Connect the bioRxiv MCP server to Maito in one click, and your whole team can use it from Slack or email: “Find this month's preprints on long COVID treatments.”

bioRxiv and medRxiv hold preprints in biology and medicine before peer review. Connect the bioRxiv MCP server to Maito once, and everyone on your team can use bioRxiv from Slack, by email, or from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Codex, Grok or Muse. Nobody else has to sign in.

What new bioRxiv papers cover CRISPR base editing?

Maito uses bioRxiv to do the work and replies where you asked.

## How to connect bioRxiv

Open Connections in your workspace and choose Connect next to bioRxiv. It needs no separate sign-in: choose Connect and it's ready. Name the account and choose Workspace under who can use it. That's the only time anyone signs in: your whole team, shared chats and Loops can use bioRxiv from then on. Or skip ahead and ask for the work: Maito sends you a link if bioRxiv isn't connected yet.

## Questions

### Who publishes the bioRxiv MCP server?

Anthropic, and it needs no sign-in. Maito connects to it for you, so there's no address to copy.

### Can I use the bioRxiv MCP server from Slack?

Yes. Connect it to Maito once, then mention Maito in any Slack channel or send it a direct message. The same connection works by email and from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Codex, Grok or Muse.

### Does everyone on my team have to connect bioRxiv?

No. One person connects it once and chooses Workspace. Then everyone in the workspace, shared chats and Loops can use bioRxiv, without signing in themselves. Choose Only me instead to keep it to your own chats.

### Do I have to connect bioRxiv before I ask?

No. If a request needs bioRxiv and it isn't connected yet, your agent sends you a link. Connect it, and the work picks up where it stopped.

### Can I limit what Maito does in bioRxiv?

Yes. After you connect, turn off any bioRxiv tools you don't want Maito to use, such as the ones that change data. Tools bioRxiv adds later stay off until you turn them on.
