A remote MCP server for searching scientific papers with full-text experimental data extraction.
Overview
BGPT is a remote Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides AI assistants access to a database of scientific papers. Unlike typical search tools that return only titles and abstracts, BGPT extracts raw experimental data including methods, results, conclusions, quality scores, sample sizes, and 25+ metadata fields per paper. The server offers both SSE and Streamable HTTP transport options with a free tier allowing 50 results without an API key, making it accessible for various research workflows.

After installing, here are 3 things you can ask your AI assistant:
When to choose this
Choose BGPT when you need to search scientific literature with access to raw experimental data rather than just titles and abstracts, and you're working with an MCP-compatible AI tool like Claude or Cursor.
When NOT to choose this
Don't choose BGPT if you need access to papers beyond what's in their database, require offline access, or need a more comprehensive metadata search than what's provided.
