bgpt-paper-search

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.

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.

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 configured, use the search_papers tool provided by the BGPT MCP server:

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

pufferlib

High-performance reinforcement learning framework optimized for speed and scale. Use when you need fast parallel training, vectorized environments, multi-agent systems, or integration with game environments (Atari, Procgen, NetHack). Achieves 2-10x speedups over standard implementations. For quick prototyping or standard algorithm implementations with extensive documentation, use stable-baselines3 instead.
