get_related_articles
Pack: pubmed · Endpoint: https://gateway.pipeworx.io/pubmed/mcp
Find papers SIMILAR to a given article — NIH PubMed’s own computed ‘related articles’ (pubmed_pubmed neighbors), ranked by relevance using shared terms/MeSH/citations. Pass one PMID; returns the top related papers with full citation metadata (title, authors, journal, date, DOI). Use for “more papers like this”, building a reading list from a seed paper, or broadening a literature search beyond keyword matches. Distinct from get_citations (which finds papers that cite this one).

|---|---|---|---|
pmid | string | yes | A single PubMed ID to find neighbors for (e.g., “24025838”) |
