    Essential for any medical or life science research workflow. Being able to query PubMed directly from Claude without copy-pasting abstracts is a huge time saver.

    接入很顺，5 分钟就配好了。查文献的时候直接在对话里出结果，比开多个 tab 方便多了。希望后续能支持全文下载。

    Works great for literature reviews. The search filters map well to PubMed advanced search. Would love date range filtering exposed as a cleaner param.
