What its tools let an agent do: 1 read

Install Agentcite in Claude Code, Cursor or VS Code

Runs npx -y agentcite-mcp on your machine. Read the scan report first; the gateway never runs local packages.

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=&n=5&since=YYYY → { topic, count, works[], markdown, source }
  • each work: { title, authors[], firstauthor, year, doi, doiurl, citedbycount, venue, openalex_id }
  • 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)

GATED: needs .claude/secrets/stripe-test-{publishable,secret}-key saved by Kevin. LIVE go-live = Kevin places the live secret key in the deploy env; agents never hold it.

  1. ✅ Core /cite + /health (openAlex REST, no key, no binary — serverless-portable)
  2. ⏳ API-key + quota gate (Supabase: anon free tier rate-limited vs keyed Pro)
  3. ⏳ MCP server: get_citations(topic, n, since) (stdio + http) — the agent-native surface
  4. ⏳ Stripe billing (TEST mode first; hosted Checkout/Payment Link → webhook provisions quota).
  1. 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:

  • STRIPESECRETKEY, STRIPEPRICEID, STRIPEWEBHOOKSECRET, REDIS_URL
  • Create the Pro product/price once: STRIPESECRETKEY=sktest… node scripts/setup-stripe-product.js
  • Without Stripe env set, /api/checkout returns 503 and the citation API still runs free-tier.

Nothing above is checked by us. What we check is on the safety report.
