Overview

What is medRxiv MCP Server?

The medRxiv MCP Server provides a bridge between AI assistants and medRxiv’s preprint repository through the Model Context Protocol (MCP). It enables AI models to search for health sciences preprints and access their metadata programmatically.

How to use medRxiv MCP Server?

Install the server via Smithery (npx @smithery/cli ...) or manually with uv tool install medRxiv-mcp-server. Start the server with python medrxiv_server.py. Then use MCP tools – search_medrxiv_key_words, search_medrxiv_advanced, or get_medrxiv_metadata – in your AI assistant. For Claude Desktop, add the server configuration to claude_desktop_config.json.
