Synorb gives AI agents new research papers from arXiv, chemRxiv and other preprint servers, each as a short summary with the key claims and a link to the paper. Agents connect through an MCP server or a REST API, so it works in Claude, ChatGPT and other agents. Synorb publishes this guide.
Why agents need a paper feed
arXiv alone posts thousands of papers a week. An agent that searches it ad hoc returns whatever ranks first, not what is new and relevant. A feed already filtered by topic lets an agent tell you what changed in your field this week.
What Synorb covers
- arXiv, selected by topic: AI agents and tool use, AI in finance and markets, AI infrastructure and inference, AI security and safety, code and developer tools, and frontier methods.
- chemRxiv and other preprint servers.
- Research blogs from AI labs and companies.

Frequently asked questions
Can ChatGPT or Claude find new research papers?
Yes, when connected to Synorb. They can list and summarize new papers by topic and link each to the paper.
Does it cover all of arXiv?
No. Synorb follows selected arXiv areas, mostly AI and its applications, so results stay relevant.
Can my agent send me a weekly digest of papers?
Yes. Save the topics as a Beacon and have your agent run it weekly.
Are the summaries checked against the paper?
Each item links to the paper, so you and your agent can always go back to the source.
