research-hub

research-hub is an AI-operable research workspace. It can use Zotero, Obsidian, and NotebookLM together, but it is also useful when the user only has two of them.

Default language policy: respond in the user's language, but generate durable research notes and metadata in English unless the user asks otherwise.

Choose The Workflow

User has	Prefer this path
Zotero + Obsidian + NotebookLM	Full `research-hub auto "topic"` workflow
Zotero + Obsidian	Search/add/backfill papers, write Markdown notes, skip NotebookLM with `--no-nlm`
Obsidian + NotebookLM	`import-folder`, dashboard, NotebookLM bundle/upload/generate
Zotero + NotebookLM	Zotero-backed paper selection and NotebookLM operations
No accounts yet	`research-hub dashboard --sample`

First Commands

research-hub dashboard --sample
research-hub setup
research-hub auto "topic" --no-nlm
research-hub serve --dashboard
research-hub doctor --autofix

For local files without Zotero:

research-hub setup --persona analyst
research-hub import-folder ./papers --cluster my-local-review
research-hub serve --dashboard

AI Host Integration

For MCP hosts, configure:

{ "mcpServers": { "research-hub": { "command": "research-hub", "args": ["serve"] } } }

Install host-specific skill files when useful:

research-hub install --platform claude-code
research-hub install --platform cursor
research-hub install --platform codex
research-hub install --platform gemini

For Hermes, OpenClaw, or other hosts with SKILL.md/rules support, copy the relevant skills/<name>/ directories manually or inline the skill text into the host's instructions. Use MCP/REST for tool calls when no installer target exists.

Operating Rules

Run research-hub doctor first when setup or runtime behavior is unclear.
Use --no-nlm for smoke tests or when NotebookLM browser automation is not configured.
Prefer import-folder for analysts, internal knowledge bases, local PDFs, DOCX, Markdown, TXT, and URL sources.
Prefer Zotero-backed commands for DOI/arXiv-heavy academic literature workflows.
Do not delete clusters without previewing cascade impact first.
Treat the vault as user-owned local data; avoid overwriting notes unless the user explicitly asks.

Install research-hub and it becomes one more candidate the router can pick - when it fits.

A listing is a routing target with a manifest: what it does, which domains it covers, what it costs and who publishes it. Once installed it sits beside your own models and tools, is scored like any other candidate for each request, and shows up in the trace when it wins. Ratings come from workspaces that installed it, one per account.
