AI assistants can now inspect and verify biomedical evidence with MCP

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

This article demonstrates how to use the MCP (Model-Centric Protocol) to connect AI assistants like Claude and Codex to inspectable biomedical evidence sources. The author details a process involving LitSource, an MCP-compatible client, to retrieve and verify research papers related to a specific claim about semaglutide and permanent weight loss. The key takeaway is the importance of distinguishing between the existence of a paper and its actual support for a given statement, emphasizing the need for careful evidence inspection beyond simple DOI resolution.

    How to Ground Claude or Codex in Inspectable Biomedical Evidence with MCP

    <p>MCP makes it easy to give an AI assistant another tool. The harder problem in research is knowing what the tool actually established. In this walkthrough, I’ll connect LitSource to an MCP-compatible client, find biomedical papers for one claim, verify a short reference list, a…
