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 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

  • Finding quantitative results, sample sizes, or effect sizes across studies

  • Comparing methodologies used in different studies

  • Looking for papers with quality scores or evidence grading

  • Needing structured data from full-text papers (not just abstracts)

  • Building evidence tables for meta-analyses or clinical guidelines

    • Setup

    BGPT is a remote MCP server — no local installation 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 by itself.

    Add to your MCP configuration:

    {
  "mcpServers": {
    "bgpt": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["mcp-remote", "https://bgpt.pro/mcp/sse"]
    }
  }
}

    npm (alternative)

    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: Author 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
