Europepmc vs Biothings MCP

Europepmc tools 10

• searchEurope 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_articleFull record for one article by (source, id). Source: MED (Medline), PMC, PPR (preprints), CTX (clinicaltrials).
• abstractJust the title + abstract for one article (faster than get_article).
• referencesEurope PMC literature database — the reference list of one biomedical article, identified by source (MED, PMC, PPR) plus its id. Returns each cited work's title, authors, journal, publication year and its own Europe PMC / PubMed identifiers, with the total count and a pageSize control. Answers what prior work a paper cites.
• citationsEurope PMC literature database — the citing side of the citation graph: the biomedical articles that cite one article, identified by source (MED, PMC, PPR) plus its id. Returns each citing work's title, authors, journal, publication year and Europe PMC / PubMed identifiers, with the total citation count and a pageSize control. Answers who has cited a paper and how many times it has been cited.
• europepmc_trial_evidence_mapMap 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_landscapeSummarize 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_velocityAggregate 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_profileInspect 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_profileSummarize 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.
