Citeline
Add Citeline to your product for your customers, and give your AI agents governed access to it.
Embed a Citeline integration so your customers can query their own licensed pharmaceutical and clinical intelligence data from inside your product, with governed agent access to the same records. What your product can read is determined by each customer's own licence and credentials, mapped per tenant as configuration rather than code. Pagination and throttling are handled for you, and large reads are rate-limited so a bulk query does not exhaust a customer's allowance.
In your product
Embedded for your customers. Per-tenant auth, no per-customer code, maintained by fastn.
Let customers query their own licensed Citeline datasets from inside your product, under their own credentials.
Map returned fields to your product's records so results sit alongside a customer's own data.
Cache and refresh the datasets your product depends on within each customer's licence terms.
Trigger your product when a scheduled refresh completes so downstream views update.
For your AI agents
Governed, audited access for the agents you build, through the MCP server.
An agent runs a query and summarises the results before a research review.
An agent pulls records matching a set of criteria within governed permissions, with the read logged.
An agent reacts to a completed refresh and flags records that changed since the last run.
Example prompt
Find records matching our watch list that changed since the last refresh and summarise what is different.
Set up Citeline in 4 steps
- 01Open the Citeline connector from your fastn dashboard.
- 02Have each customer authenticate with their own Citeline credentials and licensed datasets.
- 03Map the datasets and fields your product reads, then enable actions and triggers.
- 04Call them from your product, or expose them to an agent through the MCP server.
Why teams use the Citeline integration
What you get by embedding it with fastn instead of building it yourself.
- Ship a Citeline integration without building it. Your customers connect their own Citeline account inside your product and work their lookups, results and reports there, with no per-customer code on your side.
- Handle the part that actually costs time: these are metered read sources, so an uncached lookup on every page view burns the customer's allowance. fastn owns the auth, token refresh, rate limits, pagination and breaking-change fixes, so a Citeline update is not your on-call problem.
- One integration serves your product and your agents. The same governed Citeline connection powers in-product features and gives AI agents scoped, audited access, so you answer questions from an authoritative outside source without holding that data yourself without wiring it twice.

SnowflakeCiteline integration FAQ
How do I add a Citeline integration to my product?
Enable the Citeline connector in your fastn dashboard, then let each customer authenticate their own Citeline account. fastn handles the OAuth flow, token storage and refresh per tenant, so there is no Citeline client code in your app and no per-customer branch in your codebase. Setup is 4 steps.
Do my customers each connect their own Citeline account?
Yes. Every connection is scoped to the individual customer, so each authorises their own Citeline account and only ever sees their own lookups, results and reports. That per-tenant isolation is the point of an embedded integration: you support the long tail of customer setups without maintaining an integration per customer.
Can AI agents use this Citeline integration?
Yes. The same connection is exposed to your agents through the fastn MCP gateway, with permissions scoped per tenant and every call audited. An agent runs a query and summarises the results before a research review.
Who maintains the Citeline integration?
fastn does. When Citeline changes an endpoint, deprecates a field or alters its auth, the fix lands in the connector rather than in your backlog, and your customers' connections keep working.
Whose credentials does a Citeline lookup run under?
Each customer's own. Quota and cost land on the customer that caused them rather than on a shared key you have to meter and re-bill, and one heavy customer cannot exhaust another's allowance.
How should Citeline results be cached?
Per tenant, with a window that matches how fast the underlying data actually moves. Citeline is a read source rather than a system of record, so the same query returns the same answer until the source changes, and caching is the difference between a sustainable integration and one that exhausts a customer's allowance on a busy page.
What can I build with the Citeline integration?
A common starting point: query their own licensed Citeline datasets from inside your product, under their own credentials. Teams also use it for the other use cases listed above, and expose it to agents for governed reads and writes.
How much does the Citeline integration cost?
It is included. Pricing is based on connected accounts, not on how many connectors you enable, so adding Citeline does not change your per-connector cost. You can start free with 3 connected accounts.
