fetch-pubmed-recent
Fetch PubMed records for a date window + keyword set. Normalize the output to the same shape as fetch-preprint-recent so a calling agent can dedupe across sources.
Workflow
- [ ] Step 1: Detect transport — prefer PubMed MCP if available, else E-utilities via WebFetch
- [ ] Step 2: Build the keyword query with explicit date bounds
- [ ] Step 3: Execute search → list of PMIDs (page if > 100)
- [ ] Step 4: Fetch metadata + abstracts for each PMID batch
- [ ] Step 5: Normalize records to canonical shape
- [ ] Step 6: Return matched records + summary
Step 1 — Detect transport
At session start the runtime exposes any connected MCP servers. Check whether tools matching mcp__*PubMed*__search_articles and mcp__*PubMed*__get_article_metadata are available.
