No install snippet on purpose. A working MCP config is a command, its arguments and an environment block — the last two are where API keys live, so this catalogue never stores them and cannot publish them. Follow the link above for the authors' own instructions.
Check every reference of a LaTeX paper against real scholarly records before you submit.
No LLM guessing, no false accusations.

Language models invent references, and copy-pasted BibTeX carries wrong years, wrong authors
and dead DOIs. paper-preflight reads your .tex and .bib files and asks Crossref, dblp,
arXiv, DataCite, PubMed and OpenAlex (and Semantic Scholar, if you have a key) about every cited
work:
- Does it exist?
- Does it match what you wrote?
- Has it been retracted?
- Has the preprint you cite been published since?
When it cannot tell, it says so instead of guessing.
Status: v0.4, an early release. False positives are the bugs we most want to hear about: please open an issue.
The repository's demo paper cites eleven works, several of them wrong on purpose. A real run, against the live sources:
