agentcite-mcp

MCP server that returns real, DOI-backed peer-reviewed citations for any topic — so AI agents stop hallucinating sources. Thin stdio client over the hosted AgentCite API (data from openAlex, 250M+ records, CC0).

Install

Add to your MCP client config (Claude Desktop, Cursor, etc.):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "agentcite": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "agentcite-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Pro tier (5,000/day): add "env": { "AGENTCITE_API_KEY": "your-key" }.

Tool

get_citations(topic, n?, since?) → real works with title, authors, year, resolvable DOI, citation count, venue, and a ready-to-paste markdown block.

• topic — subject to find citations for (e.g. "red light therapy hair growth")
• n — how many (default 5, max 50)
• since — earliest publication year (e.g. 2015)
