Built for catching citation hallucinations in academic writing. This server verifies references against real academic databases to confirm they actually exist, then lets you export validated citations as BibTeX for use in LaTeX and reference managers. Reach for this when you're working with AI-generated research content or compiling bibliographies and need to verify that cited papers, books, or articles are real rather than plausible-sounding fabrications. The stdio transport makes it straightforward to integrate into writing workflows where citation accuracy matters more than speed.
