Fact Check Tools (6)
assess_claim
Fast verdict (~10s) via a 3-model panel. The default for checking a claim. Returns one verdict per atomic claim (True / Mostly True / Mixed / Mostly False / False) plus bucketed confidence.
verify_claim
Deep, multi-step investigation (~90s: research → debate → panel review) for high-stakes claims. Returns a `task_id` immediately; poll it with `get_verification`. Costs an order of magnitude more credits than `assess_claim` — reserve it. Pass `depth: "low"` for a shallower, faster research pass (few…
get_verification
Retrieve or poll a `verify_claim` result by `task_id`. Returns `processing`, `needs_input`, or `completed` (verdict, summary, top sources, and the `depth` the verdict was produced at).
select_claims
Resolve a `needs_input` verification — when a `verify_claim` turns up multiple claims or an ambiguity, pick which claim text(s) to run.
Ready-to-Paste Client Configurations
Paste either (or both) of these JSON server blocks into your client config file (e.g. claude_desktop_config.json or ~/.cursor/mcp.json).
Codealive MCP is categorized under Developer Tools and uses a local stdio subprocess. In contrast, Fact Check belongs to Developer Tools using local stdio subprocess. Select Codealive MCP when you need capabilities focused on developer tools and Fact Check when you require tools for developer tools.
Ask a grounded follow-up about a completed `verify_claim` (by its `verification_id`) — answered from the full research, debate, and panel review, not just the summary. Costs credits at the cheap rate, same as `assess_claim`.
check_usage
Your remaining credits, the per-tool price list (`costs`, plus `cost_options` for prices that depend on a parameter such as `depth`), and your current plan.
