Usage

Add the following to your claude_desktop_config.json file:

{
    "mcpServers": {
        "pubmedmcp": {
            "command": "uvx",
            "args": ["pubmedmcp@latest"],
            "env": {
                "UV_PRERELEASE": "allow",
                "UV_PYTHON": "3.12"
            }
        }
    }

Make sure uv is installed on your system and uvx is available in your PATH (Claude PATH sometimes differs from your system PATH).
You can add a PATH key in your claude_desktop_config.json file to ensure uv is available in Claude PATH.
