Lineex Pubmed Mcp Smithery

lineex/pubmed-mcp-smithery

Connects Claude to PubMed's E-utilities API for medical literature searches with structured query support. You get five main operations: keyword searches with journal filtering and date sorting, MeSH term lookups for standardized medical vocabulary, publication count comparisons across terms, detailed paper retrieval by PMID including abstracts and authors, and PICO framework searches that combine population, intervention, comparison, and outcome terms with synonym support. Reach for this when you need to programmatically search medical literature, build evidence tables, or run systematic literature reviews without leaving your Claude conversation. Includes automatic retry logic to handle NCBI rate limits.
