The abstract is read at the publisher; the summary is JClub's.
Paper2Agent converts research papers into AI agents that expose manuscript, code, and workflows as MCP servers, enabling tool-using chat queries and validated result reproduction.
- Why it matters: Conventional papers are hard to reuse because readers must manually adapt code, data, and methods, limiting dissemination and discovery.
- What they did: The framework analyzes each paper and its codebase with multiple agents to build an MCP server, then generates and runs tests to improve robustness.
- The result: In case studies, agents based on AlphaGenome 1 and Scanpy 2/TISSUE reproduce original paper results and support novel queries, including multi-agent prioritization of a causal gene for psoriasis.
