authorecon

Reconciles a body of published work against every place it lives — for any ORCID, from public sources. A deposit exists in more places than the person who made it can hold in their head.

What it does

Reconciles a body of published work against every place it lives — for any ORCID, from public sources. A deposit exists in more places than the person who made it can hold in their head: the DOI, the index, the profile, the repository, the aggregator that copied it, and the one that copied it wrong.

The half people skip

It also carries the gates that run before research output leaves your hands. Reconciling after publication tells you where the mistake went; a gate before it tells you not to make it. Both halves are the same tool because they are the same question asked at two different times.

What it will not do

It reads public sources only, and it does not treat a citation count as a signal — a count reflects how long a corpus has been indexed at least as much as it reflects anything about the work.

What it does

Every place, not just the good onesThe record that is missing and the record that is wrong are both findings.

Gates before publicationIt also carries the checks that run before research output leaves your hands. Reconciling afterwards tells you where the mistake went; a gate tells you not to make it.

Public sources onlyNothing here needs an account or a key.

It ignores citation countsA count reflects how long a corpus has been indexed at least as much as anything about the work.

An MCP serverUsable from a tool that speaks MCP as well as from a shell.

Any ORCIDIt is not tied to one identity, so it works as a check on somebody else's record too.

Questions

Do I need an account anywhere?: No. It reads public sources.
Will it tell me how well my work is doing?: No, deliberately. It tells you where your work IS. Impact is a different question and citation counts are a bad proxy for it.
