Summary
Connects Claude to MedlinePlus, the NIH's consumer health information database. Exposes a single search tool that queries MedlinePlus topics and related National Library of Medicine databases using free text. Runs through Pipeworx's hosted gateway, so there's no local setup or API keys to manage. You can call the search tool directly or use ask_pipeworx to handle queries in plain English. Reach for this when you need reliable, government-sourced health information in conversational apps or when building medical education tools that need to pull from trusted sources without dealing with NLM API authentication.
Keep your Mac awake while Claude Code and 40+ AI agents run. Sleeps when they're idle.

}
}

The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.
