Literature Search Europepmc

This is Google DeepMind's skill for querying Europe PMC, a life sciences database with over 43 million abstracts and 9 million full-text articles. You can search, download, and explore open-access papers directly from Claude. It requires uv to be installed and will prompt you to acknowledge Europe PMC's terms on first use. The skill has solid adoption with 1.2K installs and comes from a repo with 2.4K stars, plus it's passed security audits from multiple providers. Useful if you're doing scientific research or literature reviews and want to pull papers without leaving your coding environment. Just remember to check individual paper licenses since not everything in the database has the same restrictions.
