Verify citations in AI text: fetches each cited source, returns verdicts with evidence quotes.
Connect Citeguard to Claude, Cursor or any other MCP client and it stops being a tab you switch to. Verify citations in AI text: fetches each cited source, returns verdicts with evidence quotes. The citeguard mcp server is what makes that connection.
Built for the age of vibe citing: AI-drafted reports full of citations that resolve to real URLs but don't say what the text claims they say.
Configuration is passed through the environment: CITEGUARD_JUDGE_PRESET, CITEGUARD_JUDGE_KEY, CITEGUARD_JUDGE_URL, CITEGUARD_JUDGE_MODEL. Treat anything key-shaped as a real credential — scope it to the minimum the server needs, and rotate it if it ever lands in a shared config.
Because this one is hosted, setup is mostly authentication — you point your client at the endpoint and approve access. Nothing runs on your machine, so there is no runtime to keep patched.
This sits in the developer tooling group, where several servers overlap in what they claim to do but differ sharply once you actually set them up. It is maintained by Franksterino; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
