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 in the agent host (npx mcp-remote or npx bgpt-mcp), internet access to bgpt.pro, and an optional BGPT API key for paid usage.

# 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.

### Claude Desktop / Claude Code

Add 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**: Author conclusions and implications
