Groundcheck MCP Server

Verify factual claims against live sources: verdict, confidence score, and citations over MCP. Exposed over MCP by the groundcheck mcp server, that capability becomes something an assistant can invoke while it works, not something you go and do afterwards.

What it actually does

Groundcheck verifies a factual claim against live sources and returns a verdict, a confidence score, and citations. Any agent — Claude Code, Cursor, your own — can call it mid-task, before it states a fact it isn't sure of.

• retrieves — sources first, then asks only the narrow, evidence-anchored question — does
• refuses on conflict — and saturates confidence, so disagreement flows to unverified
• returns citations — , so the verdict is checkable, not taken on the model's word

Adding it to your client

Being a remote server, there is no local install. You register the endpoint with your client, authorise it once, and the tools appear.

Configuration

You will need 7 environment variables: GROQ_API_KEY, GROUNDCHECK_ENGINE_URL, GROUNDCHECK_SEARCH_URL, GROUNDCHECK_SEARCH_KEY, GROUNDCHECK_ROUTER_PATH, GROUNDCHECK_ENGINE_HOST, GROUNDCHECK_REPO_URL. The server will not start without them, which is usually why the tools fail to appear on a first run. Keep credentials in your client's env block or a secrets manager rather than in a file you might commit.

Caveats

• Your data travels to the provider's service, so the usual questions apply about what you send and what they retain.
• Missing credentials fail quietly in some clients — if no tools show up, check the environment block first.
• MCP clients confirm each tool call by default. Leave that on until you have watched what the groundcheck mcp server does with a few real requests.

When to reach for it

Plenty of developer tooling servers cover similar ground. The differences that matter in practice are scope of access and how much setup stands between you and a working tool call.
