# Manuscript Disclosure Lint

> Runs the same checker as our npm package on a Node.js runtime that pip installs for you (`nodejs-wheel-binaries`) - no system Node.js needed. Your files are checked locally.

![Manuscript Lint - journal disclosure statements (COI, funding, AI use) — finds the line](https://getreadystack.com/img/promo/manuscript-disclosure-lint_demo.gif)

16 rules that catch the statements a journal desk-rejects you for — in your .tex or .md, before you submit

## Install

```
manuscript-disclosure-lint file
```

Node 18+. The same 16 rules as the VS Code extension, from a terminal or CI.

## Free

- Check the manuscript open in your editor against all 16 rules. On the sample paper in _fixtures/dirty.tex it returns 14 findings, 9 of them errors, each pinned to a line with the wording to paste. Nothing is uploaded and nothing is limited.
- `--rules` lists every rule

## With a licence ($29 once)

- Sweep every .tex and .md in the workspace with the same 16 rules and keep a dated submission-readiness report file — one file to a whole thesis, a lab back catalogue or a CI seat. $29 once. Scope and ownership are the only difference; the free file check is never capped.

```
manuscript-disclosure-lint --dir ./templates --report html --out report.html
```

Commercial manuscript formatting and submission-compliance services are priced at $150-$400 per paper; this is the same checklist as a file you run yourself.

## Use from an AI agent (MCP)

Claude Code · Cursor · Windsurf · any MCP client - add to your MCP config:

```json
{ "mcpServers": { "manuscript-disclosure-lint": { "command": "manuscript-disclosure-lint", "args": ["--mcp"] } } }
```

Tools: `check_text` and `check_file` (free) · `check_dir` (licence). The agent gets every finding with the line number.

## Use in CI

```yaml
- name: Manuscript Disclosure Lint
  run: pip install rulestamp-manuscript-disclosure-lint && manuscript-disclosure-lint --dir . --ci
```


The folder sweep, reports and CI mode need one licence — one payment, no subscription. Set `READYSTACK_LICENSE=<key>` or run `--license <key>` once.
