Common questions

Is Thoth safe?

It passed 1 of 1 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 in the maker’s cloud. Connect over the internet with nothing to install, but what you send passes through the maker’s servers.

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (1.0.1) reached the registry 6 months ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. It connects by URL, so apps that accept remote MCP servers work too, such as ChatGPT in developer mode.

What can I use instead?

Thoth

Agentic systematic literature reviews — with every citation checked against the source.

*Named for Thoth, ancient Egypt's ibis-headed god of writing and scribes.*

The hosted app ran live in 2026 and is now retired. The screenshots and walkthroughs below are from it; you can still run it yourself.

What is Thoth?

Systematic literature reviews are slow to write — and when you ask an LLM to write one, it confidently invents citations and statistics that aren't in any paper.

Thoth does both halves and checks its own work. Give it a research question and it discovers relevant papers, reads them, drafts an evidence-grounded review — then runs a verification pass (cite_check) that compares every cited claim against the source paper and flags anything unsupported *before you read the draft*. The result is a review with a critic score, a citation-faithfulness percentage, and a per-claim audit you can trust.

It ran (hosted, in 2026) as a polished web app, a public eval dashboard, and an authenticated MCP server your AI assistant could call directly; it still runs on your own machine or host.

See it work

Claude.ai catches 6 fabricated citations in a real draft — using Thoth's audit:

Connected to Thoth via the official MCP Registry, Claude calls get_citation_audit on one deliberately-weak review (faithfulness 0.13 for that single review) and identifies all 6 unsupported claims — every one citing the same paper, with invented percentages that aren't in the source. This is cite_check doing its job: it's a single-review audit sample, not the golden-set aggregate (the /evals dashboard had that).

Every claim, scored against its source — the /showcase review (no login needed). The figures on this card (critic 4.2/5, faithfulness 75%, 8/8 citations checked, 2 unsupported) are this one review's scores — a worked example, not the aggregate:

Evaluated in public — the /evals dashboard tracked inclusion recall / precision, claim faithfulness and coverage over an 18-question versioned golden set (7 of 18 have data at the latest sweep's commit), regenerated in CI and published with the last-run date (last run 6 July 2026, before the hosted app was retired), so a regression was a public, falsifiable signal:

You approve every step — three human-in-the-loop gates (review plan → review discovered papers → approve included papers); nothing runs unattended:

Key features

🔎 `cite_check` — verifiable citations. Every [paper_id] in the draft is scored against the cited paper and labelled supported / unsupported / unclear, so the LLM can't quietly hallucinate a citation. The verdict report is published per claim, not summarised away (claim faithfulness on the golden set: 38%). This is the core differentiator: the citations are measured, not asserted. Paper selection is scored separately: the papers Thoth includes are compared with each golden question's expected paper list — inclusion precision 97%, recall 74%, averaged over the 9 golden questions that have an inclusion score. That measures which papers it picks, not whether its citations are correct, and precision is 1.0 by construction on goldens with no distractor papers (see known limitations).
🌐 Outbound web search (v2 — under active evaluation). An outbound discoverer → fetcher → screener path is wired across OpenAlex, arXiv, and Exa: it fetches open-access PDFs, OCRs them, and screens each against your plan, so you can run uploaded-only, hybrid, or fully autonomous discovery. The discovery and screening axes are v2 and still being calibrated — they're tracked openly on /evals (both at 0% at the last run) rather than shipped as a silent claim.
🔌 Authenticated, registered MCP server. OAuth 2.1 + PKCE + Dynamic Client Registration via Clerk, SHA-256 audit logging, rate limits — listed in the official MCP Registry. Most public MCP servers ship with no auth; this one doesn't.
📊 Public eval dashboard. Inclusion recall / precision, faithfulness and coverage over a versioned golden set, regenerated in CI and stamped with the last-run date, rendered at /evals — an eval regression was a *public* signal, not a hidden one. The weekly eval run is retired; the last run was 6 July 2026.
💸 6 LLM providers, $0/mo by default. Swap providers with one env var; the hosted app ran on the Mistral free tier, and the entire stack deploys on free tiers for $0/mo.

🚀 Quickstart

The hosted app ran live in 2026 and is retired, so run your own instance (below).

Connect it to your AI assistant — paste your deployment's MCP URL into claude.ai (Pro/Max), Claude Desktop, Cursor, or any MCP client (OAuth runs in your browser; no token to copy):

https://<your-host>/api/mcp/mcp

Read-only MCP tools (scoped to your account)

list_reviews — your reviews with critic + faithfulness scores
get_review_draft — the markdown draft of a completed review
get_citation_audit — the per-claim cite_check verdict report
list_discovered_papers *(v2)* — papers the discoverer surfaced, with fetch + screening status
get_search_queries *(v2)* — the queries the discoverer generated + per-provider errors

Full reference: docs/mcp/tools.md · auth + audit model: docs/mcp/security.md

Adding Thoth as a custom connector in claude.ai — OAuth runs in your browser (Clerk + DCR), no token to copy.

Run it locally:

git clone https://github.com/ahmedEid1/thoth.git && cd thoth

cp .env.example .env # Clerk + Trigger.dev keys + MISTRAL_API_KEY docker compose up -d # postgres, minio, langfuse pnpm install && pnpm prisma migrate dev pnpm dev # Next.js on :3000 pnpm dev:trigger # Trigger.dev worker (separate terminal)

Hosted app	Ran live in 2026 (Clerk sign-in, sample review at `/showcase`); retired on 1 Nov 2026
Public evals	`/evals` (last run 6 July 2026) — inclusion precision 97%, recall 74% (papers included vs. each question's expected list, averaged over the 9 golden questions with an inclusion score) on a versioned 18-question golden set (7 of 18 have data at the latest sweep's commit; faithfulness 38% / coverage 32% tracked in the open as the set fills out; discovery/screening v2 under calibration). Regenerated in CI, published with the last-run date — a regression is a public signal.
MCP Registry	`io.github.ahmedEid1/thoth` — listed; its remote endpoint was retired with the hosted app
Tests	676 unit/integration + 22 live e2e against the deployed instance (MCP transport, real-browser, authenticated walkthroughs, full agent runs) — all green; tsc + lint clean
Audit log	Every MCP call recorded with a SHA-256 input hash; no raw input stored
Deploy cost	$0/mo — Vercel + Neon + Cloudflare R2 + Langfuse + Trigger.dev, all free tiers (self-host option)

For engineers

Thoth is a LangGraph StateGraph driven by a Trigger.dev worker, with durable human-in-the-loop gates, a per-run cost cap, and exactly-once gate delivery. Next.js 16

TypeScript (strict), Postgres + Prisma, Clerk auth (web + OAuth 2.1 for MCP),

S3-compatible storage, Mistral OCR, Langfuse tracing.
