SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Traditional literature databases return only titles and abstracts, forcing researchers to manually read full-text papers to find experimental details like methods, sample sizes, and quantitative results. This Skill connects to the BGPT MCP server to search a curated database built from raw experimental data extracted from full-text studies. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Structured Full-Text Search: Returns 25+ fields per paper including methods, quantitative results, sample sizes, quality scores, and conclusions. - Evidence Synthesis: Supports systematic reviews, meta-analyses, and evidence table construction with quality-graded study data. - Use Case: A researcher conducting a scoping review on CRISPR gene editing efficiency can query the database and receive structured comparisons of experimental techniques, effect sizes, and study quality across papers without reading each full text. ## Quick Start Configure the BGPT MCP server in your agent's MCP settings, then ask the agent to search for papers about your research topic using the search_papers tool.

FAQPage Schema
How do I search scientific papers with structured experimental data?▼

Configure the BGPT MCP server in your agent's MCP settings, then call the search_papers tool with your research query. The server returns 25+ structured fields per paper including methods, results, sample sizes, and quality scores.

What is the difference between BGPT and traditional literature databases?▼

Traditional databases return titles and abstracts, while BGPT returns structured data extracted from full-text papers. This includes experimental methods, quantitative results, sample sizes, quality assessments, and conclusions.

How do I configure the BGPT MCP server in Claude Desktop?▼

Add an entry to your MCP configuration with command npx and args mcp-remote pointing to https://bgpt.pro/mcp/sse. Alternatively, run npx bgpt-mcp. No local installation is required since BGPT is a remote server.

Does BGPT paper search require an API key?▼

No API key is required for the free tier, which allows 50 searches per network. Paid usage costs $0.01 per result and requires an API key obtained from bgpt.pro/mcp.

What are the limitations of BGPT paper search?▼

BGPT requires internet access to bgpt.pro and a configured MCP server in the agent host; the skill does not enable MCP access by itself. Free usage is capped at 50 searches per network before an API key is needed.
