Verify every claim inside Claude Desktop

The `validate_journalistic_reasoning` tool forces your AI to pull receipts for every assertion it makes. It checks for independent corroboration from at least two sources before letting you hit publish. Stop guessing if your citations are real. This MCP Server flags nonexistent studies or misattributed quotes immediately, saving you from embarrassing corrections later.

Detect bias with Journalistic Reasoning Prover

False balance is a trap. This tool scans your drafts for artificial equivalence, ensuring that your narrative reflects genuine perspective diversity rather than manufactured conflict. Use it to audit your output against the SPJ Code of Ethics. It provides a clear pass or fail verdict so you know exactly when your logic holds up under scrutiny.

Audit attribution chains in real time

Every quote and statistic needs a paper trail. The `validate_journalistic_reasoning` tool forces the AI to disclose the who, when, and where for every piece of data you include. If the AI can't prove the origin of a figure, the tool rejects it. You get a clean, defensible draft that’s ready for the editor’s desk without further searching.
