bgpt-paper-search

bgpt-paper-search is a skill for Claude Code from Lord1Egypt/scientific-agent-toolkit. It costs 64 tokens per session (551 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of bgpt-paper-search, MIT.

A scientific-paper search service that returns structured information extracted from full research papers, not only their titles and abstracts. The results can include methods, measurements, sample sizes, quality assessments, and conclusions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for literature reviews, systematic or scoping reviews, finding quantitative results or effect sizes, comparing methods, assessing evidence quality, and preparing meta-analyses or clinical guidelines.
Why use it?
It helps find experimental details that are often difficult to locate in ordinary literature searches. Structured results make it easier to compare studies and assemble evidence tables.

Token cost

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 11d 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.

What it actually says

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:

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

npm (alternative)

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
Changes

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.
