Common questions

Is Manusights 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 (1.1.0) reached the registry 15 days 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?

Manusights MCP server

Manusights checks a manuscript before submission. This remote MCP server lets an AI assistant check references for retractions and DOI mismatches, look up a journal's recorded AI-use rules, and start a pre-submission preview of a manuscript.

Server URL: https://manusights.com/mcp (streamable HTTP)
Registry name: com.manusights/manusights in the official MCP Registry
Sign-in: OAuth with dynamic client registration. Reference checks and journal lookups work without an account; the review tools ask you to sign in the first time you use them.

This repository holds the server's public description and setup notes, packaged as an Agent Plugins plugin: plugin.json (manifest), mcp.json and .mcp.json (the remote server), and one skill, skills/check-before-submission/SKILL.md, that tells an assistant how to use the tools and report their results. The server itself runs at manusights.com; there is no code to install.

Tools

Tool	What it does	Account
`check_references`	Checks references against Crossref, the DOI registry and Retraction Watch. References without a DOI are also searched in Semantic Scholar, PubMed, arXiv, Open Library and CRAN. Reports retractions, corrections, expressions of concern, DOI mismatches and references with no matching record.	Optional
`get_journal_ai_policy`	Returns a journal's recorded AI-use and disclosure rules with the official policy link and the date they were checked.	Optional
`review_manuscript_text`	Starts a preview from the complete manuscript text: a readiness score, a verdict and the main risks a reviewer may raise. Figures are not reviewed from text.	Required
`review_manuscript`	Starts a preview from an attached file, in clients that can pass the file's download URL (ChatGPT).	Required
`get_manuscript_review`	Reads a preview or review on your account.	Required
`list_manuscript_reviews`	Lists your account's 20 most recent reviews.	Required

Matching a record shows that a reference exists, not that it supports the claim it is cited for. A reference with no matching record may be a typo or a gap in the registries, not an invented paper.

Set up

Claude (claude.ai, desktop and mobile): open Customize, then Connectors, choose Add custom connector, name it Manusights and enter https://manusights.com/mcp. Guide: https://manusights.com/claude

ChatGPT: install Manusights from the ChatGPT app directory. Guide: https://manusights.com/chatgpt

Claude Code:

claude mcp add --transport http manusights https://manusights.com/mcp

Then run /mcp, choose manusights and authenticate when you need a preview.

Codex:

codex mcp add manusights --url https://manusights.com/mcp

codex mcp login manusights

Cursor: add to .cursor/mcp.json in a project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json for every project:

{ "mcpServers": { "manusights": { "url": "https://manusights.com/mcp" } } }

VS Code: add to .vscode/mcp.json:

{ "servers": { "manusights": { "type": "http", "url": "https://manusights.com/mcp" } } }

Ask for Manusights by name, for example: "Use Manusights to check these references before I submit."

Data

A reference check sends only the references to Manusights. A preview sends the manuscript text or file you share and saves the preview to your Manusights account. Manusights does not write or rewrite manuscripts. Privacy policy: https://manusights.com/privacy. Terms: https://manusights.com/terms.
