Nothing serious here today

Today is the operative word: we check Citeguard every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.

This one needs environment variables set before it will start: CITEGUARD_JUDGE_PRESET (LLM judge preset: qwen | openai | anthropic), CITEGUARD_JUDGE_KEY (API key for the judge LLM (required for verify_claims/check_document; check_links works without it)). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

Available tools 3

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

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 36 of 36 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 212 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 with the file path 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 212 ms on average, which is faster than 65% 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 64 times in the last week. Week over week that is -24%. 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?

Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in JavaScript and 0 stars on GitHub. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
