Pubmed Database

Google DeepMind's PubMed API skill gives Claude direct access to the medical literature database, which is exactly what it sounds like: a way to query millions of research papers without leaving your editor. You'd reach for this when building healthcare tools, doing literature reviews, or needing to back up medical claims with actual citations. It's been around since May 2026 and has decent traction with 1.2K installs and 2.4K GitHub stars. The skill passes most security audits except for a Snyk warning, so check that before using it in production. Honestly, this is one of those specialized tools that's either critical to your work or completely irrelevant, no middle ground.
