## Tools

10 declared. Observed from a live `tools/list` probe.
- `list_measurements` — Use when a claim about browser tools, capture quality, OCR recall or citation extraction needs a number behind it — or when you want to check one of ours. Every
- `get_measurement_data` — Use before quoting a figure: this returns what stands behind it — the values, the control run, and the conditions that limit them. Cite the dataset rather than 
- `get_method` — Fetch a reproducible method: reading a browser extension's permissions, measuring OCR recall with a control run, or choosing between print-to-PDF and screen cap
- `extract_citation` — Read the citation details a web page declares about itself and return them as a structured record plus ready-to-import RIS and BibTeX. Covers journal articles, 
- `extract_citations` — Use when you have a reading list rather than one source — a bibliography to build, a set of links to verify before submitting, an archive to describe. Measured 
- `recommend_settings` — The capture settings that fit a given purpose, each with the measurement behind it or an explicit note that none exists. Pass purpose as citation, figure, archi
- `how_to_capture` — Get the runnable route for saving a web page that this endpoint cannot read — the sources it hands back. Returns install links for Firefox and Chromium browsers
- `install_extension` — Install or uninstall the capture extension in Firefox or Chrome without a window, without a click and without administrator rights. Returns one runnable script 
- `adoption_stats` — How much this endpoint and its install route are actually used, with the figures behind it: requests to /mcp, which discovery paths get read, the store version 
- `open_work` — List what this project needs done, with enough context to start. Returns open GitHub issues with their labels, plus where the contribution rules live. Call this

## Install

**Verdict: review** — Installable, but 2 things to check first: No CVE coverage: this entry has no npm/PyPI coordinates to query OSV against, so "no known vulnerabilities" is not a claim that can be made about it.
**Cautions** (coverage gaps and advisories — never blocking)
- No CVE coverage: this entry has no npm/PyPI coordinates to query OSV against, so "no known vulnerabilities" is not a claim that can be made about it.
- No publisher has proved control of this listing; it is indexed, not vouched for.
**Config** (claude-code):
```json
"{\n  \"mcpServers\": {\n    \"browser-citation-capture\": {\n      \"type\": \"http\",\n      \"url\": \"https://provinglab.dev/mcp\"\n    }\n  }\n}"
```

## Blast radius

Moderate to extensive — no credential declaration found, from the publisher, the upstream registry, or the README. Known so far: mutates data; runs on someone else's infrastructure.
- Floor 26, ceiling 50 (tier: unknown)
- `unknown` means the floor and ceiling land in different bands — not measured enough to name one. It does not mean low.
- This is impact, not likelihood. A high radius is not a defect: a filesystem server is supposed to write files. It is never part of the trust score.
