Agent skill
bgpt-paper-search
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.

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

pufferlib
This skill should be used when working with reinforcement learning tasks including high-performance RL training, custom environment development, vectorized parallel simulation, multi-agent systems, or integration with existing RL environments (Gymnasium, PettingZoo, Atari, Procgen, etc.). Use this skill for implementing PPO training, creating PufferEnv environments, optimizing RL performance, or developing policies with CNNs/LSTMs.
fluidsim
Framework for computational fluid dynamics simulations using Python. Use when running fluid dynamics simulations including Navier-Stokes equations (2D/3D), shallow water equations, stratified flows, or when analyzing turbulence, vortex dynamics, or geophysical flows. Provides pseudospectral methods with FFT, HPC support, and comprehensive output analysis.
metabolomics-workbench-database
Access NIH Metabolomics Workbench via REST API (4,200+ studies). Query metabolites, RefMet nomenclature, MS/NMR data, m/z searches, study metadata, for metabolomics and biomarker discovery.
build-error-resolver
Compatibility alias for build-specific error resolution. Use this when VCO routes to build-error-resolver but the upstream agent is unavailable in the current runtime.
geniml
This skill should be used when working with genomic interval data (BED files) for machine learning tasks. Use for training region embeddings (Region2Vec, BEDspace), single-cell ATAC-seq analysis (scEmbed), building consensus peaks (universes), or any ML-based analysis of genomic regions. Applies to BED file collections, scATAC-seq data, chromatin accessibility datasets, and region-based genomic feature learning.
zinc-database
Access ZINC (230M+ purchasable compounds). Search by ZINC ID/SMILES, similarity searches, 3D-ready structures for docking, analog discovery, for virtual screening and drug discovery.
