It is powered by a custom MCP-based orchestration engine that simulates the full academic workflow **Research → Critique → Revision**. <br> This enables multi-step reasoning, reviewer-style critique, and structured revision passes beyond standard chat-based assistance. <div align="center"> <a href="https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/paperdebugger/dfkedikhakpapbfcnbpmfhpklndgiaog" target="_blank"><strong>🚀 Install from Chrome Web Store</strong></a> • <a href="https://github.com/PaperDebugger/paperdebugger/releases/latest" target="_blank"><strong>📦 Download Latest Release</strong></a> </div> <div align="center"> <img src="docs/imgs/preview2.png" width="47%" style="margin: 0 1.5%;"/> <img src="docs/imgs/preview3.png" width="44.6%" style="margin: 0 1.5%;"/> <img src="docs/imgs/preview1.png" width="96%" style="margin: 0 1.5%; border-radius: 0.5rem;"/> </div> ## 🌐 Social Media & Community Groups Our team is actively working to improve long-term reliability, hoping to iron out issues this month.
