mcp-biorxiv

bioRxiv + medRxiv preprint server API

Part of Pipeworx — an MCP gateway connecting AI agents to 250+ live data sources.

Tools

Tool	Description
`details`	Preprint metadata by DOI or by date / date range.
`published`	Preprints that have since been published in a peer-reviewed journal.
`publisher`	Preprints subsequently published by a given DOI prefix (e.g. "10.1038" for Nature).
`summary`	bioRxiv submission/publication counts. Interval: "m" (monthly, default) or "y" (yearly). bioRxiv only — medRxiv has no /sum endpoint.

Add to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "biorxiv": {
      "url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/biorxiv/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Or connect to the full Pipeworx gateway for access to all 250+ data sources:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pipeworx": {
      "url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Instead of calling tools directly, you can ask questions in plain English:

ask_pipeworx({ question: "your question about Biorxiv data" })

The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.
