Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

pubmed-api-integration scanned grade A with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 7d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

PubMed API集成规范

API端点配置

const PUBMED_BASE_URL = 'https://eutils.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils';
const RATE_LIMIT_DELAY = 334; // PubMed限制:3请求/秒
const REQUEST_TIMEOUT = 30000; // 30秒超时

搜索查询构建

// 搜索URL构建模式
const searchUrl = new URL(`${PUBMED_BASE_URL}/esearch.fcgi`);
searchUrl.searchParams.append('db', 'pubmed');
searchUrl.searchParams.append('term', searchQuery);
searchUrl.searchParams.append('retmax', maxResults.toString());
searchUrl.searchParams.append('retmode', 'json');
searchUrl.searchParams.append('sort', sortMap[sortBy] || 'relevance');
searchUrl.searchParams.append('tool', 'mcp-pubmed-server');
searchUrl.searchParams.append('email', process.env.PUBMED_EMAIL);

数据获取模式

1. 搜索文献ID

// 使用 esearch.fcgi 获取PMID列表
const response = await fetch(searchUrl.toString(), { timeout: REQUEST_TIMEOUT });
const data = await response.json();
const ids = data.esearchresult?.idlist || [];

2. 获取文献详情

// 使用 esummary.fcgi 获取文献详情
const summaryUrl = new URL(`${PUBMED_BASE_URL}/esummary.fcgi`);
summaryUrl.searchParams.append('db', 'pubmed');
summaryUrl.searchParams.append('id', ids.join(','));
summaryUrl.searchParams.append('retmode', 'json');

3. 获取完整摘要

// 使用 efetch.fcgi 获取完整摘要
const abstractUrl = new URL(`${PUBMED_BASE_URL}/efetch.fcgi`);
abstractUrl.searchParams.append('db', 'pubmed');
abstractUrl.searchParams.append('id', pmid);
abstractUrl.searchParams.append('rettype', 'abstract');
abstractUrl.searchParams.append('retmode', 'text');

数据格式化

const article = {

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
