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/manusightsin 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.

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. Developer reference: https://manusights.com/developers/connector
