"A search for PubMed, the biomedical literature database" matching MCP tools:

  • Search PubMed for biomedical literature. Find research articles, reviews, and clinical studies matching your search terms. Supports PubMed query syntax including MeSH terms, field tags, and boolean operators. Args: query: Search terms (e.g. 'diabetes prevention exercise', 'breast cancer[MeSH] AND immunotherapy', 'COVID-19 vaccine efficacy'). limit: Maximum results (default 20, max 100). sort: Sort order - 'relevance', 'date', or 'author' (default 'relevance').

  • Search PubMed for biomedical literature. Returns PMID, title, abstract, authors, journal, and DOI. 36M+ articles indexed.

  • Change how much memory an app's managed database gets. Call this when the database is slow or out of memory. db_ram_mb must be one of the sizes get_resource_usage reports under db_ram.steps_mb and fit your database-RAM pool. WARNING: the database restarts briefly to apply the new size, so the app loses its database connection for a few seconds. Only works if the app has a managed database.

  • Count PubMed publications by year for a biomedical topic. Use for publication momentum, emerging-target activity, or whether a field is accelerating or cooling. Returns exact PubMed search counts for up to 10 calendar years; volume can reflect indexing and terminology changes and is not evidence quality or commercial validation.

  • Fetch the FULL TEXT of a biomedical paper from PubMed Central (the open-access subset) by PubMed ID. PREFER OVER get_abstract when you need methods/results/discussion, not just the abstract — "read the full paper", "what methods did <PMID> use", "extract details from the paper". Resolves the PMID to its PMC id and returns the article body text (capped ~40k chars). Only open-access articles are in PMC — returns has_full_text:false (use get_abstract) otherwise.

  • Get the full abstract and metadata of an MMWR article by PubMed ID. Returns the complete abstract, authors, publication date, volume/issue, and any MeSH subject headings. Use PMIDs from search_mmwr or get_recent_reports results. Args: pmid: PubMed ID of the MMWR article (e.g. '38271059').

  • Search Cochrane systematic reviews via PubMed. Finds Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews articles matching your query. Returns PubMed IDs, titles, and publication dates. Use get_review_detail with a PMID to get the full abstract. Args: query: Search terms for finding reviews (e.g. 'diabetes exercise', 'hypertension treatment', 'childhood vaccination safety'). limit: Maximum number of results to return (default 20, max 100).

  • Get full details of a Cochrane systematic review by PubMed ID. Returns the complete abstract, authors, publication info, MeSH terms, and conclusions of a Cochrane review. Use PMIDs from search_reviews results. Args: pmid: PubMed ID of the review (e.g. '35658166').

  • Search Sponsorable's podcast-sponsorship database for brands that sponsor podcasts — the deep-research/Responses-API compatibility interface, paired with fetch. Matches sponsor names and domains and returns citable documents; pass a result's id to fetch for the full profile. For filtered or paginated search (category, industry, recency), use search_sponsors instead.

  • Search PubMed (NCBI) for medical / life-sciences literature by keyword. Returns enriched article list: pmid, title, authors, journal, year, pub_types, plus a year-range + has-meta-analysis / has-review enrichment block. Ideal for medical RAG agents. Priced at $0.005 USDC on Base (x402). Pass a signed x402 v2 authorization as the '_payment' argument to unlock the paid response. Without it, the tool returns the 402 accept-list for your wallet to sign.

  • START HERE with your research question. This is your step-by-step scientific METHOD guide: it works out what kind of research you're doing, hands you the concrete method one stage at a time, reviews each stage you submit (approves it or returns it for fixes), and controls what gets published. It DIRECTS your research process — it never does the work for you. (This guides HOW you conduct the work. It is NOT the tool for finding methods described in existing papers — for that, use the literature-search tools.)

  • Find papers that CITE a given article — forward citation search. Pass one PMID; returns citing papers (most recent first) with full citation metadata. Use for "who cited this", "has this finding been replicated or challenged", or tracking a paper's downstream impact. NOTE: coverage is the PubMed Central citation graph (open-access + participating publishers), so the count is a FLOOR, not the paper's total citation count (for that, a tool like Semantic Scholar / OpenAlex covers more). Distinct from pubmed_get_related_articles (similar papers, not citing papers).

  • Get external database cross-references for a compound: PubMed citations, patent IDs, gene/protein associations, registry numbers, and taxonomy IDs. Results are paged per type — capped at maxPerType with the total count reported; reach the IDs past a page with offset.

  • Search the Reactome biological pathway database by keyword across all object types (Pathway, Reaction, Protein, Complex, etc.); returns stable IDs and display names grouped by type.

  • Search web, news, or image sources and return ranked results. Operators include quoted phrases, `-term`, `site:host`, `inurl:term`, `intitle:term`, and `related:host`; the set is non-exhaustive. `includeDomains` and `excludeDomains` are mutually exclusive hostname filters; categories limit results to GitHub, research, PDF, or developer sources. For a programming question, add `categories: ["developer"]`. It searches an index of repositories, GitHub issues, merged pull requests, repository READMEs, and curated documentation sites, and returns the hits in `data.web` with `category: "developer"`. `categories: ["research"]` restricts these web results to research-affiliated websites and returns page snippets. The `firecrawl_research_*` tools are a separate surface that searches paper abstracts and full text across biomedical (PubMed, bioRxiv, medRxiv) and arXiv literature. Each web result is a title, URL, and description, not the page. Add `scrapeOptions` to attach page content in the same call; those fetches ignore `maxAge`, so use `firecrawl_scrape` when you need a live fetch. Returns source-type result groups and usage metadata. Authenticated responses can include an `id` for optional search feedback.

  • Full abstract text for one PubMed article by ID. Returns the abstract with structured sections (background, methods, results, conclusions) when the journal published it that way, otherwise the unstructured abstract. Use when summarizing a single paper or answering "what does paper X actually say". For batch citation metadata use get_summary; for finding papers use search_pubmed.

  • "What does paper [DOI] cite" / "references in [paper]" / "what sources does this paper use" — DOIs cited BY the given DOI (the paper's reference list / bibliography). Use for citation-graph traversal, literature review, source tracking.

  • Search clinical trials related to a health condition via PubMed. Finds clinical trial publications matching the condition and optional intervention. Returns trial titles, authors, and PubMed IDs. Args: condition: The health condition or disease (e.g. 'type 2 diabetes', 'breast cancer', 'depression'). intervention: Optional treatment or intervention to include in search (e.g. 'metformin', 'cognitive behavioral therapy'). limit: Maximum number of results to return (default 20, max 100).
