What it does

Bgpt Paper Search is an agent skill from agent-skills-hub/agent-skills-hub. Search scientific papers and retrieve structured experimental data extracted from full-text studies via the BGPT MCP server. Returns 25+ fields per paper including methods, results, sample sizes, quality scores, and conclusions. Use for literature reviews, evidence synthesis, and finding experimental details not available in abstracts alone.

Its SKILL.md is about 720 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Research & Science, covering Academic paper search, Literature review and Experimental design. It works with Model Context Protocol. The repository describes itself as: Agent Skills Hub is a global library of AI agent skills that work across OpenClaw, Claude Code, Gemini, Cursor, Antigravity, and more. The licence is MIT.

Requirements

Node.js
Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Bash

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit efc0b96. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

Tool permissions
Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:
- Bash
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
- npx
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:
- bgpt.pro
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Bgpt Paper Search loads about 715 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 90 tokens; SKILL.md has 259 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~90
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~715

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

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.

Claude Desktop / Claude Code

Add to your MCP configuration:

json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "bgpt": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["mcp-remote", "https://bgpt.pro/mcp/sse"]
    }
  }
}

npm (alternative)

bash

npx bgpt-mcp

Usage

Once configured, use the search_papers tool provided by the BGPT MCP server:

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

Complementary Skills

Pairs well with:

literature-review — Use BGPT to gather structured data, then synthesize with literature-review workflows
pubmed-database — Use PubMed for broad searches, BGPT for deep experimental data
biorxiv-database — Combine preprint discovery with full-text data extraction
citation-management — Manage citations from BGPT search results
