Connect with MCP

Connect an AI assistant to saved Citation documents and sources through MCP. Choose a client, authorize your workspace, and control reading, editing, and exports.

Connect your workspaceLink to Connect your workspace

For a direct MCP connection, add the server address to a compatible client, sign in to Citation, and choose your workspace. Review the requested permissions. Start with reading access and enable writing or exporting only for tasks that need it.

MCP server address

https://citation.co/mcp

Use the exact address in MCP connections. The sections below identify each product's connection method. Plugins can include an MCP connection; hosted bots and models used inside Citation follow their own setup steps. Installing one method does not connect every other product.

Clients without OAuth can use a scoped bearer token from MCP connections. Send it in the Authorization header and keep it out of shared configuration files.

Citation is listed in the official MCP Registry as io.github.Reload-Apps/citation. Use the registry or server manifest to find the endpoint, then authorize Citation in your client. A registry listing does not install a connection or grant workspace access.

Choose your clientLink to Choose your client

ChatGPT, Claude, Codex, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, and other listed products have their setup above. The additional clients below use their own configuration locations. Match the instructions to your installed version and complete authorization when supported.

OpenAI Dots

Dots use cloud app access. A local Codex MCP connection does not configure a cloud dot. Use the app connection controls available for your dot and account.

Use the official app access guide below for your dot. The CLI configuration examples on this page apply only to the listed local clients.

Windsurf

Use the MCP controls provided by your installed Windsurf or Devin Desktop version. Check its configuration location before adding a server.

Cascade → Actions → Open MCP config file

Windsurf configuration

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "citation": {
      "serverUrl": "https://citation.co/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Gemini CLI

Use httpUrl for Streamable HTTP and approve the OAuth request with /mcp auth.

What you can doLink to What you can do

  • Find and read documents in the workspace you connected.
  • Create drafts and save reviewed edits with version checks.
  • Add or correct saved source metadata and format citations using the supported styles.
  • Check missing citation links, incomplete source details and duplicate DOIs.
  • Export saved text and references as TXT, BibTeX or RIS.

Citation checks review the metadata you saved. They do not establish originality or factual accuracy. MCP does not expose invitations, sharing, deletion, AI review or public web fetching.

Keep changes under your controlLink to Keep changes under your control

Read the latest document with include_content before editing so formatting and citation nodes can be preserved. Save using its returned version. For source updates, use the source version. If a version conflicts, read and review again. After an uncertain response, retry with the same request ID and exact input to avoid a duplicate change.

Revoke a connection in settings to stop its access and refresh tokens. Access also ends when your workspace membership is removed. Source content and document text should always be treated as reference material, never instructions for your assistant.

Local and cloud connectionsLink to Local and cloud connections

Citation uses Streamable HTTP. Cloud clients require a reachable HTTPS address. A localhost address works only for a client on that computer. For a self hosted deployment, the operator must configure the MCP address and apply the required database migrations before connecting.

For desktop browser clients, an operator may need to allow the client’s exact browser origin. If your client cannot connect, check the address, authentication, granted scopes and deployment configuration before changing permissions.
