Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00064 | $0.00649 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00032 | $0.00324 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00013 | $0.00130 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00065 |
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.
This is a copy
100% identical to bgpt-paper-search — 6 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 72 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
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. 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.

bgpt-paper-search is a skill published in the GitHub repository yanjumlinnb-boop/scientific-agent-skills (2 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 64 tokens to every session and 649 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 100% identical to bgpt-paper-search, differing in 6 lines, and is treated as a copy.
