Scientific fraud detection as a live MCP server — screen any research topic, author, or paper for statistical fabrication, p-hacking, publication bias, citation manipulation, data duplication, causal contamination, and HARKing using 8 forensic tools backed by 16 real-time academic sources.
Platform-specific configuration:
{
"mcpServers": {
"scientific-fraud-detection-mcp": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",

Scientific fraud detection as a live MCP server — screen any research topic, author, or paper for statistical fabrication, p-hacking, publication bias, citation manipulation, data duplication, causal contamination, and HARKing using 8 forensic tools backed by 16 real-time academic sources. Built for research integrity officers, meta-analysts, AI coding assistants, and anyone who needs to audit the scientific literature without writing a single line of code.
Each tool call orchestrates parallel queries across OpenAlex, PubMed, Semantic Scholar, arXiv, Crossref, CORE, Europe PMC, ORCID, DBLP, NIH Grants, ClinicalTrials.gov, Wayback Machine, GitHub, USPTO Patents, and Hacker News — then applies 11 forensic algorithms from GRIM/SPRITE statistical auditing through Vevea-Hedges selection models, TERGM citation anomaly detection, Benford DCT forensics, do-calculus contamination tracing, and Bayesian surprise HARKing detection. All structured output is returned as JSON, ready to pipe directly into downstream analysis pipelines.
