VeriCite for AI agents

The free tier covers case and statute lookup, citation resolution, and full opinion reads at no charge — the table below says which. Shown exactly once — store it. Paid tools unlock with credit: verify a card (nothing charged) for a $5 starting credit, or add credit any time from inside your agent with the buy_credits tool.

Replace YOUR_TOKEN (filled in automatically after step 1).

First call to make: the free get_started tool — it lists every tool, your live balance, and what each call costs.

ChatGPT and Grok: their hosted connector settings do not currently accept a custom Authorization header for remote MCP servers. Any client that does (the configs above, LM Studio, and most local agent frameworks) works today; tell us at support@vericite.net if you need a specific client and we will prioritize it.

Subscriptions refill more than they cost: basic $5/mo refills $7 credit; solo $15/mo refills $25 credit; practice $50/mo refills $90 credit; firm $150/mo refills $300 credit. Annual is 10x monthly (two months free); unspent credit is refundable. An empty balance answers with a payment link — your agent can hand it to you mid-conversation.
