Add BGPT MCP as literature search option in bio-research plugin

[connerlambden]

Suggestion

BGPT MCP would be a valuable addition to the bio-research plugin's ~~literature category.

What BGPT provides

BGPT searches scientific papers and returns structured experimental data extracted from full-text studies — not just titles and abstracts. Each result includes 25+ fields: methods, results, sample sizes, quality scores, conclusions, and more.

• Website: https://bgpt.pro/mcp
• GitHub: https://github.com/connerlambden/bgpt-mcp
• Official MCP Registry: Listed at registry.modelcontextprotocol.io
• npm: bgpt-mcp
• Free tier: 50 searches per network, no API key needed

Why it complements existing literature servers

The current PubMed and bioRxiv MCP servers primarily return standard metadata (titles, abstracts, authors). BGPT complements these by providing deeper structured data extracted from the actual paper content — experimental methods, quantitative results, and quality assessments — which is especially useful for systematic reviews and evidence synthesis.

Transport

BGPT currently uses SSE transport (https://bgpt.pro/mcp/sse). I see the bio-research plugin uses streamable HTTP ("type": "http"). I'm working on adding streamable HTTP support. In the meantime, BGPT could be listed in CONNECTORS.md as an alternative literature source.
