BGPT

BGPT MCP Server provides a remote access point for querying BGPT’s database of scientific papers via the Model Context Protocol. You can search for papers and retrieve rich, structured data extracted from full texts, including methods, results, conclusions, and 25+ metadata fields per paper, enabling powerful reasoning for literature reviews and evidence synthesis.

How to use

Connect to BGPT using any MCP client that supports Server-Sent Events (SSE). Your client will receive structured experiment data for your queries, not just titles or abstracts. Use a direct SSE connection for the fastest, most straightforward experience.

How to install

Prerequisites: you need Node.js and npm installed to use the local MCP client options described here. Ensure you have access to the internet to reach the BGPT MCP server.

Choose one of the installation methods below and follow the steps exactly as shown.

Configuration and usage examples

The following options let you connect to BGPT from your MCP client. Use the direct SSE connection for most users, or run the local MCP client with npx or a global install if your environment requires it.

Additional configuration and end-to-end guide

Here are concrete configuration snippets you can drop into your MCP client configuration. The HTTP option is recommended for remote access, while the stdio option covers environments that prefer a local command execution model.

Use cases and capabilities

BGPT exposes a single tool named search_papers. You provide a query and optional parameters, and you receive structured, full-text extracted data for each paper, including methodological details and study metadata, enabling deeper AI reasoning and evidence synthesis.

Troubleshooting and notes

If you encounter issues connecting to BGPT, verify you are using the SSE endpoint and that your MCP client is configured to reach https://bgpt.pro/mcp/sse. Ensure your client supports Server-Sent Events for stable streaming.

Configuration Reference

BGPT provides both a remote HTTP connection and an optional local stdio setup. Use the HTTP endpoint for straightforward access without local installation. If your workflow requires a local MCP process, use the stdio configuration to launch the BGPT MCP client via the command line.
