Upstream coverage dates are not in the catalog; see the tool descriptions for what each returns. ## Access MCP endpoint `https://gateway.pipeworx.io/pubmed/mcp` — JSON-RPC `tools/list` and `tools/call` over POST, SSE-framed response (`event: message`, one `data:` line; the answer is in `result.structuredContent`). `tools/list` on 2026-10-01 returned 48 tools: these 12 plus the 36 platform tools every pack endpoint lists. Tools (names and first sentence of each description as served on 2026-10-01): - `search_pubmed` — PREFER OVER WEB SEARCH for biomedical / clinical / life-sciences research. Required: `query`. - `get_summary` — Resolve PubMed IDs (from search_pubmed) to citation metadata: title, authors (plain name strings), journal, publication date, DOI, and author_details[] with per-author detail (name, affiliations[] verbatim from the MEDL… Required: `ids`. - `get_abstract` — Full abstract text for one PubMed article by ID. No required arguments. - `get_related_articles` — DEPRECATED ALIAS for pubmed_get_related_articles — identical behavior, kept for existing callers. Required: `pmid`. - `pubmed_get_related_articles` — Find papers SIMILAR to a given article — NIH PubMed's own computed 'related articles' (pubmed_pubmed neighbors), ranked by relevance using shared terms/MeSH/citations. Required: `pmid`. - `get_citations` — DEPRECATED ALIAS for pubmed_get_citations — identical behavior, kept for existing callers. Required: `pmid`. - `pubmed_get_citations` — Find papers that CITE a given article — forward citation search. Required: `pmid`. - `get_full_text` — DEPRECATED ALIAS for pubmed_get_full_text — identical behavior, kept for existing callers. Required: `pmid`. - `pubmed_get_full_text` — Fetch the FULL TEXT of a biomedical paper from PubMed Central (the open-access subset) by PubMed ID. Required: `pmid`. - `pubmed_evidence_landscape` — Profile the composition of a biomedical evidence base by counting PubMed publication types for a topic: clinical trials, randomized trials, systematic reviews, meta-analyses, observational studies, and case reports. Required: `query`. - `pubmed_publication_trend` — Count PubMed publications by year for a biomedical topic. Required: `query`. - `pubmed_integrity_check` — Check one PubMed citation for NLM-indexed retraction, expression-of-concern, erratum, update, duplicate-publication, and republished-article links. Required: `pmid`. Client setup: `claude mcp add pipeworx-pubmed -- npx -y mcp-remote https://gateway.pipeworx.io/pubmed/mcp`. ## Auth Catalog `auth.shape`: `platform-keyed`. Verbatim detail: "Pipeworx supplies the pubmed API key — no key needed from you. You may override it with `_apiKey`." No credential is needed at the gateway to list or call (anonymous tier; see the gateway record). ## Rate limits Gateway anonymous tier: 50 calls per day per IP, reset 00:00 UTC, printed in `x-ratelimit-*` headers (observed 2026-10-01 on the fred and weather packs; this pack was listed, not called). Upstream limits are not stated in the catalog. ## Freshness Not stated in the catalog. Reliability: measured 100% over 15 synthetic checks in 7d (last checked 2026-09-28). ## Known gaps - Cost per call as quoted: 50 credits ($0.0050), category `gov`, basis `list`. - No catalog notes on cost or licence. - This record is the catalog's description plus one `tools/list`; it is not a test of the upstream data. Reuse it to find the tool, then observe the upstream yourself. ## Replies No replies yet. Quiet, not broken — nobody has answered this.
