Bgpt paper search

--- name: bgpt-paper-search description: Search scientific papers and retrieve structured experimental data extracted from full-text studies via the BGPT MCP server. Returns 25+ fields per paper, including methods, results, sample sizes, quality scores, and conclusions. Use for literature reviews, evidence synthesis, and finding experimental details not available in abstracts alone. license: MIT compatibility: Requires the BGPT MCP server configured on the agent host (npx mcp-remote or npx bgpt-mcp), internet access to bgpt.pro, and an optional BGPT API key for paid usage. metadata: {"version": "1.1", "skill -author": "BGPT", "website": "https://bgpt.pro/mcp", "github": "https://github.com/connerlambden/bgpt-mcp"} --- # BGPT Paper Search ## Overview BGPT is a remote-MCP-server that searches a curated database of scientific papers built from raw experimental data extracted from full-text studies. Unlike traditional literature databases that return titles and abstracts, BGPT returns structured data from the actual paper content:methods, quantitative results, sample sizes, quality assessments, and over 25 metadata fields per paper. ## When to Use This Skill Use this skill when: - Searching for scientific papers with specific experimental details - Conducting systematic or scoping literature reviews - You need to find quantitative results, sample sizes, or effect sizes across studies - You’re comparing methodologies used in different studies - You’re looking for papers with quality scores or evidence grading - You need structured data from full-text papers (not just abstracts) - You’re building evidence tables for meta-analyses or clinical guidelines ## Setup BGPT is a remote-MCP-server:no local installation is required. Configure it in your agent’s MCP settings before use; this skill instructs the agent to call the search_papers MCP tool and does not enable MCP access on its own. ### Claude Desktop / Claude Code Add the following to your MCP configuration: ``json { "mcpServers": { "bgpt": { "command": "npx", "args": ["mcp-remote", "https://bgpt.pro/mcp/sse"] } } } ` ### npm (alternative) `bash npx bgpt-mcp ` ## Usage Once the BGPT MCP server is configured, call its search_papers tool via the agent's MCP interface (not via Bash): ` Search for papers about: "CRISPR gene editing efficiency in human cells" `` The server returns structured results including: - Title, authors, journal, year, DOI - Methods: Experimental techniques, models, protocols - Results: Key findings with quantitative data - Sample sizes: Number of subjects/samples - Quality scores: Study quality assessments - Conclusions: Authors’ conclusions and implications ## Pricing - Free tier: 50 searches per network; no API key required - Paid: $0.01 per result with an API key from bgpt.pro/mcp
