## GitHub About

Description:

```text
AI-operable research workspace for Zotero, Obsidian, and NotebookLM. Use any two, or all three, through CLI, MCP, REST, and dashboard.
```

```

## One-Line Pitch

research-hub connects Zotero, Obsidian, and NotebookLM so an AI assistant can run repeatable literature workflows instead of forcing you to copy data between tools.

## Short Launch Copy

If your research workflow already spans Zotero, Obsidian, and NotebookLM, research-hub turns that stack into something your AI assistant can actually operate.

It provides a CLI, MCP server, REST API, and dashboard for the repetitive parts of research work: paper discovery, metadata enrichment, Zotero tagging, Obsidian note creation, NotebookLM brief generation, cluster diagnostics, cached answers, and vault maintenance.

You do not need the full stack to start. Use Zotero + Obsidian for citation-backed notes, Obsidian + NotebookLM for local-file briefings, Zotero + NotebookLM for source selection and AI briefs, or all three for the full loop.

## Message Hierarchy

Primary message:

```text
Turn your research stack into an AI-operable workspace.
```

Secondary message:

```text
Use Zotero, Obsidian, and NotebookLM together, or start with any two.
```

Proof points:

- CLI, MCP server, REST API, and dashboard.
- Local-first vault with normal Markdown files.
- Works with Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, Continue.dev, Codex CLI, Gemini CLI, browser AIs through REST, and custom Python scripts.
- Sample dashboard works before connecting accounts.
- Current release line reports 1759 tests, 83 MCP tools, and 12 REST endpoints.

## Who It Is For

- PhD students and academic researchers who live in Zotero and Obsidian.
- Humanities researchers who need quotes, sources, and structured notes more than DOI-only workflows.
- Industry researchers and consultants who work with PDFs, reports, DOCX files, Markdown, and web pages.
- Labs or teams that want a local-first knowledge workspace that AI tools can inspect and maintain.

## What Not To Claim

- Do not claim research-hub replaces Zotero, Obsidian, or NotebookLM. It connects them.
- Do not claim NotebookLM automation is guaranteed forever; browser UI automation can break when NotebookLM changes.
- Do not claim it is a hosted SaaS. It is a local-first Python package.
- Do not claim users need all three tools. The strongest adoption message is "any two, or all three."
