@mukundakatta/citecite-mcp

MCP server for RAG citation markers. Inject [N] markers into LLM output, parse them back when post-processing, or strip them entirely.

Tools

• inject_citations(text, citations, at?) — append [1] [2] [3] markers at the end of text, or insert at a position offset.
• parse_citations(text) — return every [N] found in source order with position, idx, and marker length.
• strip_citations(text) — remove every [N] marker.

    }
  }
}

Install — Cursor / Cline / Windsurf / Zed

Same shape in each tool's MCP config. Transport is stdio over npx -y @mukundakatta/citecite-mcp.

Use case

You ran a RAG pipeline. The LLM produced an answer. The retrieval layer told you which source chunks were used. Now the LLM (a second pass, or the same agent) needs to inject [1] [2] markers tied to those sources, or to parse markers back out of an existing piece of text. That's what this is for.
