Has anyone here connected a Botpress agent to an external MCP/API tool for scientific literature search? I’m sharing BGPT MCP because it could be useful for Botpress builders making healthcare, biotech, education, research-assistant, or technical-support agents that need paper-backed answers rather than generic web snippets. BGPT is a hosted MCP server for scientific paper search. Its
search_papers
tool returns structured full-text-derived evidence fields: methods, results/conclusions, sample sizes, model systems, limitations, conflicts/funding, data availability, and quality/reproducibility scores. Docs: https://bgpt.pro/mcp SSE: https://bgpt.pro/mcp/sse GitHub: https://github.com/connerlambden/bgpt-mcp The Botpress angle I’m thinking about: a Botpress agent could handle the conversation/workflow, while BGPT acts as a specialized evidence tool when the user asks for scientific claims, paper comparisons, or research summaries. Would love feedback from Botpress developers: would you wire this in as an external API/action, an MCP wrapper, or would a Botpress-native integration be more useful?
