5 tools offered to AI assistants

  • pubmed_search · Search PubMed with the same query syntax as the PubMed search box (fields, MeSH terms, boolean operators). Returns the total hit count and a list of PMIDs; use pubmed_summary or pubmed_fetch_abstracts on the PMIDs. E-utilities: esearch.fcgi
  • pubmed_summary · Get short metadata for up to 100 PubMed articles by PMID: title, authors, journal, publication date, DOI and PubMed Central ID. Does not return abstracts (use pubmed_fetch_abstracts). E-utilities: esummary.fcgi?db=pubmed.
  • pubmed_fetch_abstracts · Get the citation and abstract text for up to 20 PubMed articles by PMID, as plain text. Keep the PMID and journal when you cite an article. E-utilities: efetch.fcgi?db=pubmed&rettype=abstract.
  • pubmed_related · List PubMed articles that are similar to one article (PubMed's 'similar articles' links), by PMID. Returns the linked PMIDs; use pubmed_summary for their details. E-utilities: elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&cmd=neighbor.
  • pubmed_database_info · Show PubMed's current record count, last update time and the search field codes (for example TIAB or AU) that pubmed_search accepts. E-utilities: einfo.fcgi?db=pubmed.

What "online" means: the server answered an MCP connection at the time of the check. It is not a guarantee of security, quality or continuous uptime. How we test: we open an MCP session and ask for the tool list, as an AI assistant would. We never run a tool and never send a key. Checked every few days. Method

Is this your server? Monitoring Pro: a check every 30 minutes and an email within the hour when it stops answering. Launch offer: $39.99 once, for life.
