Real prompts you can type the moment it's connected — no setup, no docs to read.
“Use “verify_citation”: Checks every legal citation in the given text against primary sources: does the cited case exist (Layer 1, CourtListener database lookup — d.”
“Use “verify_document”: Fetches a document (PDF, DOCX, or plain text) from a URL and runs the same 3-layer citation verification as verify_citation. Use this when y.”
“Use “get_verification”: Retrieves a previously run CitationSafe verification (by the verificationId returned from verify_citation/verify_document, or from a citatio.”
“Use “batch_verify_citations”: Runs the same 3-layer citation verification as verify_citation across multiple texts in a single call. Each item is billed against your Cita.”
Every server in the gate directory has to pass the same four checks before your AI can touch it. Here's how Citation Safe Verifier holds up.
Operated by Citation Safe Verifier (citationsafe.com) 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 Safe Verifier 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 Safe Verifier in the gate directory. No sign-in needed.
Citation Safe Verifier's tools are live in every AI client you've connected — with rules and logging built in.

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 Safe Verifier in minutes. No credit card required.
