About

Simple PubMed provides an MCP server interface to the PubMed database, allowing AI assistants to search and access medical research papers. It leverages the Entrez API to retrieve article abstracts and, when available, full-text content (in XML format, optimized for AI parsing). The server requires an email address for NCBI compliance and optionally supports an API key for increased rate limits. Designed for seamless integration with tools like Claude Desktop, it offers a convenient way to incorporate PubMed research into AI workflows.
