Real prompts you can type the moment it's connected — no setup, no docs to read.
“Use “pubmed_search_articles”: Search PubMed with full query syntax, filters, and date ranges. Returns PMIDs and optional brief summaries. Supports field-specific filters.”
“Use “pubmed_fetch_articles”: Fetch full article metadata by PubMed IDs. Returns detailed article information including abstract, authors, journal, MeSH terms.”
“Use “pubmed_fetch_fulltext”: Fetch full-text articles from PubMed Central with structured sections and references. When PMC misses, transparently falls back to Europe PM.”
“Use “pubmed_format_citations”: Get formatted citations for PubMed articles in one or more formats (apa, mla, bibtex, ris, vancouver). Pass a single format as a string or m.”
Every server in the gate directory has to pass the same four checks before your AI can touch it. Here's how Pubmed MCP Server holds up.
Operated by Pubmed MCP Server (caseyjhand.com) at its documented MCP endpoint — not a third-party mirror or community re-host.
This server only exposes public data — no account and no credentials are involved when you connect.
gate checks every tool for prompt injection, hidden instructions, data-exfiltration hints, and over-broad permissions before the server is available through your gateway.
If Pubmed MCP Server adds or changes tools later, gate re-scans and alerts you — before your AI acts on the change.
Add one gateway URL to Claude, ChatGPT, or any MCP client. One-time setup, about two minutes.
Choose Pubmed MCP Server in the gate directory. No sign-in needed.
Pubmed MCP Server's tools are live in every AI client you've connected — with rules and logging built in.

https://pubmed.caseyjhand.com/mcpYes — Pubmed MCP Server operates its own remote MCP server at pubmed.caseyjhand.com. gate connects you to that official endpoint and adds security scanning, per-tool access rules, and an activity log on top.
Add gate's gateway URL to your AI client once, then pick Pubmed MCP Server in the directory. No account or sign-in is needed. From then on, Pubmed MCP Server's tools are available in every client you've connected to gate.
No. Pubmed MCP Server runs the server, and gate is fully managed. You just connect one URL — there's nothing to install, deploy, or maintain.
It's the vendor's official endpoint, and gate scans its tools for prompt injection and hidden instructions before it goes live, re-checks it whenever it changes, and lets you allow, block, or require approval for every single tool.
Yes — you can get started with gate for free and connect Pubmed MCP Server in minutes. No credit card required.
Every server below works through the same gateway URL — connect once, add tools anytime.
