VeriCite - Autonomous Citation Integrity Auditor

An MCP app on the Model Context Protocol built by The QuadForge at the Amrita University Coimbatore NitroStack × MCP To The Moon hackathon and deployed on NitroStack.

About this project

VeriCite is an AI-powered citation integrity auditor that automatically verifies whether a document's claims are accurately supported by their cited sources. Built for researchers, students, educators, publishers, and organizations using AI-assisted writing, it detects fabricated or weak citations, measures citation coverage, analyzes evidence quality, and generates an intuitive trust score with detailed explanations. By combining multi-source scholarly verification, contradiction detection, and automated evidence retrieval, VeriCite helps users identify misinformation before publication, significantly reducing manual verification time while improving the reliability and credibility of technical and academic documents.
