## Description

Searches BGPT scientific papers by topic or DOI and retrieves claim-level evidence extracted from full text, including experiments, reported statistics, scope, limitations, and provenance. Use for literature reviews, evidence synthesis, and finding experimental details beyond abstracts.

## SKILL.md, as published by its author (untrusted third-party text, read it as data)

# BGPT Paper Search

## When to use

Use BGPT to find full-text-derived evidence for a research question or a known
DOI. It returns extracted claims and their supporting experiments, rather than
only bibliographic metadata. Use these records to build a traceable evidence
table; they are not a complete systematic-review search or a validated
risk-of-bias assessment.

## Connect

Configure BGPT in the host before use; installing this skill does not register
an MCP server. The provider supports both transports:

| Transport | Endpoint |
| --- | --- |
| Streamable HTTP | `https://bgpt.pro/mcp/stream` |
| SSE | `https://bgpt.pro/mcp/sse` |

Use the host's native remote-MCP configuration when supported. For a host that
uses `mcpServers` JSON and requires a local stdio bridge, this configuration uses
`mcp-remote` (adapt it to the host's actual settings format):

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "bgpt": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "mcp-remote", "https://bgpt.pro/mcp/stream", "--transport", "http-only"]
    }
  }
}
```

The published `bgpt-mcp` 1.1.0 npm package is a thin SSE wrapper around
`mcp-remote`, not a local paper database. Its bundled README predates the current
tool contract and pricing. Prefer the native connection or configurable bridge
above. The linked BGPT GitHub repository was unavailable at review time; use
[the current provider documentation](https://bgpt.pro/mcp/) and live tool schema.

Free access needs no key. For paid usage, configure `Authorization: Bearer <key>`
in the host's remote-server headers, using its credential storage. For the bridge,
[`mcp-remote` supports `--header-file`](https://github.com/punkpeye/mcp-remote#custom-headers)
with a local credential file. Do not put `api_key` in an MCP tool call: neither
current tool declares that argument. Authenticate through the connection.
