Medical Paper Assistant

🔬 An MCP-Orchestrated Research Workspace for Medical Paper Writing and LLM Wiki Workflows

3 MCP Servers · 165+ Tools · 26 Skills · 15 Prompts Workflows — monorepo authoring surface plus packaged VSIX surface in one VS Code ecosystem

📖 繁體中文版 🤖 Auto-Paper: Fully Autonomous Paper Writing Guide — 11-Phase Pipeline, 79 Quality Hooks, Structured Review Loop

---

📦 What's in the Box

This repository is the full authoring and integration workspace behind MedPaper Assistant. It combines the core MCP runtime, the packaged VSIX extension, bundled guides, and pinned integration submodules in one place.

Component	Type	Tools	Description
mdpaper	Core MCP Server	117 (full) / 22 (compact default)	Dual workflow server for manuscript and library-wiki paths, plus 3 MCP prompts and 3 MCP resources
pubmed-search	MCP Server (submodule)	37	PubMed/Europe PMC/CORE search, PICO, citation metrics, session mgmt
CGU	MCP Server (submodule)	13	Creative generation: brainstorm, deep think, spark collision
VS Code Extension	Extension	11 cmds + 10 chat	MCP auto-registration, compact-first packaged surface, workspace setup, LLM wiki guide, Foam graph views, @mdpaper chat participant
Dashboard	Next.js Web App	—	Project management UI, diagram editor
Foam	VS Code Extension	—	[[wikilink]] citation linking, hover preview, graph view
Skills	Agent Workflows	26	Guided multi-tool workflows (literature review, draft writing...)
Prompts	Prompt Files	15	/mdpaper.search, /mdpaper.draft, etc.

External MCP Servers (optional, installed via uvx):

• asset-aware — Ingest user-provided DOCX/XLSX/PDF/PPTX source materials and reference full text before drafting
• drawio — CONSORT/PRISMA flowchart generation
• zotero-keeper — Import references from Zotero library

Counts in these tables are release-gated via tool-surface-authority.json and vscode-extension/bundle-manifest.json.

Choose Your Install Surface

Surface	Best for	What you get
Full repository	Maintainers, power users, and workflow authors	Core mdpaper runtime, pinned MCP integrations/submodules, 26 skills, 15 prompt workflows, repo scripts, tests, and authoring docs
VSIX extension	End users who want the packaged experience	@mdpaper, 11 palette commands, compact-first mdpaper runtime (22 tools by default / 117 optional), 14 bundled skills, 13 bundled prompt workflows, 9 bundled agents, and bundled LLM wiki docs

The repository is the broader engineering surface. The VSIX is the curated end-user surface.

VSX note: The MedPaper VS Code extension installs Python MCP tools persistently per machine via uv tool install, attempts uv tool upgrade on later activations, and skips duplicate PubMed Search / Zotero Keeper registration when another installed VS Code extension already provides those MCP servers. CI smoke now covers ubuntu-latest, windows-latest, macos-13, and macos-14, including official MCP client checks plus VSX validation smoke.

How the Pieces Fit Together

🎯 Why This Tool?

Traditional paper writing tools require you to know exactly what you want before you start. But research is rarely that linear.

Medical Paper Assistant is not just a writing assistant. It is a research workspace orchestrator:

• 🔍 Explore First, Decide Later — Browse literature freely, save interesting papers, then decide your research direction
• 📥 Source Material Intake First — Phase 0 scans user-provided DOCX/XLSX/PDF/CSV inputs and flags files that must go through asset-aware ingestion before drafting
• 💬 Conversational Workflow — Chat naturally with AI to refine your ideas, not fight with forms
• 🧭 Guided Process — Step-by-step prompts guide you from concept to publication-ready manuscript
• 🔗 All-in-One — Search, write, cite, analyze, export — all integrated inside VS Code

Traditional Tools	Medical Paper Assistant
Fixed templates, rigid workflow	Flexible, exploratory approach
Separate apps for search/write/cite	One orchestrated workspace: 165+ tools and packaged workflows in VS Code
Manual reference management	Auto-save with verified PubMed data
Export then format	Direct Word export with journal styles
Learn complex UI	Natural language conversation

🚀 Quick Start

Prerequisites

Requirement	Version	Check
Python	3.12+	python3 --version
Git	Any recent	git --version
VS Code	Latest	Help → About
GitHub Copilot	Extension	Extensions panel

Install

# Clone with submodules
git clone --recursive https://github.com/u9401066/med-paper-assistant.git
cd med-paper-assistant

# Run setup script
./scripts/setup.sh          # Linux/macOS
.\scripts\setup.ps1         # Windows PowerShell

The script will:

1. ✅ Create Python virtual environment (.venv/)
2. ✅ Initialize pinned Git submodules from this repository
3. ✅ Install all dependencies (via uv)
4. ✅ Create .vscode/mcp.json configuration for mdpaper, pubmed-search, cgu, zotero-keeper, asset-aware, and drawio
5. ✅ Verify MedPaper and CGU startup paths

Important installation notes:

• The setup script uses pinned submodule commits for reproducible installs. It does not auto-track the latest upstream submodule HEAD.
• If you intentionally want newer submodule code, run git submodule update --remote --merge yourself and test before committing.
• drawio uses npx -y @drawio/mcp, so Node.js/npm must be available on the machine.
• zotero-keeper and pubmed-search are launched via uvx in the repo workflow. In the VSX workflow they may be provided either by MedPaper itself or by separate installed VS Code extensions.

Verify: In Copilot Chat, type /mcp — you should see mdpaper listed 🎉

Optional Integrations

# Foam for reference linking (highly recommended)
code --install-extension foam.foam-vscode

# Draw.io for diagram generation
./scripts/setup-integrations.sh && ./scripts/start-drawio.sh

Windows PowerShell:

.\scripts\setup-integrations.ps1
.\scripts\start-drawio.ps1

💬 MCP Prompts — Just Type and Go

In Copilot Chat, type these prompts to trigger guided workflows:

Prompt	Description
/mdpaper.search	🔍 Start here! Explore literature, save papers
/mdpaper.concept	📝 Develop research concept with novelty validation
/mdpaper.draft	✍️ Write manuscript with auto-citations
/mdpaper.analysis	📊 Analyze CSV data, generate figures & Table 1
/mdpaper.format	📄 Export to Word with journal formatting
/mdpaper.clarify	🔄 Refine specific sections through conversation
/mdpaper.project	📁 Create or switch research projects
/mdpaper.strategy	⚙️ Configure search strategy (dates, filters)
/mdpaper.help	❓ Show all available commands

Two Workflow Paths

Library Wiki Path

• Create a project with workflow_mode="library-wiki"
• Move through search/save_reference_mcp → write_library_note / move_library_note → show_reading_queues / build_library_dashboard
• Use materialize_agent_wiki, Foam graph views, and docs/how-to/llm-wiki.md for cross-note synthesis and traversal

Manuscript Path

• Create a project with workflow_mode="manuscript"
• Move through /mdpaper.search → /mdpaper.concept → /mdpaper.draft → /mdpaper.format
• Only this path enforces concept validation, review loops, and export gates

💡 Recommended usage: converge your literature and concepts in Library Wiki Path first, then switch to Manuscript Path for formal drafting.

Foam + Copilot Knowledge Base

MedPaper already uses Foam as the browse-and-graph layer while Copilot drives ingestion, identity resolution, knowledge-map generation, synthesis pages, block-anchor embeds, and managed graph slices.

The current Foam/Copilot layer now includes orphan / placeholder repair loops, template-driven capture into inbox/, review/, and daily/, richer foam-query dashboards, publish-safe wikilink reference packs under notes/publish/, and project-specific graph_views_json slices.

Docs and tutorials:

• Using the MedPaper LLM Wiki
• Foam Dependency Reference
• Graph-view example for ICU sedation / delirium review

🧠 Skill System + Project Memory

Our core differentiator: We don't just provide tools — we provide guided workflows that know how to combine tools effectively, AND project memory that remembers your research journey across sessions.

What is a Skill?

Tool  = Single capability (search, save, analyze...)
Skill = Complete knowledge (how to combine tools to accomplish tasks)

Representative skill families across the 26 skills:

Category	Skills	Triggers
🔬 Research	literature-review, concept-development, concept-validation, parallel-search	"找論文", "search", "concept", "validate"
✍️ Writing	draft-writing, reference-management, word-export	"寫草稿", "draft", "citation", "export"
📁 Management	project-management, memory-updater, memory-checkpoint	"新專案", "切換", "存檔"
🛠️ Development	git-precommit, code-refactor, test-generator, code-reviewer	"commit", "refactor", "test"

Project Memory

Each project maintains its own .memory/ folder so the AI can continue previous research coherently. The directory layout now splits by workflow mode:

Manuscript Path

projects/{slug}/
├── .memory/
│   ├── activeContext.md   ← Agent's working memory
│   └── progress.md        ← Research milestones
├── concept.md             ← Research concept (with 🔒 protected sections)
├── references/            ← Foam-compatible literature library
├── drafts/                ← Markdown drafts with [[citations]]
├── data/                  ← CSV data files
└── results/               ← Figures, .docx exports

Library Wiki Path

projects/{slug}/
├── .memory/
│   ├── activeContext.md   ← Current library/wiki focus and triage state
│   └── progress.md        ← ingest / organize / synthesize milestones
├── concept.md             ← library workspace seed
├── references/            ← materialized reference notes
├── inbox/                 ← raw notes and capture queue
├── concepts/              ← atomic concept pages and backlinks
├── review/                ← graph repair worklists and review notes
├── daily/                 ← templated daily capture pages
└── projects/              ← synthesis pages / workstreams

MCP-to-MCP Direct Communication

When saving references, data flows directly between MCP servers — the Agent only passes a PMID, never full metadata:

Agent: "save PMID:24891204"
     │
     ▼
mdpaper.save_reference_mcp(pmid="24891204")
     │  Direct HTTP call (not through Agent)
     ▼
pubmed-search: GET /api/cached_article/24891204
     │  Returns verified PubMed data
     ▼
Saved with layered trust:
  🔒 VERIFIED: PubMed data (immutable)
  🤖 AGENT:    AI notes (marked source)
  ✏️ USER:     Your notes (editable)

🛠️ mdpaper MCP Tools

115 tools (full surface) / 22 tools (compact default), plus 3 MCP prompts and 3 MCP resources for official MCP clients.

These counts are runtime-validated via tool-surface-authority.json and scripts/check_tool_surface_authority.py, and the validate/release gates fail if the docs drift from that authority.

Compact mode keeps the main facade entrypoints (project/workspace/review/pipeline/export) and hides most granular public verbs; set MEDPAPER_TOOL_SURFACE=full to expose the complete surface.

CGU runtime notes:

• In the repository workflow, CGU is started from the pinned submodule with uv run --directory integrations/cgu python -m cgu.server.
• In the VSX workflow, MedPaper registers CGU when bundled code or the workspace submodule is available; otherwise CGU is simply skipped.
• CGU itself supports Python >=3.11, but this repository currently requires Python >=3.12, so cross-platform repo setup should be treated as Python 3.12 baseline on macOS, Linux, and Windows.
• The default repo MCP example uses CGU_THINKING_ENGINE=simple, which is the low-friction mode. Advanced LLM-backed modes still depend on CGU-side model/provider configuration.
