sota-anchor is an MCP server and Claude Code plugin that helps coding agents check for recent papers, repositories, and packages before assuming something doesn't exist. It inverts the agent's assumptions into search queries across arXiv, Hugging Face, GitHub, npm, and crates.io, returning dated evidence so the agent can reuse existing work or build with confidence.

Target audience: AI engineers and developers using coding agents
