What the code does

We read the source, 3 d ago · rules 995398eba69f

In the project's build, not in the package

Found in continuous integration, deployment or infrastructure files, or in a neighbouring package of the same monorepo. None of this is installed when you add the server: it describes how the project is built and released. We list it because a leaked key in a build pipeline is still a real problem, but it is not something this server does on your machine.

Runs an external command src/cited_cli/commands/agent_setup.py:68
    return subprocess.run(cmd, capture_output=True, text=True, timeout=60, check=False)

Is this your server and something here is wrong? Tell us — corrections are free and do not require a plan.

Cited missed one check this week

Everything else answered, so this is steady rather than shaky. We check every 15 minutes, which is how a one-off gets told apart from the start of a pattern, and how you hear about the next one within the hour instead of from your users.

This endpoint answered with an authorization challenge. The server is running, and it signs you in through your browser: there is no API key to paste.

Cited — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no tool list for Cited?
The server answered our handshake with an authorization challenge, so it is running — but it will not describe its tools to an anonymous client. To see them you need to connect with your own credentials. We record it as alive, not as broken: 98.9% of checks in the last 24 hours got a reply.
Is Cited working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 90 of 91 checks got a reply (98.9%), average response time 518 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect Cited?
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. You sign in through your browser once and the client keeps the session: no key to copy, and it refuses anonymous clients.
How do you sign in to Cited?
No API key is involved. Cited answers our knock with an OAuth challenge, so you authorise it once in your browser and the client keeps the session. That is also why we see no tool list: it will not describe itself to an anonymous client, and that is the server working as intended, not a fault.
How fast is Cited?
It answers our handshake in 518 ms on average, which is faster than 23% of all working MCP servers we measure. That is on the slow side — worth knowing if the tool sits inside an interactive loop. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
How many people use Cited?
The pypi package cited-mcp was installed 363 times in the last week. Week over week that is -61%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Cited open source?
We cannot say either way: written in Python, 0 stars on GitHub and 4 open issues, but we could not determine the licence, and without one the code is not open source by default.
