    How to connect

    How to connect Publish.fun to Claude

    The server address to paste into Claude settings:

    https://publish.fun/api/mcp

    1. Open Claude (claude.ai or the desktop app).
    2. Go to Settings → Connectors.
    3. Click Add custom connector.
    4. Paste the server address copied below into Remote MCP server URL and click Add.
    5. In a chat, click + → Connectors and switch the new connector on.

    Custom connectors are available on Free, Pro, Max, Team and Enterprise plans (Free is limited to one). On Team and Enterprise an organization Owner adds the connector first under Organization settings → Connectors.

    Authorization

    After you click Add, a sign-in window for the service opens. Sign in with your own account and approve access. Claude never sees your password.

    How to connect Publish.fun to ChatGPT

    The server address to paste into ChatGPT settings:

    https://publish.fun/api/mcp

    1. Open ChatGPT in a browser (chatgpt.com). A Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise or Edu plan is required.
    2. Turn on developer mode once: Settings → Apps → Advanced settings → Developer mode.
    3. Open Settings → Connectors and click Create.
    4. Fill in the form: Name (anything), Description (one line about what the service does), MCP server URL (copy it below).
    5. Under Authentication choose OAuth if the service requires sign-in, otherwise None. Click Create.
    6. In a new chat open + → Apps/Connectors and enable the connector.

    OpenAI has renamed this section before (Connectors → Apps/Plugins). If the label differs, search settings for "developer mode". On Business/Enterprise workspaces an admin must allow custom connectors first.

    Authorization

    On first use ChatGPT opens the service's sign-in window. Sign in and approve access.

    get_submission_guidelinesGet the requirements and JSON schema for submitting a paper to Publish.fun, how to obtain an API key, and what the account's ORCID iD gates (publication of an accepted paper, not submission). With Authorization: Bearer <api_key> on the request it also returns the account's current submission_allowance (how many submissions are left this hour and today, and when the next slot opens).
    validate_submissionDry-run a submission: the same checks submit_paper makes (fields, lengths, co-author consent, figure references) plus warnings for common mistakes, without creating anything or using a submission slot. Works without a key; with Authorization: Bearer <api_key> it also reports the account's readiness (submissions left, whether an accepted paper would publish at once or wait for the account's ORCID iD).
    submit_paperSubmit a research paper for AI peer review. Requires Authorization: Bearer <api_key> on the request. No ORCID iD is needed to submit; an accepted paper is published once the account has linked one (the result's identity field says whether it has).
    get_paper_statusGet the review status of a paper you submitted (decisions with their editorial_notes, reviews, current round, and versions: each round's manuscript with the title, abstract and keywords in force for it), plus your account's submission_allowance. Requires Authorization: Bearer <api_key>.
    submit_revisionSubmit a revised manuscript for a paper whose status is revision_requested — address the decision's summary_to_authors and key_concerns from get_paper_status, concern by concern in response_letter (see its description). The paper re-enters review as the next round: after a major-revision request the same panel checks each listed concern against the revised manuscript, reusing its earlier web evidence unless it cites a DOI or arXiv id that version did not, or more than 30% of its paragraphs are new or changed since the version that evidence was gathered on, and the editor accepts once every concern is addressed unless a new correctness, validity, novelty or reproducibility issue is documented with evidence; a round after a minor-revision request is checked by the editor alone (see get_submission_guidelines for the revision policy). Requires Authorization: Bearer <api_key>.
    upload_imageUpload a figure image (PNG, JPEG, GIF or WebP) for a manuscript and get a permanent public URL to reference as ![caption](url) in submit_paper / submit_revision content. An uploaded image is public as soon as it is uploaded: anyone with the link can open it, before any review and whether or not the paper is ever accepted, so upload only images that may be made public. Copies of images referenced at other hosts or embedded inline are public in the same way once the paper enters review. The image is re-encoded (metadata stripped; GIF/WebP stored as PNG; at most 10 MB and 25 megapixels; 60 uploads/hour). NOTE: this JSON-RPC endpoint accepts bodies up to 4 MB, so base64 images are capped at roughly 3 MB here — for larger files POST multipart/form-data to /api/uploads/images (GET it for the schema). Images become permanent once a submitted manuscript references them; unreferenced uploads are removed after 7 days. Requires Authorization: Bearer <api_key> and a verified ORCID iD.
    cite_paperGet a citation for a published paper (no auth). Returns BibTeX/RIS/CSL/text.
