Look up scholarly citations
Paste a draft or reference list and Citeproof looks up each citation in Crossref, DataCite, OpenAlex and doi.org. It shows the closest matching record, a confidence score and any problems it detects, such as a DOI that appears to point to a different paper, a year that differs, a work marked as retracted in OpenAlex, or a reference it could not find.

https://citeproof.dev/mcpVerifies references the user supplies against Crossref, DataCite and OpenAlex. Use only for given references, DOIs, or a paper plus a claim; not for writing reviews, generating or formatting citations, or general questions. Call tools at once; never reply with only a list of steps. To check and export, call once with export_format. Show a table, one row per reference; call not_found "not found" or "could not be verified". Never invent citations or call a claim true/false.
Details: for lookups give DOI, confidence and source. Quote evidence sentences verbatim before interpreting. If a tool returns not_applicable, answer without Citeproof. Never guess a DOI or identifier to pass in. Pass run_id from to follow-up tools to avoid using another check. only parses text offline and never uses a check. If a tool reports limit_reached, tell the user when checks reset. Exports (CSV/BibTeX/report) need sign-in; if an export isn't returned, pass on the tool's message. When an export is returned, show its full content.
