PubMed MCP
A MCP server that allows to search and fetch articles from PubMed.
PubMed is a database of over 35 million citations for biomedical literature from MEDLINE, life science journals, and online books.
This MCP server relies on the pubmedclient Python package to perform the search and fetch operations.
Usage
Add the following to your claude_desktop_config.json file:
{
"mcpServers": {
"pubmedmcp": {
"command": "uvx",
"args": [
"pubmedmcp@latest"
],
"env": {
"UV_PRERELEASE": "allow",
"UV_PYTHON": "3.12"
}
}
}
}
Make sure uv is installed on your system and ‘uvx’ is available in your PATH (claude PATH sometimes is not the same as your system PATH).
You can add a PATH key in your claude_desktop_config.json file to make sure uv is available in claude PATH.
