Overview

What is Ookcite Mcp?

Ookcite Mcp is an MCP server that validates DOIs, formats citations, manages bibliography collections, and detects hallucinated references. It returns citation metadata only (not PDFs or full-text) and works with any MCP client such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Grok Build, Windsurf, OpenCode, and Qwen agents.

How to use Ookcite Mcp?

Run the setup command: npx @turtletech/ookcite-mcp setup to auto-detect supported clients and write configuration. No API key is required for basic use (10 lookups/day). For higher rate limits and collection tools, add an API key: npx @turtletech/ookcite-mcp setup --key YOUR_API_KEY. Alternative install methods include npm install -g @turtletech/ookcite-mcp, cargo binstall ookcite-mcp, or pre-built binaries from GitHub Releases. After configuration, restart the MCP client or reload its MCP servers.
