Refcheck

关于

Refcheck is an MCP server designed to combat the pervasive problem of hallucinated academic citations generated by large language models. It provides AI assistants with direct access to authoritative publication databases, ensuring that every reference returned is backed by a real record. Users can verify individual citations, search for real papers on a given topic, and generate publication-ready BibTeX entries, complete with automatic correction for partial matches and robust fuzzy-matching algorithms. This tool enhances the credibility and accuracy of AI-generated academic content by providing a reliable source of truth for research references.
