Tools (9)
Read from the source code; the running server may differ. Descriptions are the server’s own words; hidden characters are shown as [U+…].
build_knowledge_graphLink a study's searches and key papers into an Obsidian vault, kg_<topic>, with notes for papers, MeSH concepts and searches. Later calls with the same topic add to it; refresh reruns every recorded search and key paper.
downloadDownload the newest matches of a PMC search as JSON files, one per article, into <output_dir>/<folder named after the search>. Existing files are skipped. Articles whose publishers forbid downloading are counted as unavailable.
export_citationsWrite the downloaded articles, or chosen ones, as a BibTeX or RIS file that Zotero, EndNote or Mendeley imports. Give the researcher the file's path.
fetch_abstractsSave the abstracts of a PubMed search's newest matches, including articles whose full text is not free in PMC, into the same folder download uses. list_articles then shows them marked [abstract only]. Use it when search_pmc reports many more articles in PubMed than in PMC.
list_articlesDownloaded articles, newest first, each once: identifiers, year, journal, title and length. With ids, only those articles; with abstracts, their abstracts too. Scan titles first, then read the abstracts of the articles that bear on the question.
most_citedThe works the downloaded articles cite most: the field's foundations, and good key papers for the neighborhood tool.
neighborhoodSimilar, citing and cited papers of one PubMed article, with counts of reviews, retractions and NIH funding, and the retracted papers named. Saved as <output_dir>/neighborhood_<pmid>/neighborhood.json.
read_articleThe full text of one downloaded article. With find, only the paragraphs that contain the term, numbered, which is usually enough; without it, the text up to max_chars.
search_pmcCount a PubMed Central search and list its newest matches, without downloading. Use PubMed field tags: [Title], [Title/Abstract], [mh] for MeSH, "open access"[filter]. Plain words match anywhere in the full text, so most results are off topic.
