Overview

Description from the maker (original English)

Checks an answer's citations at the registries that issue them. Every check files a signed report.

PopNx MCP’s three pillars

These three are never merged into one score: opinions, measurements and popularity are different things.

Before you install

  • Basic checks: 3 of 3 passed
  • Runs on the maker’s server: what you ask it goes through their server.
  • The registry lists no key to fill in.

What it can do

Common questions

Is Metis Check 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 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 (1.0.0) 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. It connects by URL, so apps that accept remote MCP servers work too, such as ChatGPT in developer mode.

What can I use instead?

Metis Check

The check every cited AI answer needs before you rely on it. A citation that looks complete and points to nothing costs a correction, a retraction or a sanction. Metis Check asks the registries that issue each identifier whether it exists and what it says. DOI, PubMed, arXiv, ORCID, ROR, ISBN, LEI, ISIN, CUSIP, SEC CIK, EIN, NPI, UK company numbers, domains and more. Each identifier comes back in exactly one of four states: settled true, settled false, not decidable (a person decides) or unreachable (a delay, not evidence). Every check ends in a signed report with its own id, a PDF and a recheck button anyone can press.

By Metis Foundry. One account covers ChatGPT, Codex, Claude, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. Every account starts with 5 checks a month; plans.

*A real report: three identifiers settled true, one settled false. Open it and press Recheck.*

Try it in one click

The prompt asks Metis Check to check four references, one of them invented. The invented one comes back settled false, with the registry that said so.

What you get

  • Four states, nothing hidden: settled true, settled false, not decidable, unreachable, and a not-checked list with the reason for each.
  • A report that rechecks without Metis: every line carries the registry query and the SHA-256 of the registry's answer; signed JSON and a PDF.
  • Shareable: anyone with the link can open the report and press Recheck; the registries are asked again, live.
  • Private: passages are never stored, only the identifiers, their positions and a hash. Metis never asks for conversation history.
  • Honest scope: Metis Check establishes that an identifier is registered and what the registry says. It does not decide whether a paper supports a claim.

Plans

Free: 5 checks a month. Pro: $29 a month (or $276 a year), 2,000 checks, case law included. Team: $249 a month (or $2,388 a year), 15,000 checks, 5 seats. Checks that cannot be settled cost nothing. Details: https://check-api.metisfoundry.com/check/plans
