peopleworks/SignsofAI #⃣ - Explainable AI-writing detection and originality checking for teachers, students and writers, in English and Spanish. analyzeaiwriting returns a 0–100 score and every tell behind it — overused vocabulary, rhetorical crutches, syntactic patterns and sentence-rhythm burstiness — each with the matched text and a concrete fix, instead of a black-box percentage. checkoriginality returns the shared passages between documents as evidence; checkcitations cross-checks a bibliography against the text offline; comparetobaseline runs Burrows's Delta against the same writer's earlier work; inspectcharacters finds hidden and lookalike characters; writereport exports the evidence as a do…
anzy-renlab-ai/pronounce Community pronunciation dictionary for developer project / product / jargon names (kubectl, nginx, GIF, JSON, Pydantic, Knative, LaTeX — 1,848 entries). Each entry carries IPA, a General-American respelling, alternate readings where the pronunciation is contested, a source citation (creator interview / project FAQ / Wikipedia § Pronunciation), and a confidence level. Tools: pronounce(word), searchpronunciations(query), listpronunciations(category). Install: uvx pronounce-mcp. Live browse: <https://pronounce.renlab.ai>.
notDIRK/fds-mcp Freedom-of-information requests for Germany via FragDenStaat.de, the FOI portal built on froide. Finds the responsible authority from a place name and returns the evidence trail, reads the applicable act and its statutory deadline, tracks your own requests and their replies, and drafts new requests as local YAML checked against 25 rules before anything is sent. Four tools need no account. Submitting is guarded by five independent gates and defaults to a dry run, because the API sends immediately and cannot be undone.
laszlopere/mcp-molecules Chemistry toolbox computed from authoritative data: molecular weight / molar mass of any formula (nested groups, isotope labels, propagated NIST uncertainties, percent composition), isotope-distribution mass spectra (m/z peaks for a given charge), and name⇆formula lookup with isomer resolution. Element masses from the NIST Atomic Weights and Isotopic Compositions database; offline and deterministic, with an optional on-by-default online fallback (PubChem/Wikidata/EPA CompTox) that can be disabled. uvx mcp-molecules.
wedo911/citeguard Check a citation against Crossref for retraction, correction, or expression-of-concern status before it goes into a paper, summary, or review — catches papers like Wakefield's retracted MMR-autism study, still cited 1,000+ times since its 2010 retraction. No API key required. Detection logic (checked against real Crossref data, not just documentation) is shared identically between a Python CLI/library, this MCP server, and a GitHub Action for CI. npx -y citeguard-mcp-server

oscardvs/zoteus Zotero MCP server in TypeScript: hybrid keyword and semantic search, PDF passages with page locators, bibliographies in any CSL style (citeproc-js), add by DOI, group libraries, and writes (items, tags, collections, attachments, PDF annotations anchored to the quoted passage).
