Does a cited URL exist, and does the source name what your claim names? Two answers. Connect the official Citation Check MCP server to Claude, ChatGPT, or Cursor through gate — one gateway URL, no config files, security-checked.

Real prompts you can type the moment it's connected — no setup, no docs to read.
“Use “check_citation”: Fetch a URL and report whether it exists, and whether the source names the same entity as the claim you attach to it. These are two differen.”
“Use “verdict_meanings”: The exact semantics of every status and relevance value, including what this checker cannot determine. Read once before trusting a verdict.”
Every server in the gate directory has to pass the same four checks before your AI can touch it. Here's how Citation Check holds up.
Operated by Citation Check (fly.dev) at its documented MCP endpoint — not a third-party mirror or community re-host.
This server only exposes public data — no account and no credentials are involved when you connect.
gate checks every tool for prompt injection, hidden instructions, data-exfiltration hints, and over-broad permissions before the server is available through your gateway.
If Citation Check adds or changes tools later, gate re-scans and alerts you — before your AI acts on the change.
Add one gateway URL to Claude, ChatGPT, or any MCP client. One-time setup, about two minutes.
Choose Citation Check in the gate directory. No sign-in needed.
Citation Check's tools are live in every AI client you've connected — with rules and logging built in.

Fetched live from the official endpoint and re-checked daily by gate — not marketing copy.

https://exmachina-ai.fly.dev/verifyYes — Citation Check operates its own remote MCP server at exmachina-ai.fly.dev. gate connects you to that official endpoint and adds security scanning, per-tool access rules, and an activity log on top.
Add gate's gateway URL to your AI client once, then pick Citation Check in the directory. No account or sign-in is needed. From then on, Citation Check's tools are available in every client you've connected to gate.
No. Citation Check runs the server, and gate is fully managed. You just connect one URL — there's nothing to install, deploy, or maintain.
It's the vendor's official endpoint, and gate scans its tools for prompt injection and hidden instructions before it goes live, re-checks it whenever it changes, and lets you allow, block, or require approval for every single tool.
Yes — you can get started with gate for free and connect Citation Check in minutes. No credit card required.
Every server below works through the same gateway URL — connect once, add tools anytime.
