What the publisher says
From the AEGIS Academic Integrity Checker repository's README, as published. We do not edit it. Read it on GitHub
AEGIS Academic Integrity Checker
<!-- mcp-name: io.github.sunilgentyala/aegis-integrity -->
Real CLI output on a synthetic sample paper (docs/demo/sample_paper.txt). Both DOIs in it are invented, and AEGIS flags them.
Open-source, offline, bias-aware academic integrity analysis.
Documents are processed entirely on your own hardware and never uploaded anywhere. Citation checks may query Crossref/OpenAlex with reference metadata (titles, authors, DOIs) when online verification is enabled.
Analyzes plagiarism, AI-generated content, citation hallucinations, ghostwriting, predatory references, and essay mill patterns in a single pipeline -- plus an experimental token-distribution heuristic for LLM watermark research.
Plagiarism detection is corpus-based, not a live web/database crawl: AEGIS compares your document against a corpus of papers you supply (your own prior works, a downloaded reference set, etc. -- see Building a Corpus Index). With no corpus loaded, plagiarism modules correctly report "no prior works loaded" rather than silently finding nothing to flag -- that isn't a scan failure.
Results are a supporting signal for human review, not a determination of misconduct.
Get Started
Pick the way you want to use AEGIS. All three run on your own computer.
1. In your browser (easiest). Install once, then open the web app:
pip install "aegis-integrity[ml]"
aegis uiDrag in a PDF, Word, LaTeX or text file, choose Full check, Private / offline, References only or Style & formatting, and get a plain-language report: an overall rating, what to look at, every reference with its verification result, and a downloadable full report. A Compare two papers tab and a My comparison library tab cover self-plagiarism and building the corpus. On Windows, install.bat sets everything up and start-aegis.bat opens the web app with a double-click.
2. Inside Claude Code. Install the package with the mcp extra, then add the plugin:
pip install "aegis-integrity[mcp,ml]"/plugin marketplace add sunilgentyala/aegis-integrity
/plugin install aegis-integrity@aegis-integrityThen ask in plain words ("check references in ~/drafts/paper.pdf", "is this ready for an Elsevier journal?"), or use the /integrity-check and /submission-check skills.
Shortened. The full README is on GitHub.
Nothing above is checked by us. What we check is on the safety report.
