OokCite FAQs

Question 1

How does OokCite help prevent LLM citation hallucination?

Accepted Answer

OokCite includes a `validate_doi` tool that LLMs can use to confirm if a DOI-identified reference actually exists. By integrating this into system prompts, LLMs can be instructed to only cite verified DOIs, effectively preventing fabricated references.

Question 2

What is OokCite and what does it do?

OokCite is an MCP (Model-Client-Protocol) server that enables large language models (LLMs) to validate DOIs, format citations in over 2900 CSL styles, and identify hallucinated references, ensuring the accuracy and reliability of LLM-generated citations.

Question 3

Is OokCite a free service, and are there any usage limits?

Accepted Answer

OokCite connects to the public OokCite API, which offers anonymous usage and free accounts with daily rate limits (e.g., 10-30 lookups/day). Paid plans are available starting at $4/month for higher usage needs.

Question 4

How do I integrate OokCite with my existing LLM client?

Accepted Answer

Integration is straightforward: install the `ookcite-mcp` binary (via cargo-binstall, cargo install, or pre-built binaries), then add a simple JSON configuration to your MCP-compatible LLM client (e.g., Claude, Cursor, Codex) to define the `ookcite` server command.
