bgpt-paper-search

bgpt-paper-search is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from dralkh/seerai. It costs 64 tokens per session (649 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of bgpt-paper-search, MIT.

A scientific-paper search service that returns structured information taken from full-text studies, including methods, results, sample sizes, and conclusions. BGPT is the name of the remote paper database and service it uses.

In plain words
What is it for?
Literature reviews, evidence tables, methodology comparisons, meta-analysis preparation, and searches for quantitative experimental results.
Why use it?
It helps find experimental details that title-and-abstract searches often miss and organizes them for comparison.

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

bgpt-paper-search scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 12d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Origin

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. Configure it in your agent's MCP settings before use; this skill instructs the agent to call the search_papers MCP tool and does not enable MCP access by itself.

Claude Desktop / Claude Code

Add to your MCP configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "bgpt": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["mcp-remote", "https://bgpt.pro/mcp/sse"]
    }
  }
}

npm (alternative)

npx bgpt-mcp

Usage

Once the BGPT MCP server is configured, call its search_papers tool via the agent's MCP interface (not via Bash):

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

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
