Capabilities

What this server is able to do. For an MCP server this is often the job itself — a terminal server runs commands because that is what it is for. Listed so you know what you are plugging in, not as an accusation.

Runs an external command src/research_hub/cli_paper.py:46, src/research_hub/cli_search.py:204, src/research_hub/dashboard/executor.py:331 и ещё 15

    completed = subprocess.run([sys.executable, str(script_path)], cwd=str(repo_root))

Builds a file path from a variable src/research_hub/zotero/fetch.py:444, [пакет] src/research_hub/zotero/fetch.py:444

        filepath = os.path.join(kb, 'raw', fname)

Is this your server and something here is wrong? Tell us — corrections are free and do not require a plan.

This code can reach further than it looks

We found places where it runs commands, builds paths or queries from values it is given. None of that is a flaw by itself — it becomes one when the code changes, and code changes quietly between releases. We re-read it on every one.

Research Hub — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Research Hub?

Research Hub runs on your own machine over stdio — there is no network address to reach, so uptime cannot be measured for it by anyone. What can be measured is adoption: the pypi package research-hub-pipeline was installed 2 489 times last week.

How do I connect Research Hub?

Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It runs locally, so the command pulls research-hub-pipeline straight from pypi; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.

How many people use Research Hub?

The pypi package research-hub-pipeline was installed 2 489 times in the last week. Week over week that is +141%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.

Is Research Hub open source?

Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in Python, 55 stars on GitHub and 1 open issue. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
