Summary
Connects Claude to Europe PubMed Central's biomedical literature database through five focused tools: Lucene-style search across articles, full record retrieval by source and ID (Medline, PMC, preprints, clinical trials), fast abstract-only lookups, and bidirectional citation mapping (both references and citing papers). Runs as a streamable HTTP service through Pipeworx's gateway, which also offers an ask_pipeworx tool that translates natural language questions into the appropriate API calls. Useful when you need to query medical research, trace citation networks, or pull abstracts without managing Europe PMC's REST API directly. Part of a larger gateway offering 673+ data sources if you need to correlate biomedical lit with other datasets.
Keep your Mac awake while Claude Code and 40+ AI agents run. Sleeps when they're idle.

Tools
| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
search | Europe PMC search (lucene-style query). Returns metadata for matching articles. |
get_article | Full record for one article by (source, id). Source: MED (Medline), PMC, PPR (preprints), CTX (clinicaltrials). |
abstract | Just the title + abstract for one article (faster than get_article). |
references | List of references cited by one article. |
citations | List of articles citing one article. |
Quick Start
Add to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):
{
"mcpServers": {
"europepmc": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/europepmc/mcp"
}
}
}
Or connect to the full Pipeworx gateway for access to all 673+ data sources:
{
"mcpServers": {
"pipeworx": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/mcp"
}
}
}
Using with ask_pipeworx
Instead of calling tools directly, you can ask questions in plain English:
ask_pipeworx({ question: "your question about Europepmc data" })
The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.
