CiteProof AI MCP Overview

CiteProof-AI-MCP checks research evidence supplied by an agent, including quoted text, numbers, DOIs, citations, PRISMA counts, and risk-of-bias judgements. It exposes 40 audit tools over a local stdio MCP server and stores review records and exportable audit data on the host machine. The server has no language model and does not search for papers or make study-selection decisions; the connected agent performs those tasks. Reach for it when a systematic review needs reproducible checks and an audit trail.

Primary Use Cases for CiteProof AI MCP:
  • Verify quotations and reported numbers in a systematic review
  • Track PRISMA screening and deduplication counts
  • Check DOI, retraction, and reference-list consistency
  • Audit risk-of-bias judgements and reviewer agreement
