Anti-BS

A Model Context Protocol server for analyzing claims, validating sources, and detecting manipulation using multiple epistemological frameworks.

Features

The server provides three main tools for detecting and analyzing bullshit:

1. analyze_claim

Analyzes claims using multiple epistemological frameworks:

• Empirical Framework

  • Focuses on verifiable evidence
  • Evaluates reproducible results
  • Cross-references academic and scientific sources
  • Assesses methodological rigor

• Responsible Framework

  • Evaluates ethical implications
  • Assesses community impact
  • Considers traditional knowledge
  • Validates source credibility

• Harmonic Framework

  • Assesses coherence with established knowledge
  • Integrates multiple perspectives
  • Considers contextual appropriateness
  • Evaluates systemic implications

• Pluralistic Framework

  • Combines all other frameworks
  • Considers multiple ways of knowing
  • Evaluates contextual appropriateness
  • Assesses practical outcomes
  • Checks alignment with community values

2. validate_sources

• Extracts and analyzes cited sources
• Validates credibility and authority
• Cross-references across multiple platforms
• Evaluates methodological soundness
• Checks for conflicts of interest

3. check_manipulation

Detects manipulation tactics including:

• Emotional manipulation
• Social pressure
• False authority
• Artificial scarcity
• Urgency creation

Installation

Prerequisites

• Node.js >= 18.0.0
• npm or yarn

Setup

1. Install dependencies:

npm install

2. Build the server:

npm run build

3. Add to Claude Desktop (MacOS):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "anti-bullshit": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/path/to/anti-bullshit-mcp-server/build/index.js"]
    }
  }
}

Path: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

Or for VSCode extension: Path: ~/Library/Application Support/Code/User/globalStorage/saoudrizwan.claude-dev/settings/cline_mcp_settings.json

Usage Examples

// Analyze a claim
const result = await analyze_claim({
  text: "Studies show that 87% of experts agree with this controversial claim",
  framework: "empirical"
});

// Validate sources
const validation = await validate_sources({
  text: "According to Dr. Smith's groundbreaking research...",
  framework: "responsible"
});

// Check for manipulation
const check = await check_manipulation({
  text: "Act now! This exclusive offer expires in the next 10 minutes!"
});

Development

For development with auto-rebuild:

npm run watch

Debug with MCP Inspector:

npm run inspector

Testing Timeline

The server uses 2025-01-01 as the reference date for temporal analysis of claims (particularly relevant for Goodman's "grue" paradox and similar philosophical puzzles).
