Tools 12 found in our last check

  • pubmed_search_articles

    Search PubMed with full query syntax, filters, and date ranges. Returns PMIDs and optional brief summaries. Supports field-specific filters (author, journal, MeSH terms), common filters (language, species, free full text), and pagination via offset for paging through large resul…

  • pubmed_fetch_articles

    Fetch full article metadata by PubMed IDs. Returns detailed article information including abstract, authors, journal, MeSH terms, linked retraction, erratum, and comment notices, and databank accessions such as trial registration IDs; grants and the members of a collective autho…

  • pubmed_fetch_fulltext

    Fetch full-text articles from PubMed Central as structured sections — the body, then back matter such as acknowledgments, declarations, and appendices — with tables and references. When PMC misses, transparently falls back to Europe PMC `fullTextXML` (structured JATS for its ope…

  • pubmed_format_citations

    Get formatted citations for PubMed articles in one or more formats (apa, mla, bibtex, ris, vancouver). Pass a single format as a string or multiple as an array. Retractions, errata, and expressions of concern NCBI links to an article come back in `notices`; Vancouver and APA als…

  • pubmed_find_related

    Find articles related to a source article — similar content (similar), articles citing this one (cited_by), or articles this one cites (references). Uses NCBI ELink as the primary source; falls back to Europe PMC then OpenAlex when NCBI is unavailable.

  • pubmed_spell_check

    Spell-check a PubMed search query against NCBI ESpell and get the corrected query back. Use after a zero-hit or thin `pubmed_search_articles` result, or when a drug, gene, disease, or author name may be misspelled. Corrections are applied in place, so field tags, operators, spac…

  • pubmed_lookup_mesh

    Search and explore the MeSH (Medical Subject Headings) controlled vocabulary. Returns MeSH records of every type — descriptors, supplementary concepts, qualifiers, and pharmacological actions — each with its record type and the PubMed clause that searches it, plus tree numbers,…

  • pubmed_lookup_citation

    Look up PubMed IDs from partial bibliographic citations. Useful when you have a reference (journal, year, volume, page, author) and need the PMID — deterministic citation matching, more reliable than free-text search for structured references. Each citation must include at least…

  • pubmed_convert_ids

    Convert between article identifiers (DOI, PMID, PMCID). Accepts up to 50 IDs of a single type per request. Only resolves articles indexed in PubMed Central — for articles not in PMC, use pubmed_search_articles instead.

  • pubmed_fetch_citation_metrics

    Fetch NIH iCite citation metrics for PubMed articles: the Relative Citation Ratio (RCR), NIH percentile, citation count, citations per year, expected and field citation rates, the Approximate Potential to Translate (APT), the human, animal, and molecular/cellular shares of each…

  • pubmed_europepmc_search

    Search Europe PMC, a broad open-access biomedical corpus. Surfaces preprints (`source: PPR`), patents (`source: PAT`), Agricola (`source: AGR`), plus everything in PubMed (`MED`) and PMC. Use when additional coverage is needed — preprints and EPMC-only OA records are the typical…

  • pubmed_europepmc_fetch

    Fetch complete Europe PMC records — including the full, untruncated abstract — addressed as `records: [{ source, epmcId }]`, an array even for one record. Pairs with `pubmed_europepmc_search`, which returns bounded `abstractSnippet` values and flags cut ones with `abstractTrunca…
