BGPT Paper Search

Searches scientific literature through the BGPT MCP server and returns 25+ structured fields extracted from full-text papers.

Data & AnalyticsIntermediate★ 46,333⑂ 4,193AI score 8/10Last updated: Sep 21, 2026

What it does

  • Instructs the agent to call the remote BGPT MCP server's search_papers tool for scientific literature searches.
  • Returns structured full-text data — methods, quantitative results, sample sizes, study quality scores, author conclusions — plus title, authors, journal, year and DOI (25+ fields per paper).
  • Makes it practical to build evidence tables for systematic reviews and meta-analyses instead of reading abstracts one by one.

Who it's for

  • Researchers and graduate students running systematic or scoping reviews
  • Anyone comparing effect sizes, sample sizes, or protocols across studies
  • Clinical guideline and evidence-synthesis writers
  • Data analysts who want paper findings in tabular form

Example uses

  1. Search "CRISPR gene editing efficiency in human cells" and tabulate editing efficiency by cell line.
  2. Collect sample sizes and quality scores across drug trials to draft an evidence-grading table.
  3. Pull the methods sections of 10 papers on one topic and summarize methodological differences.

Prerequisites: the BGPT MCP server must be configured in your agent host, internet access to bgpt.pro is required, and a BGPT API key is needed for paid usage (free tier: 50 searches).

Install in Claude Code

Let Claude do it — paste this into Claude Code

Install the skill I found on Claude Skill Mart.
Copy the skills/bgpt-paper-search folder from the GitHub repo K-Dense-AI/scientific-agent-skills into my ~/.claude/skills/bgpt-paper-search/.
When it's done, tell me in one line what this skill can do.

Install with a command instead

git clone https://github.com/K-Dense-AI/scientific-agent-skills.git && mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills && cp -r scientific-agent-skills/skills/bgpt-paper-search ~/.claude/skills/

⚠ This is a third-party skill. Check the source repository before installing.

  1. Clone the repository: 
    git clone https://github.com/K-Dense-AI/scientific-agent-skills.git
  2. Copy the skill folder into your Claude skills directory: 
    mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
cp -r scientific-agent-skills/skills/bgpt-paper-search ~/.claude/skills/
  3. Verify Node.js is installed so npx works: node -v
  4. Register the BGPT MCP server in your MCP config (claude_desktop_config.json for Claude Desktop, or your Claude Code MCP settings): 
    {
  "mcpServers": {
    "bgpt": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["mcp-remote", "https://bgpt.pro/mcp/sse"]
    }
  }
}
  5. Restart Claude and test with a prompt like "Use BGPT to find papers on ...".
  6. To go beyond the 50 free searches, get an API key at bgpt.pro/mcp and add it to your configuration.
