`resolve_term`

Pack: mesh · Endpoint: https://gateway.pipeworx.io/mesh/mcp

Map a free-text term or everyday synonym to its canonical MeSH descriptor(s) — the preferred heading to use when searching PubMed. Tries an exact descriptor match first; if none, falls back to a fuzzy contains match (flagged fuzzy). Keyless.

Parameters

Name	Type	Required	Description
`text`	string	yes	A term or synonym to canonicalize, e.g. “aspirin”, “high blood pressure”, “diabetes”.
`limit`	number	no	Max matches (default 10, max 25).
