`get_descriptor`

Pack: mesh · Connect: https://pipeworx.io/mcp (see Connect below for a single-pack URL)

No MCP client? Call it directly: GET https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/get_descriptor for the schema, then POST the same URL with its arguments for the data.

Get full detail for a MeSH descriptor by its ID (e.g. “D003920” = Diabetes Mellitus): its preferred label, entry terms (synonyms MeSH indexes under it), allowable qualifiers (subheadings like “drug therapy”, “epidemiology”), and related see-also headings. Keyless.

Parameters

`mesh_id`	string	yes	A MeSH descriptor ID, e.g. “D003920” (Diabetes Mellitus) or “D001241” (Aspirin).
