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.

Use this skill when:
BGPT is a remote MCP server — no local installation required.
Add to your MCP configuration:
{
"mcpServers": {
"bgpt": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["mcp-remote", "https://bgpt.pro/mcp/sse"]
}
}
}
npx bgpt-mcp
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:
