalating to a human reviewer, publishes structured context for agents to read, and measures whether the answers changed.

Its products are Narrative Control for AI citations across the open web, a Context Layer that keeps internal copilots grounded, Context OS, an API for building on verified context, and a Partner Platform. Developers reach it through a REST API with scoped API keys, an MCP server that queries, reads and ingests over OAuth, a CLI, and installable agent skills for Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and other coding agents. Usage draws on organization credits. Senso publishes a live AI visibility benchmark for credit unions under the CuCopilot name and is backed by Y Combinator. Prices are not published.

Integrations

Senso is API first, with partners such as TribalScale and Fundmore building on Senso's APIs. Senso ingests raw sources from PDFs, wikis and siloed systems through upload, its API, MCP server, CLI and connected agents. There are no native connectors, and connecting Slack and reading a website on a schedule are both coming.

In practice

Your marketing team wants to know what AI models say about your products. Senso runs your tracked prompts against the models you choose on a schedule and files the questions they leave unanswered in a gap report.

Your content team needs to publish answers without putting unchecked copy live. Senso checks each draft for source support, faithfulness, freshness and permission, and only failures and close calls go to a reviewer, who approves or rejects them before anything is published.

Your engineers want an internal coding agent to answer from company policy. They install Senso's agent skills in Claude Code or Cursor, and the agent queries the knowledge base through the MCP server, getting grounded answers that cite the source chunks behind them.

Integrations & Tool Calling	Partial
Content reaches Senso by upload, the API and connected agents, and the review-publish skill publishes approved drafts to a destination. Reading a website on a schedule and connecting Slack are both coming. Shopify, Stripe and website crawling come as code recipes. There is no native, authenticated connector that lets an agent read and act in outside systems. SourceSenso, docs.senso.ai start, agent-skills and recipe pagesread 2026-09-21
Workflow Orchestration	Partial
A fixed six stage loop (ingest, evaluate, remediate, verify, publish, re-observe) runs over a pipeline that ingests, compiles, queries and generates. A quickstart skill sequences the other skills for a customer's coding agent. The pipeline is Senso's own, and customers cannot build workflows with branching, retries, fallbacks or deterministic nodes.

Knowledge Grounding & RAG	Full
Files (PDF, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, HTML, CSV, JSON, XML) and raw text come in through the API. Senso compiles each source before it can be queried and keeps sources in a knowledge base folder tree with permissions, tags and version history. Search returns a grounded answer that cites the source chunks behind it, with their relevance scores, and unanswered questions are filed as gaps. SourceSenso, docs.senso.ai concepts, knowledge-base and mcp-serverread 2026-09-21
Human Oversight & Guardrails	Full
In the verify stage, only failures and close calls from the automated check escalate to a human reviewer. Generated drafts wait in review until a person approves or rejects them, and nothing is published before that. The loop sets out which stages require a human. SourceSenso, senso.ai llms.txt and docs.senso.ai agent-skillsread 2026-09-21
Security, Identity & Governance	Partial
Admin, collaborator and viewer roles sit alongside custom roles built from granular permissions, each an action on a resource. API keys are scoped to knowledge base folders, and each folder has its own access list. OAuth connections to the MCP server act only with the approving person's permissions, using PKCE and rotating refresh tokens. There is no published certification or audit report. SourceSenso, docs.senso.ai permissions and mcp-serverread 2026-09-21
Observability & Auditability	Partial
Every query is recorded as a query turn in search history. Each turn is tagged by source, such as mcp, so agent traffic shows separately in analytics, and unanswered queries go into a gap report. The record shows that each request was made and whether it found an answer. There is no step by step view of the prompts, retrieved chunks, tool calls and outputs in an agent's run. SourceSenso, docs.senso.ai mcp-server and analyticsread 2026-09-21
Memory & State Persistence	Not documented
Shared context in Senso is the organization's knowledge base, which people and their agents query and add to. There is no separate session, conversation or agent memory. SourceSenso, docs.senso.ai shared-context and conceptsread 2026-09-21
Deployment & Data Residency	Not documented
Customers reach Senso as a hosted API, MCP server and application at senso.ai. There is no self hosted, dedicated cloud or VPC option, and customers cannot choose a region. SourceSenso, docs.senso.ai start, concepts and mcp-serverread 2026-09-21
Prebuilt Agents / Templates / Packs	Full
Teams can install a set of agent skills (quickstart, context-layer, evaluate-remediate, generate-verify, publish, search and review-publish) all at once or one at a time, including from the Shipables catalog, for Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini and Cline. Reusable content type templates and recipes, such as a help center crawler and a blog to social converter, sit alongside them.

Model Flexibility & Routing	Not documented
Customers choose which AI models Senso monitors, and a raw context endpoint lets them feed Senso's retrieval into their own LLM. Customers cannot choose the model Senso itself uses to generate answers and drafts. SourceSenso, docs.senso.ai analytics and conceptsread 2026-09-21

Testing, Debugging & Optimization	Full
Before anything Senso generates is published, an automated gate checks each draft for source support, faithfulness, freshness and permission.

Pricing

Not public; credits-based usage

Organization credits consumed by queries and generation, with a spend limit; rates not published.

Cost watchouts

Every query and generation consumes credits, and a call fails with a 402 once credits or the spend limit run out, so automated and monitoring traffic draws down the same balance.

Variable cost rationale

Queries and generation consume organization credits, so cost scales with usage, but no credit rate is published.

Sales call required

Yes, required for paid access

Free / trial

No free tier or trial published

Lowest paid plan

Not publicly listed.

Key ambiguities

senso.ai's llms.txt sends 'Get Started' to a waitlist, while docs.senso.ai offers sign-up and API keys; no pricing page or credit rates are published.
