document

check_document

Audit every citation in a markdown/plain-text document: extracts claim+source pairs (markdown links, footnotes, DOIs, bare URLs), verifies each against the fetched source, and returns a report with a citation integrity score (0-100).

links

check_links

Liveness-only check (no LLM): extracts all cited URLs and reports dead links, homepage redirects, and archive.org availability.

verify

verify_claims

Verify claim+source pairs: fetches each cited URL and returns a per-claim verdict (supported / partially_supported / contradicted / unsupported / uncertain / could_not_fetch) with a quoted evidence span from the source.

Citeguard — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Citeguard do?

It exposes 3 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: check_document, check_links, verify_claims. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →

Is Citeguard working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 35 of 35 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 261 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

How do I connect Citeguard?

Copy the ready config from this page. We generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each in the form that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.

Does Citeguard need an API key?

No. Citeguard completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 3 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is Citeguard?

It answers our handshake in 261 ms on average, which is faster than 54% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.

How many people use Citeguard?

The npm package citeguard was installed 61 times in the last week. Week over week that is +12%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.

Is Citeguard open source?

The code is open source: it is published under the MIT licence, written in JavaScript and 0 stars on GitHub. The licence covers the code in the repository, not the hosted service at citeguard.boundy.workers.dev, which runs on its operator's own terms.
