{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/list"}search — Europe PMC search for biomedical literature and preprints — the preprint server index for medicine and life sciences (bioRxiv, medRxiv, Research Square), for drug/clinical/disease preprint questions where arXiv (physics/CS) has nothing. Lucene-style query — use SRC:PPR to filter to preprints only (e.g. "lecanemab AND alzheimer AND SRC:PPR"), AUTH: for author, ABSTRACT: for abstract text. 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.europepmc_trial_evidence_map — Map publications that explicitly mention a ClinicalTrials.gov NCT identifier. Summarizes publication types, years, citation counts, preprints, and linked status notices. A mention can be background or secondary analysis—not necessarily the primary trial result.europepmc_evidence_landscape — Summarize a bounded Europe PMC literature sample for a biomedical topic by publication year/type, citations, open-access status, preprints, journals, and authors. This is bibliographic mapping—not evidence grading, replication analysis, or a clinical conclusion.europepmc_citation_velocity — Aggregate Europe PMC citing-publication records by year for one article and return a recent citation sample. Coverage is Europe PMC’s citation graph, so counts are a floor and citation volume is not evidence quality, replication, or endorsement.europepmc_publication_integrity_profile — Inspect one Europe PMC article for linked retractions, corrections, errata, expressions of concern, comments, versions, and preprint/published-version metadata. No linked notice means none was found in Europe PMC—not proof the article is free of concerns.europepmc_research_affiliation_profile — Summarize publications whose author affiliations match an organization, optionally within a topic. Reports authors, journals, publication types, years, and citations from a bounded sample; affiliation text is not proof of sponsorship, ownership, or institutional endorsement.Code samples (curl / TypeScript / one-click client install), schemas, and the live playground are on the pack page:
