Search the entire web or narrow it down to just the sites you trust; medical journals, court databases, news outlets, academic papers. Analyze the full source, not just snippets. Links that work, citations you can trust, no made up closed garden pre-synthesized results. Your AI links to papers that don't exist, invents DOIs, and presents SEO spam with the same confidence as peer-reviewed research. It can't even tell a blog post from a court filing. This MCP solves it.

Hey PH! I built web-researcher-mcp after watching AI assistants confidently cite papers that don't exist — or worse, cite real papers that were retracted years ago.
The problem: most AI research tools just search and summarize. None of them check whether what they found is actually true.
So I built the verification layer: citation verification against live DOI records, retraction detection via Crossref Retraction Watch, dead-link archiving via Wayback Machine, and full bibliography audit (BibTeX/RIS/CSL-JSON). Plus 35+ search tools — web, academic, patent, legal, financial data.
It's a single Go binary, zero config, works with Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client. MIT licensed.
Would love to hear how researchers and developers are using it — and what verification gaps you're still hitting!

Quality search is still a real problem with all the various AI assistants out there. This MCP has been in live real use by many people across different roles (legal, finance, academic, developers, product management, and every day use) for few months now, and I’ve been building and extending it per real world use-cases and needs. Feel free to try and share 🙏
