Implementation Reference
- src/index.ts:710-741 (handler)The handler function that executes the 'get_trending_articles' tool logic. It accepts 'field', 'days', and 'max_results' parameters, searches PubMed via eutilsClient with a date range, and returns matching article PMIDs.
async function handleGetTrendingArticles(args: any) { const { field, days = 30, max_results = 20 } = args; const endDate = new Date(); const startDate = new Date(); startDate.setDate(startDate.getDate() - days); const searchResult = await eutilsClient.search({ term: field, retmax: max_results, mindate: formatDateForAPI(startDate), maxdate: formatDateForAPI(endDate), sort: 'pub+date' }); return { content: [ { type: 'text', text: JSON.stringify({ field, days, dateRange: { from: formatDateForAPI(startDate), to: formatDateForAPI(endDate) }, totalResults: searchResult.count, pmids: searchResult.pmids }, null, 2) } ] }; - src/index.ts:226-251 (registration)Where the 'get_trending_articles' tool is registered with its name, description, and input schema. It defines required 'field' param and optional 'days' and 'max_results' params.
