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 BGPT when the value is in structured full-text experimental data, not titles/abstracts:

• Building evidence tables for a meta-analysis, scoping review, or clinical guideline
• Extracting sample sizes, effect sizes, methods, protocols, or conclusions across studies
• Comparing methodologies, or filtering papers by quality score / evidence grading

For broad title/abstract discovery use alterlab-pubmed; for real-time web-grounded summaries of recent developments use alterlab-perplexity.

Setup

BGPT is a remote MCP server — no local installation required.
