pubmed_search

MCP.Pizza Chef: wavelovey

The pubmed_search MCP server facilitates searching PubMed through the Model Context Protocol. It features a simple note storage system using a custom note:// URI scheme, allowing access to individual notes with metadata such as name, description, and plain text content. The server supports a summarization prompt that generates summaries of all stored notes with adjustable detail levels. It also provides a tool to add new notes, updating the server state and notifying clients of changes. This server is ideal for integrating PubMed search capabilities into AI workflows, enabling structured note management and summarization within MCP-enabled environments.

Components

Resources

The server implements a simple note storage system with:

  • Custom note:// URI scheme for accessing individual notes
  • Each note resource has a name, description and text/plain mimetype

Prompts

The server provides a single prompt:

  • summarize-notes: Creates summaries of all stored notes
    • Optional "style" argument to control detail level (brief/detailed)
    • Generates prompt combining all current notes with style preference

Tools

The server implements one tool:

  • add-note: Adds a new note to the server
    • Takes "name" and "content" as required string arguments
    • Updates server state and notifies clients of resource changes

Configuration

[TODO: Add configuration details specific to your implementation]

Quickstart

Install

Claude Desktop

On MacOS: ~/Library/Application\ Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json On Windows: %APPDATA%/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

Development/Unpublished Servers Configuration ``` "mcpServers": { "pubmed_search": { "command": "uv", "args": [ "--directory", "/Users/nofuture/Documents/GitHub/pubmed_search", "run", "pubmed_search" ] } } ```
Published Servers Configuration ``` "mcpServers": { "pubmed_search": { "command": "uvx", "args": [ "pubmed_search" ] } } ```

Development

Building and Publishing

To prepare the package for distribution:

  1. Sync dependencies and update lockfile:
uv sync
  1. Build package distributions:
uv build

This will create source and wheel distributions in the dist/ directory.

  1. Publish to PyPI:
uv publish

Note: You'll need to set PyPI credentials via environment variables or command flags:

  • Token: --token or UV_PUBLISH_TOKEN
  • Or username/password: --username/UV_PUBLISH_USERNAME and --password/UV_PUBLISH_PASSWORD

Debugging

Since MCP servers run over stdio, debugging can be challenging. For the best debugging experience, we strongly recommend using the MCP Inspector.

You can launch the MCP Inspector via npm with this command:

npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector uv --directory /Users/nofuture/Documents/GitHub/pubmed_search run pubmed-search

Upon launching, the Inspector will display a URL that you can access in your browser to begin debugging.
