Copy this message into a Claude chat. The AI checks your computer, tells you which file it will change, and waits for your OK every time.

Please install the MCP server Citesearch for Claude on this computer, in this order: 1) Check Node.js with node -v. If it is missing, tell me to install it from https://nodejs.org/en/download; do not install it yourself. 2) Use only this config (already checked by PopNx MCP): { "mcpServers": { "citesearch": { "command": "npx", "args": [ "-y", "@reneturcios/citesearch", "mcp" ] } } } 3) Tell me the full path of the file you will change, or the command you will run, and wait for my OK. 4) No key is needed. 5) Do what we agreed, then check that the Citesearch tools really show up.

This message has no key in it. If a key is needed, the AI will ask you to paste it yourself into the file or the app’s field.

Common questions

Is Citesearch safe?

It passed 3 of 3 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed 14 days ago, and the latest version (0.1.0) reached the registry 14 days ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Node.js, Docker on your computer.

What can I use instead?

Copied from the maker’s repo as written. PopNx MCP has not reviewed or endorsed it. HTML, images and scripts are removed. Links lead off this site.

citesearch

citesearch is a small client for Edgepedia, a standalone encyclopedia corpus of (per its own release notes) some 486,000 articles, each with its own id and credit line. It can search the corpus by subject, read an article or topic in full, list the articles related to one you already have, trace the chain of in-text links between two articles, and pin down which article an ambiguous name refers to when you give it a little surrounding context. One binary serves a command-line interface and a stdio MCP server.

There is no account and no API key. Under the hood, both faces forward each request to the hosted Edgepedia endpoint at https://www.edgechat.ai/mcp and print the text it returns. Articles carry a credit line; where the upstream text includes it, it is shown as returned — please keep it attached wherever you reuse the article text.

Install

npx @reneturcios/citesearch search koala

Or run the container image:

docker run -i ghcr.io/cloudcorprecords/citesearch

The container defaults to the MCP server (see below). Pass CLI arguments to use it as a CLI instead.

CLI

citesearch search Mount Fuji

citesearch fetch ep9kcz7eym citesearch fetch ep9kcz7eym --no-citations citesearch related ep9kcz7eym citesearch connect epStart epTarget citesearch resolve Jaguar --context "British car maker"

citesearch --version

Results print as plain text — a search returns matching articles with their ids, titles, links and summaries; a fetch returns one article as Markdown with its link, date, topic, license and credit line; a resolve answer names the article meant, its confidence and the alternatives. Exit codes: 0 on success, 1 when the upstream request fails, 2 for usage errors. Arguments are validated before any request is made.

Notes on fetch: with citations on (the default) an article's sources appear as inline links; --no-citations asks for [n] markers instead, which reads about a quarter shorter. The upstream documentation also mentions fetching several ids at once, a single section, a token budget, or only matching passages — but it does not publish parameter names for those controls, so this client does not invent any: fetch takes exactly one id and the citations switch.

MCP server

One bin serves both faces. The mcp subcommand starts a stdio MCP server:

npx -y @reneturcios/citesearch mcp

MCP client configuration:

"mcpServers": { "citesearch": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@reneturcios/citesearch", "mcp"] } } }

Tools

All five tools are read-only and key-free.

Tool	Input	What it returns
`search`	`query` (string) — a subject's name, not a question	Matching articles: id, title, link and summary (or the article opening when there is no summary). Other names and misspellings work, and topic phrases return the topic.
`fetch`	`id` (string); `citations` (boolean, optional)	One article as Markdown, with its link, date, topic, license and credit line. A topic's id lists its articles. `citations: false` swaps inline source links for `[n]` markers.
`related`	`id` (string)	Articles related to it: its topic-mates, a few from each neighbouring topic, and its geography neighbours.
`connect`	`from` (string), `to` (string)	The shortest chain of in-text links from one article to the other (at most 6 hops), with the sentence that makes each hop.
`resolve`	`name` (string); `context` (string, optional)	Which article the name means, with a confidence and the alternatives. For example, "Jaguar" beside "British car maker" is the car company; beside "big cat" it is the animal.

Development

npm install

npm run build # tsc -> dist/ npm test # node test runner over test/*.test.ts, no network (fake fetch only) npm run dev # run the CLI from source via tsx
