ReviewMetric MCP Server

Know what reviewers will say before you submit — from inside Claude.
Then fix the text in one go, and see where your work sits on the map of science.

---

ReviewMetric is a pre-submission review service for researchers. This MCP server lets Claude send a local .docx manuscript to ReviewMetric's panel of specialist AI referees, bring the report back into your chat, prepare the text fixes Claude can apply to your file, and explore the ReviewMetric Atlas: landmark discoveries, their Nobel Prizes and the frontiers research groups are pushing now.

What the panel checks

Referee	What it looks at
Novelty & positioning	Your claims against the closest published, peer-reviewed work (retrieved from OpenAlex and ReviewMetric's vetted library), plus related papers you may have missed
Claims & evidence	Whether each main claim is supported by your results; numbers that disagree between abstract, results and tables
Methods & reproducibility	Design, controls, statistics, and a field-appropriate reproducibility checklist
Citation integrity	Whether cited papers support the sentences they are attached to; retracted, uncited or missing references
Figures	Captions, legibility, units, and agreement with the text
Clarity	Title, abstract, structure, language, terminology
Handling editor	Readiness recommendation, prioritised revisions and a referee-style report

Every issue points to a location in your manuscript. Scores come from fixed rubrics, not from a single AI guess.

Installation (Claude Desktop)

1. Create an API key at https://www.reviewmetric.it.com/developers
2. Add this to claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "review-metric": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["reviewmetric-mcp"],
      "env": { "REVIEWMETRIC_API_KEY": "rvk_live_..." }
    }
  }
}

3. Ask Claude: "Review my manuscript at /Users/me/papers/draft.docx with ReviewMetric."

Commands

Ask "What can ReviewMetric do?" (the help_me command) for the full list inside Claude.

Command	What it does	Cost
help_me	Everything ReviewMetric can do in Claude, with examples	Free
submit_manuscript(file_path)	Sends the .docx to the referees; returns a Run ID	1 RM token
check_analysis_status(run_id)	Progress; when done, the report, its place on the Atlas and the text fixes available	Free
get_report_json(run_id)	The complete report as JSON	Free
list_my_reviews(limit)	Your reviews with scores and Run IDs	Free
get_text_fixes(run_id)	Preview of the fixes that need no new experiment; the exact edits once prepared	Free
prepare_text_fixes(run_id)	Prepares the edits, which Claude can then apply to your manuscript	1 RM token
search_atlas(query, field, limit)	Finds discoveries and frontiers on the Atlas	Free
list_frontiers()	The frontiers, what they build on, who is pushing them	Free
place_on_atlas(run_id)	Where your manuscript sits, the landmarks it cites, the frontier ahead	Free
atlas_whats_new()	This week's additions to the Atlas	Free
trace_path(from, to)	The chain of discoveries linking two stars	Free
unlock_atlas_sources(confirm)	The paper and research group behind every star, for 30 days	1 RM token
account_status()	RM tokens left, Atlas access, prices	Free

Spending tokens. RM tokens are ReviewMetric's one currency (1 for $9, 3 for $25, 10 for $70; your first is free). Claude never unlocks the Atlas sources on its own: it tells you the cost and waits for your explicit yes in the chat.

A review usually takes about 5 minutes. If the file cannot be reviewed (unreadable, too short, not a manuscript), the RM token is returned automatically.

Try asking

• "Review my manuscript at ~/papers/draft.docx and tell me what to fix first."
• "Prepare the text fixes of my last review and apply them to the draft."
• "Where does my manuscript sit on the Atlas, and which frontier is ahead of it?"
• "Who is pushing room-temperature superconductivity right now?"
• "Trace the path from the double helix to AlphaFold."

Data

Manuscripts are processed by ReviewMetric's API and the AI providers it uses under their paid API terms (no training on your data). See the ReviewMetric website for the current data-retention policy.
