PubCrawl MCP

An MCP server that provides AI assistants with verifiable access to biomedical literature and regulatory data. It supports searching PubMed and Europe PMC for articles and preprints, retrieving structured abstracts and full texts, and accessing US/UK drug labelling and ClinicalTrials.gov data. The server includes tools for comparing drug labels across markets and finding related clinical trials, with results linking back to source databases like DailyMed and the eMC.
