Usage with Claude Desktop

Add this configuration to your claude_desktop_config.json:

(Mac OS)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "biorxiv": {
      "command": "python",
      "args": ["-m", "biorxiv-mcp-server"]
      }
  }
}

(Windows version):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "biorxiv": {
      "command": "C:\\Users\\YOUR_USERNAME\\AppData\\Local\\Programs\\Python\\Python311\\python.exe",
      "args": [
        "-m",
        "biorxiv-mcp-server"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Using with Cline

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "biorxiv": {
      "command": "bash",
      "args": [
        "-c",
        "source /home/YOUR/PATH/mcp-server-bioRxiv/.venv/bin/activate && python /home/YOUR/PATH/mcp-server-bioRxiv/biorxiv_server.py"
      ],
      "env": {},
      "disabled": false,
      "autoApprove": []
    }
  }
}

Start the MCP server:

The bioRxiv MCP Server provides the following tools:

  1. search_biorxiv_key_words: Search for articles on bioRxiv using keywords.
  2. search_biorxiv_advanced: Perform an advanced search for articles on bioRxiv with multiple parameters.
  3. get_biorxiv_metadata: Fetch metadata for a bioRxiv article using its DOI.

You can ask the AI assistant to search for papers using queries like:

Can you search bioRxiv for recent papers about genomics?

Once you have a DOI, you can ask for more details:

Can you show me the metadata for the paper with DOI 10.1101/123456?
