Pull request overview
Adds a new GitHub Copilot custom agent focused on scientific literature research, backed by the BGPT MCP server, so users can search papers and extract structured experimental details directly from Copilot Chat.
Changes:
- Introduces a new
scientific-paper-researchagent with MCP configuration for BGPT over SSE. - Defines an agent workflow for querying, reviewing structured results (methods/results/sample sizes/quality), and synthesizing evidence.

This PR adds a new agent file, but it isn’t discoverable from the agents index. Please add an entry for this agent to docs/README.agents.md (title/description + BGPT MCP server link) so users can find/install it from the docs table.

Summary
Adds a new agent for scientific paper research using the BGPT MCP server.
This agent helps developers and researchers search scientific papers and retrieve structured experimental data (methods, results, sample sizes, quality scores) from full-text studies — directly from Copilot Chat.
MCP Server
https://bgpt.pro/mcp/ssesearch_papers— natural language search across scientific literatureUse Case
A developer working on a health/biotech application needs to validate clinical evidence or review published research without leaving the editor. The agent searches papers, returns structured experimental data, and synthesizes findings.
