MCP server · Beta

Work on your systematic review from the AI assistant you already use

Puraite’s MCP server connects Claude, ChatGPT and other AI agents to your Puraite account. Ask in plain words, and the agent sets up projects, tests search strings, imports records, finds duplicates and reports on your review.

The beta is by invitation. We invite organisations in batches.

Your AI assistantConnected to Puraite

Does adding the MeSH heading for SGLT2 inhibitors change how many records my PubMed search finds?

  1. resolve_meshLooked up the MeSH heading
  2. run_database_searchRan both search strings on PubMed
  3. get_database_searchRead the hit counts and a sample of records

With the MeSH heading, PubMed finds 1,284 records, 173 more than without it. Both runs are saved as search executions in your project. Nothing was imported.

Example with invented projects and numbers.

What an agent can do

The work around the review, done by asking

An agent reads what you can read in Puraite and does the preparing, importing and reporting you would otherwise click through yourself.

Set up a project

Create the project, write the protocol with its question and eligibility criteria, and add your team.

“Create a project from this protocol draft.”

Build the search

Draft the search strategy, look up MeSH headings, translate vocabulary between databases and test search strings on PubMed, OpenAlex and other databases.

“Which of these two search strings finds more records?”

Bring records in

Import RIS, NBIB, BibTeX and CSV files, or lists of PMIDs and DOIs. You see a preview before anything is added.

“Import this export and tell me what could not be read.”

Find duplicates

Run duplicate detection after an import and go through the groups together. Every merge can be undone in Puraite.

“Show me the duplicate groups you are least sure about.”

Keep a living review current

Set up a monitor that reruns your saved searches, read what a run found, and pause or resume it.

“What did last week's monitor run find?”

Report and export

Ask for the project status, the PRISMA flow, open conflicts, the risk of bias and GRADE summaries, or an export of your data.

“Summarise where the review stands for my co-authors.”

What it does not do

Your reviewers still make every review decision

An agent works inside the same rules as the person who connected it.

It acts as you

The agent has your role, your permissions and your blinding, in the one organisation you connect it to. It cannot see a project you cannot see.

Review decisions stay with people

An agent never screens records, extracts data or assesses risk of bias. It prepares and reports; your reviewers decide.

Every action is in the audit trail

The audit trail records each agent action with your name and the connection, for example “Ana Silva via Claude (Agent Connection #12)”.

Your organisation stays in control

An organisation admin turns agent access on. You can disconnect an agent at any time, and a daily limit caps how many calls your agents make.

An agent can read everything you can read in Puraite, including full texts. What it reads is processed by the provider of your assistant, so send full texts to an agent only when you hold the rights to share them with that service.

How the beta works

Three steps to your first request

  1. 01

    Join the waitlist

    Tell us who you are and which assistant you use. It takes a minute.

  2. 02

    We invite your organisation

    We invite organisations in batches and email you when it is your turn.

  3. 03

    Connect your assistant

    Add Puraite's server address to your assistant, sign in to Puraite and approve the connection. No code is needed for Claude, ChatGPT or Gemini.

Agent access belongs to a Puraite organisation. If you do not use Puraite yet, say so in the form and we will contact you about an account.
