About
Fabrication-free, DOI-backed citations for AI agents — real openAlex sources, never hallucinated.
Security Report
AgentCite is a well-structured MCP server for fetching DOI-backed citations from openAlex. Authentication and authorization are appropriately implemented with free/pro tiers and API key management via Stripe. Permissions align well with the service's purpose (network HTTP for API calls, environment variables for configuration). Minor code quality concerns around error handling and input validation do not materially impact security. Supply chain analysis found 2 known vulnerabilities in dependencies (0 critical, 2 high severity). Package verification found 1 issue (1 critical, 0 high severity).

AgentCite
Fabrication-free, DOI-backed citations for AI content & agents. Every result is a real openAlex record (CC0 public-domain data) with a resolvable DOI — the API never fabricates a source. Built to stop the hallucinated-citation problem that gets content E-E-A-T-demoted.
Separate deployable from giftedpicks.com (own Vercel project). Productizes the logic of
GiftedPicks/scripts/citation_magnet.py.
API (MVP)
GET /api/cite?topic=<q>&n=5&since=YYYY→{ topic, count, works[], markdown, source }- each work:
{ title, authors[], first_author, year, doi, doi_url, cited_by_count, venue, openalex_id }
- each work:
GET /api/health→{ status, openalex, ts }
Data: openAlex REST (relevance-ranked, peer-reviewed type:article). Set
OPENALEX_MAILTO env to join openAlex's polite pool. Edge-cached 1h per topic.
Roadmap (build order)
- ✅ Core
/cite+/health(openAlex REST, no key, no binary — serverless-portable) - ⏳ API-key + quota gate (Supabase: anon free tier rate-limited vs keyed Pro)
- ⏳ MCP server:
get_citations(topic, n, since)(stdio + http) — the agent-native surface - ⏳ Stripe billing (TEST mode first; hosted Checkout/Payment Link → webhook provisions quota).
GATED: needs
.claude/secrets/stripe-test-{publishable,secret}-keysaved by Kevin. LIVE go-live = Kevin places the live secret key in the deploy env; agents never hold it. - Landing page + MCP-registry listings — owned by Cowork.
Guardrails
Public-domain data only (zero scraping / no unofficial-site APIs). Honesty is the product: output always says "verify each DOI resolves." Test-mode payments only until Kevin flips live; agents never move money or hold the live key.
Billing (Stripe)
Pro tier via hosted Stripe Checkout (subscription). On checkout.session.completed,
the signature-verified webhook (/api/stripe-webhook) provisions a Pro API key in
Redis (free→Pro quota elevation). Configure via env:
STRIPE_SECRET_KEY,STRIPE_PRICE_ID,STRIPE_WEBHOOK_SECRET,REDIS_URL- Create the Pro product/price once:
STRIPE_SECRET_KEY=sk_test_… node scripts/setup-stripe-product.js - Without Stripe env set,
/api/checkoutreturns503and the citation API still runs free-tier.
