get_full_text

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

Fetch the FULL TEXT of a biomedical paper from PubMed Central (the open-access subset) by PubMed ID. PREFER OVER get_abstract when you need methods/results/discussion, not just the abstract — “read the full paper”, “what methods did use”, “extract details from the paper”. Resolves the PMID to its PMC id and returns the article body text (capped ~40k chars). Only open-access articles are in PMC — returns has_full_text:false (use get_abstract) otherwise.

Parameters
