Click on "Deploy Server".
Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state.
In the chat, type
@followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@researchSyncfind recent arXiv papers on vision transformers"
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.

researchSync offers two services:
FastAPI-MCP Server: Connects to MCP Hosts like Claude Desktop to retrieve papers' metadata from arXiv and store it in a Notion database. You can then query this database to find the best paper you need.
Web App: Powered by Gradio (with plans to migrate to React in the future) for the frontend and FastAPI for the backend. It uses a Notion and Redis database to store metadata of the papers from arXiv and vector embeddings for retrieving the best papers based on user queries.
Python Version
Python: 3.11
Related MCP server: kivv
System Overview
The system will:
Monitor arXiv publications from ML/AI related tags (e.g., 'cs.AI').
Fetch metadata (title, authors, abstract) and add to Notion Database using Prefect workflow.
Store data in a Notion database.
Convert the paper's abstract to vector embeddings for fast retrieval and store on Redis.
Allow an AI assistant to query or manage the database via MCP.
