Allows retrieving preprint metadata using DOI identifiers, and finding preprints subsequently published by a given DOI prefix.
Click on "Install Server".
Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state.
In the chat, type @ followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@mcp-biorxiv Get details for DOI 10.1101/2023.01.01.123456"
That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed.
Here is a step-by-step guide with screenshots.
bioRxiv / medRxiv MCP
Part of Pipeworx — an MCP gateway connecting AI agents to 673+ live data sources.
Tool | Description |
| Preprint metadata by DOI or by date / date range. |
| Preprints that have since been published in a peer-reviewed journal. |
| Preprints subsequently published by a given DOI prefix (e.g. "10.1038" for Nature). |
| bioRxiv submission/publication counts. Interval: "m" (monthly, default) or "y" (yearly). bioRxiv only — medRxiv has no /sum endpoint. |
