Biorxiv MCP Server

List valid subject category strings for bioRxiv and medRxiv — the categories the listing API actually filters on. Use these strings as the `category` filter in biorxiv_list_recent to narrow results to a specific field; case, and "_" or "-" in place of a space, do not matter there. Run this tool before filtering to get the current valid values.

List preprints posted or revised within a date interval, optionally scoped to one server or a subject category. Returns 30 preprints per page (fixed by the API); pass `cursor` as an integer offset (0, 30, 60, …) to step through additional pages. Abstracts are omitted by default to keep the page small — pass include_abstract: true for the whole page, or call biorxiv_get_preprint (up to 10 DOIs

Fetch full metadata, abstract, all revision history, JATS XML full-text links, and published-journal DOI for one or more preprints by DOI. Each DOI returns all revisions in one response. When server="both" (default), each DOI is checked against both bioRxiv and medRxiv; the response includes which server the preprint was found on. Failed lookups are reported per-DOI in failed[] rather than abortin

Resolve a preprint DOI to its full journal publication record — journal DOI, journal name, published date, and corresponding author details. Use when the preprint's `publishedJournalDoi` field from biorxiv_get_preprint is present and you need the full crosswalk metadata. bioRxiv and medRxiv share their DOI prefixes, so server="both" (the default) checks both in parallel and the response reports

List preprints that appeared as journal articles within a journal publication-date interval, each with its journal DOI, journal name, publication date, and preprint metadata — the same record biorxiv_get_published_version returns for one DOI. The dates filter on journal publication, not preprint posting, so most rows were posted months or years earlier; use biorxiv_list_recent for preprints post

Search preprints by keyword and/or author using EuropePMC for relevance ranking, then enrich matching DOIs with full bioRxiv/medRxiv metadata. Provide a keyword query, an author name, or both — author maps to an EuropePMC AUTH: field query and is ANDed with the keyword query. Covers both servers by default. EuropePMC indexes new preprints within 1–2 days of posting; for preprints posted within

Retrieve a preprint's full text as best-effort Markdown, extracted from its rendered HTML article page. Reads the latest version unless one is requested (the version input, or a vN suffix on the DOI), confirms it via the details API, then fetches and extracts the body — abstract, sections, inline citation labels, and the reference list. Table cells are not on the article page: each table appears
