How do I use RSpace MCP Server?

1. Click on "Install Server". 2. Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state. 3. In the chat, type @ followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@RSpace MCP Server list my recent notebooks" That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed. Here is a step-by-step guide with screenshots.

RSpace MCP server

This is a proof-of-principle MCP server for RSpace. It exposes some RSpace API endpoints to LLM agents using the Model Context Protocol.

To run, install uv and python, then add this to your Claude or VS Code mcp.json

clone this repo
run uv sync to install dependencies
create a .env file in this folder. Add
- RSPACE_URL=RSpace URL # e.g. https://community.researchspace.com
- RSPACE_API_KEY=your API key

Configure your LLM app. Below is config for VSCode Copilot.

For Claude Desktop add the "rspace" server definition below to your MCP config file.
