Common questions
Is CiteVahti 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 21 days ago, and the latest version (0.46.0) reached the registry 3 months ago.
Which apps can use it?
Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Python (uv) on your computer.

CiteVahti
Does the cited paper actually support the claim? Check every citation in your manuscript — before a reviewer does.
CiteVahti walks you through your manuscript one claim at a time. You decide whether each cited source really backs the sentence; an optional AI gives a *blinded* second opinion (you rate first, it can never overrule you); and every decision is saved as a timestamped, tamper-evident record on your own computer.
Free while in beta. CiteVahti is local-first: your manuscript stays on your device
unless *you* choose to turn on an external AI model. No account. Nothing uploaded.
What beta means here: the review workflow and your data format are stable, but the
tool is young and your feedback still shapes it. The app does not update itself yet —
when a new version ships you replace it yourself (steps under *Updating*, below; the
panel can check for a newer version, but only if you turn that on). If something is
confusing or judged wrong, say so — beta reports are how it improves.
Who it's for
Researchers, clinicians, and students who write papers and want to be sure every citation holds up — without learning new software or touching a command line. If you can open a file on your computer, you can use CiteVahti.
What it does for you
- Catches citations that don't support the sentence they're attached to — the kind a reviewer or editor will flag.
- Keeps you in charge. You make every call; the AI is only ever a second opinion, shown *after* you've decided.
- Leaves a clean paper trail — a timestamped record of what you checked and concluded, ready for a supervisor, co-author, journal, or registry.
- Builds a reusable evidence map so you don't re-do the same checks next project.
- Stays private by default — everything lives in a folder on your Mac or PC.
Get started in 2 minutes — no terminal, ever
On a Mac, use the desktop app. It's a normal app: download it, open it, review.
- Download `citevahti- -macos-arm64.app.zip` from the latest release.
- Unzip it and drag `CiteVahti.app` into your Applications folder, then open it like any other app. *(It's signed and notarized — it opens with no security warnings.)*
- Choose a folder to keep your reviews in when it asks.
- Drag your manuscript (
.docxor.md) onto the window. The panel walks you through the rest, one step at a time — there's nothing to memorise.
Want an AI assistant to help pre-screen citations? Whenever you're ready, click the CiteVahti menu-bar icon → Start Agent Server. CiteVahti first explains exactly what an assistant can and cannot do — and either way, you rate every claim yourself and make every final call.
Or: use it inside Claude Desktop
If you already work in Claude, install CiteVahti as a one-click extension and drive the review by chatting. *(This is also the path on Windows and Linux, where the desktop app isn't available yet.)*
- Download the extension for your computer from the latest release:
- macOS (Apple Silicon) —
citevahti- -macos-arm64.mcpb*(signed + notarized)* - Windows —
citevahti- -windows-x64.mcpb - Linux —
citevahti- -linux-x64.mcpb
- Double-click the downloaded file to add it to Claude Desktop.
- Choose a folder for your reviews when asked.
- Tell your assistant: *"Check the claims in my manuscript using CiteVahti."*
First time on macOS you may see a one-time security prompt — the extension is a zip,
which macOS can't pre-stamp even though the app inside is signed and notarized. If it
appears: right-click the file → Open, or go to **System Settings → Privacy & Security →
"Open Anyway"**. After that it installs and runs normally.
First time on Windows you may see a SmartScreen warning ("Windows protected your PC")
— the Windows build is unsigned, so Windows can't check who published it. If it appears:
click More info, then Run anyway. After that it installs and runs normally.
Updating — your review data is never touched; only the program is replaced
- Desktop app: quit
CiteVahti.app, download the newestcitevahti- -macos-arm64.app.zipfrom the latest release, and replace the oldCiteVahti.appin Applications with it. Your reviews live in the project folder you chose, not inside the app, so nothing is lost. - Claude Desktop extension: remove the existing CiteVahti extension, fully quit and reopen Claude Desktop, then add the newest
.mcpbfrom the latest release. Ask your assistant to run the `status` tool to confirm the running version. *(macOS Intel: install viapip install "citevahti[mcp]", or run the Apple-Silicon.mcpbunder Rosetta.)* - pip:
pip install --no-cache-dir --upgrade "citevahti[mcp]", thenpip show citevahtito confirm the version.
For developers & technical readers — pip, CLI, architecture, security
Everything below assumes a terminal; none of it is needed to use the app.
Try it on synthetic data (nothing of yours touched — builds an invented ledger and opens the panel showing every claim state):
pip install "citevahti[mcp]"citevahti demo
Run the review panel from the terminal:
pip install "citevahti[mcp]"citevahti run
CiteVahti opens the review panel on your machine at 127.0.0.1 and tells you the one next thing to do.
Run the desktop app from source (the same supervised shell as the packaged .app):
pip install "citevahti[app]"citevahti-app
What the app actually runs: CiteVahti.app is a thin shell supervising two local processes — the review panel engine (for you) and an optional MCP agent server (for a chat client; it can suggest and stage, but it can never rate for you, see your rating first, or make the final call). Both bind only to 127.0.0.1, write rotating logs (menu-bar icon → *Open Logs Folder*), exit on their own if the app dies, and shut down cleanly when you quit. The agent server is off until you enable it and can be stopped anytime from the menu bar.

How it works
CiteVahti always tells you the one next thing to do — there's no command to remember and nothing to set up.
You start by adding your manuscript — choose a Word or Markdown file, drag it onto the window, or paste the text. Nothing is uploaded.
Then you work through each claim on a simple card that walks a visible Rate → Reveal → Decide → Write path, so you always know where you are:
- Rate — you judge whether the cited paper supports the claim.
- Reveal — *now* the optional AI second opinion appears (never before).
- Decide — accept, caution, review, or reject. The decision is yours.
- Write — optionally update your manuscript or Zotero, always after a preview.
A record you can hand to anyone
Every decision is saved to a timestamped, tamper-evident review record — a plain-language log of what you reviewed and in what order. Export it as a Word document, a print-ready report, or a review-packet .zip (which even includes an auto-filled methods paragraph with your review's real numbers) for a methods section, a co-author, a supervisor, or a journal.
Build an evidence map you can reuse
Stop losing evidence work after each project. Most citation checks vanish after one manuscript or one deadline. Every claim you assess in CiteVahti is saved to your own private evidence map, so next time you work on the same topic you don't start from zero — pull back earlier judgments, see what you already checked, and spot where the literature is thin, contradictory, or overclaimed.
It stays on your machine. Sharing into the wider, de-identified community evidence map is a separate, opt-in step, and you preview the exact payload before anything is sent — never your manuscript, search history, patient data, registry data, or private project identifiers.
The AI is a second opinion — never the judge
You always rate first. CiteVahti can then show a second rating from an AI, and compare the two — but the AI value stays hidden until your rating is in, and the final decision is always yours. There's no hidden AI subscription: pick the mode you want, or leave AI off entirely.
You can get the second opinion from:
- your MCP assistant (e.g. Claude Desktop),
- a local model on your own computer (free, fully private — see below), or
- your own OpenAI/Anthropic-compatible API key.
Run the AI on your own machine (free, nothing leaves your device)
- Install Ollama (macOS:
brew install ollama). - Pull a model —
qwen2.5is recommended for claim checking:
ollama pull qwen2.5(Pick a smaller tag if your machine is tight on memory, e.g. ollama pull qwen2.5:3b.)
- In the panel, open Settings → AI second opinion → Local AI. CiteVahti detects the installed model and pins its exact version so the rating stays auditable.
To update later, re-pull the same name (ollama pull qwen2.5).
