A straightforward wrapper around NCBI's Entrez API that lets you search PubMed and retrieve medical research papers directly in Claude. Exposes three main operations: keyword and MeSH term searches, abstract retrieval, and full-text downloads for open access articles in PubMed Central. Also includes prompt templates for systematic reviews, PICO framework searches, and author queries. Requires an email for API compliance and optionally an NCBI API key for higher rate limits. Returns full text as structured XML rather than plain text, which gives AI assistants better document structure information for analysis and citation work.
