PubMed

Search and retrieve biomedical literature from the National Library of Medicine's PubMed database. Over 36 million citations from MEDLINE, life science journals, and online books.

Capabilities

ToolDescription
search_pubmedSearch by keyword, author name, or MeSH term. Returns PubMed IDs.
get_summaryMetadata for one or more articles: title, authors, journal, DOI.
get_abstractFull abstract text with section labels (Background, Methods, Results, Conclusions).

Typical workflow

  1. Search for articles on a topic with search_pubmed
  2. Get metadata for the top results with get_summary
  3. Pull the full abstract for the most relevant paper with get_abstract

Example: find CRISPR research

curl -X POST https://gateway.pipeworx.io/pubmed/mcp \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/call","params":{"name":"search_pubmed","arguments":{"query":"CRISPR cancer therapy","limit":5}}}'

Query syntax tips

PubMed supports field-tagged searches. Some useful patterns:

  • "Smith J"[Author] -- search by author
  • "COVID-19"[MeSH] -- search MeSH terms
  • "Nature"[Journal] -- restrict to a journal
  • Combine with AND/OR: CRISPR AND (cancer OR tumor)
