Get Started Free →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 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:
json{ "mcpServers": { "bgpt": { "command": "npx", "args": ["mcp-remote", "https://bgpt.pro/mcp/sse"] } } }
bashnpx 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:
Pairs well with:
literature-review — Use BGPT to gather structured data, then synthesize with literature-review workflowspubmed-database — Use PubMed for broad searches, BGPT for deep experimental databiorxiv-database — Combine preprint discovery with full-text data extractioncitation-management — Manage citations from BGPT search results| Case | Status | Duration (ms) | Turns | Tokens | Tool calls | ||||||||

DecimalAI ran this skill against gemini-3.6-flash twice over the same eval suite — once with the skill loaded and once without — and compared the two runs case by case. 22 cases were attempted. The headline lift of +32 percentage points is the difference between those two pass rates over the 22 comparable cases.
The per-case answers from this run were removed by the retention sweep, so the case table below shows the verdicts without the text either arm produced. The counts above were recorded at the time and are unaffected. Answers are now kept for 180 days.
Other measured skills in the registry, with their headline benchmark lift.
