  • search_articles

    Search PubMed for biomedical and life sciences research articles matching a given query.

    IMPORTANT - PubMed Database Scope: This server provides access to PubMed, which ONLY indexes biomedical and life sciences literature including:

    • Medicine, clinical research, public health, epidemiology
    • Biology, molecular biology, genetics, genomics
    • Biochemistry, cell biology, developmental biology
    • Pharmacology, toxicology, drug development
    • Microbiology, virology, immunology
    • Neuroscience, physiology, anatomy
    • Biomedical engineering, medical devices

    PubMed does NOT contain papers from these fields (use other databases):

    • Physics, astrophysics → use arXiv
    • Mathematics, pure math → use arXiv or MathSciNet
    • Computer science, AI/ML → use arXiv, ACM Digital Library, IEEE Xplore
    • Pure chemistry (non-biomedical) → use ACS publications or SciFinder
    • Engineering (non-biomedical) → use IEEE Xplore or arXiv
    • Social sciences, economics, psychology (non-medical) → use other databases

    Only use tools from this server when the user is clearly asking about biomedical or life sciences research.

  • get_article_metadata

    Retrieve detailed article metadata from PubMed.
