Available tools 6

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

citation
citation_report
Verify a bibliography. For every reference: exists, resolves, retracted/corrected/flagged, title/author/year match against the registered record, and a rule-derived fabrication risk — as a signed (Ed25519, RFC 8785 canonical JSON), byte-reproducible JSON report. Input: structured references or BibTeX. No LLM; every claim carries its source and retrieval time. Up to 50 references. Paid: $1.00 USDC per successful call via x402 (eip155:8453). An unpaid call returns the payment requirements (isError). Results carry settled / transaction / network / payer plus the signed report. Use this to check references you already have; to find papers for a question or claim, use evidence_pack_preview / evidence_pack instead.
citation_report_large
Verify a bibliography. For every reference: exists, resolves, retracted/corrected/flagged, title/author/year match against the registered record, and a rule-derived fabrication risk — as a signed (Ed25519, RFC 8785 canonical JSON), byte-reproducible JSON report. Input: structured references or BibTeX. No LLM; every claim carries its source and retrieval time. Up to 70 references. Paid: $3.00 USDC per successful call via x402 (eip155:8453). An unpaid call returns the payment requirements (isError). Results carry settled / transaction / network / payer plus the signed report. Use this to check references you already have; to find papers for a question or claim, use evidence_pack_preview / evidence_pack instead. NOTE: $3.00 is above the @x402/core client's default spend cap (maxAmountPerPayment $1.00); raise it (client.setSpendControls) before calling, or the client refuses without sending anything.
citation_report_preview
Free preview. Verify a bibliography. For every reference: exists, resolves, retracted/corrected/flagged, title/author/year match against the registered record, and a rule-derived fabrication risk — as a signed (Ed25519, RFC 8785 canonical JSON), byte-reproducible JSON report. Input: structured references or BibTeX. No LLM; every claim carries its source and retrieval time. Checks only the first 3 references; unsigned; no payment. Use this to check references you already have; to find papers for a question or claim, use evidence_pack_preview / evidence_pack instead.
citation_report_receipt
Re-fetch a paid report you already bought, by its request_id, within the cache TTL. Free; no payment; the same signed report (request_id re-attached, unsigned, as on the paid result). Over the hosted endpoint GET /v1/citation-report/receipts/<request_id> serves the same bytes; over a local stdio run only that process can. Not found after the TTL, for previews, or for reports served by another process.
evidence
evidence_pack
Find 3-10 scholarly candidates for a question or topic. Returns DOI/OpenAlex IDs, authors, year, venue, source URLs, citation context, open-access location, and known retraction/correction warnings. JSON only. Does not claim that a paper proves a statement. Paid: $0.03 USDC per successful call via x402 (eip155:8453). An unpaid call returns the payment requirements (isError). Results carry settled / transaction / network / payer. Use this when the free evidence_pack_preview (at most 3 candidates) is not enough; to check references you already have, use citation_report instead.
evidence_pack_preview
Free triage for a question or topic: returns at most 3 scholarly candidates with DOI/OpenAlex IDs, authors, year, venue, source URLs, citation context, open-access location and known retraction/correction warnings. JSON only; no payment. Does not claim that a paper proves a statement. For up to 10 candidates use evidence_pack; to check references you already have use citation_report_preview.

Academic Evidence Pack — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Academic Evidence Pack do?
It exposes 6 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: citation_report, citation_report_large, citation_report_preview, citation_report_receipt, evidence_pack, evidence_pack_preview. 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 →
What is Academic Evidence Pack mostly used for?
Its tools cluster around citation and evidence. That is what this server is built to work with — the grouping comes from the actual tool names, not from a category we assigned.
Is Academic Evidence Pack working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 91 of 91 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 295 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect Academic Evidence Pack?
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 Academic Evidence Pack need an API key?
No. Academic Evidence Pack completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 6 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is Academic Evidence Pack?
It answers our handshake in 295 ms on average, which is faster than 49% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
