Bibverify
If you're juggling BibTeX files for research papers, this server gives Claude four tools to validate and fix your references. It can convert DOIs to BibTeX entries via doi_to_bibtex, explain which academic database to query first with rank_lookup_sources (Crossref for DOI lookups, PubMed for medical literature, arXiv for preprints), compare field differences between your existing entries and what it finds with explain_update_diff, and run full file validation through verify_bib_file. The underlying engine checks against Crossref, OpenAlex, Semantic Scholar, PubMed, DBLP, and others, prioritizing DOI based exact matches before falling back to title searches. It won't overwrite your original files but instead generates timestamped backup, updated, and problematic entry files so you can review changes before committing them.
