Signed citation-integrity reports + retraction-checked evidence packs, paid per call via x402/USDC.
What our measurements say
Academic Evidence Pack is a remote MCP server published at aep-api.fly.dev. It has been probed 7 times since 9/12/2026. It answered in 7 of them (100.0%), a near-uninterrupted record. Median response time is 305 ms, placing it among the faster endpoints. It offers a narrow, focused set of 6 tools. On the protocol side it still runs 2025-11-25 and has not moved to the newer spec.

Agent readability score
Strengths
- Some tools (e.g., 'evidence_pack_preview' vs. 'evidence_pack') distinguish between free and paid versions.
- Parameters like 'query' and 'request_id' are clearly defined with required/optional status.
Weaknesses
- Tool names like 'citation_report', 'citation_report_large', and 'citation_report_receipt' are too similar, causing potential confusion.
- Descriptions for 'evidence_pack_preview' and 'evidence_pack' are nearly identical, lacking clear differentiation.
- Parameters like 'fields' and 'options' lack detailed explanations of acceptable values or structure.
evidence_pack_preview— Description overlaps with 'evidence_pack', making purpose differentiation unclear.citation_report— Same description as 'citation_report_large' and 'citation_report_receipt', causing ambiguity.fields— Parameter type is 'array' but no examples or allowed values are specified.

Tools the server advertised in the latest measurement — measured, not catalog-claimed.
evidence_pack_previewFree preview. Find 3-10 scholarly candidates for a question or topic. Returns DOI/OpenAlex IDs, authors, year, venue, source URLs, citation context, open-access location, and known retraction/correction warnings. JSON only. Does not claim that a paper proves a statement. Returns at most 3 papers; no payment.

citation_report_previewFree preview. Verify a bibliography. For every reference: exists, resolves, retracted/corrected/flagged, title/author/year match against the registered record, and a rule-derived fabrication risk — as a signed (Ed25519, RFC 8785 canonical JSON), byte-reproducible JSON report. Input: structured references or BibTeX. No LLM; every claim carries its source and retrieval time. Checks only the first 3 references; unsigned; no payment.

citation_report_receiptRe-fetch a paid report you already bought, by its request_id, within the cache TTL. Free; no payment; the same signed report (request_id re-attached, unsigned, as on the paid result). Over the hosted endpoint GET /v1/citation-report/receipts/<request_id> serves the same bytes; over a local stdio run only that process can. Not found after the TTL, for previews, or for reports served by another process.

Returns DOI/OpenAlex IDs, authors, year, venue, source URLs, citation context, open-access location, and known retraction/correction warnings. JSON only. Does not claim that a paper proves a statement. Paid: $0.03 USDC per successful call via x402 (eip155:8453). An unpaid call returns the payment requirements (isError). Results carry settled / transaction / network / payer.
