noodle-biomedical-literature-discovery-mcp

noodle-biomedical-literature-discovery-mcp is a skill for Claude Code from helena-bioinformatics/noodle-mcp. It costs 62 tokens per session (236 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A coding-agent skill for discovering public biomedical research papers. It can search by topic or identifier, inspect publications, find related papers, and explore citation or semantic links.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to search PubMed-style literature, look up PMID, DOI, or PMCID records, inspect papers, follow related research, or check corpus coverage.
Why use it?
It removes the need to know exact paper details before starting a search. It also separates discovery signals, such as similarity or citations, from proof of a scientific claim.

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

noodle-biomedical-literature-discovery-mcp scanned grade A with 0 findings 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 11d 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.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

Noodle Biomedical Literature Discovery MCP

Use the hosted read-only tools for source-linked biomedical literature claims. Route natural-language or exact-identifier search to search_biomedical_literature; PMID and work records to their matching detail tools; graph exploration to the matching neighborhood tool; and coverage or freshness questions to get_corpus_summary.

Start graph traversal from a resolved PMID or work ID. Preserve returned edge types and graph provenance, keep a visited set, and stop at a missing neighborhood. Never infer causality from citation or semantic proximity.

Send only public non-sensitive questions and identifiers. Never send patient, private case, clinical-record, credential, or private uploaded content. Verify important scientific conclusions in the linked primary publications.

What this file has done since we first saw it

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.
