## What it does

research-hub organizes research projects. Track references and inclusion decisions, link claims to sources, record methods and results, and prepare manuscript outlines or revisions. You can register Word, LaTeX, and Markdown documents. The workspace keeps files local and records their paths and hashes; your editor remains in charge of changing the originals.

Add the server to Claude Code with `claude mcp add research-hub -- uvx research-hub-pipeline`. The workspace preview needs Python 3.10+ and Git; the published package can also run a sample dashboard. Tasks can move between the workspace and an AI host through export and import. Connected Codex can draft prose for human review, using text excerpts rather than binary document contents. Handle Word formatting and LaTeX compilation in your editor.

Changed registered files can make a task stale, and proposals wait for review. Acceptance is a separate decision; the workflow stages do not advance automatically.

## Requirements
- Needs: Python and uv (commands run via uvx)

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

**Platform CLI**
```bash
claude mcp add research-hub -- uvx research-hub-pipeline
```
uvx runs the command named after the package; if the README names another one, use uvx --from research-hub-pipeline <command>

### Codex

**Platform CLI**
```bash
codex mcp add research-hub -- uvx research-hub-pipeline
```
uvx runs the command named after the package; if the README names another one, use uvx --from research-hub-pipeline <command>

### Cursor

**Config file**
File `.cursor/mcp.json`:
```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "research-hub": {
            "command": "uvx",
            "args": [
                "research-hub-pipeline"
            ]
        }
    }
}
```
uvx runs the command named after the package; if the README names another one, use uvx --from research-hub-pipeline <command>

### GitHub Copilot

**Config file**
File `.vscode/mcp.json`:
```json
{
    "servers": {
        "research-hub": {
            "type": "stdio",
            "command": "uvx",
            "args": [
                "research-hub-pipeline"
            ]
        }
    }
}
```
uvx runs the command named after the package; if the README names another one, use uvx --from research-hub-pipeline <command>

### Gemini CLI

**Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini mcp add research-hub uvx research-hub-pipeline
```
uvx runs the command named after the package; if the README names another one, use uvx --from research-hub-pipeline <command>

## When to use it
- connect a research question to references and supporting evidence
- record why a publication was included or excluded
- prepare a manuscript outline and hand a task to an AI host
- review a proposal and record whether to accept or revise it

## Example prompts
- Set up a local research project with its question, references, and inclusion decisions.
- Link the claims in this project to their sources and show which support still needs review.
- Draft a manuscript proposal for human review and identify the materials it draws on.
